Background and Aims: This research aimed to investigate the factors influencing the competence of cancer patient coordination units in Thai hospitals. This research aimed to investigate the factors influencing the competence of cancer patient coordination units in Thai hospitals.
Methodology: This quantitative research with a research population of 343 workers of Cancer Patient Coordination Unit of hospitals in Thailand. The sample size was calculated using a ratio of the number of cases to the number of model parameters required for statistical estimation of 10:1, resulting in a sample of 220, and stratified random sampling was used. Data were collected using questionnaires with Index of item objective congruence between 0.80-1.00, and reliability score of 0.96. Data were analyzed using statistics of frequency, percentage, mean, standard deviation, and Structural Equation Modeling analysis.
Results: The research results found that the factors that significantly influenced the performance of cancer patient coordination units in hospitals in Thailand at the .01 level included Transformational Leadership, Participation, Learning Organization, and Strategic Management Capability, which together could explain 45 percent of the variance in the competence of Cancer Patient Coordination Units
Conclusion: The model was consistent with the empirical data. It shows that the development of cancer patient coordination unit competencies should focus on promoting transformational leadership, building participation, promoting strategic management capability, and creating learning organizations.
