Factors perceived by village health volunteers to implement the strategies of the COVID-19 Control Centre in Thailand

CONCLUSION: The village health volunteers have an important role in implementing the initiatives of the Thai COVID-19 Control Centre. The key findings suggest that disease severity awareness, preventive health behaviour, and organisational support awareness are critical factors influencing the operation of the COVID-19 Control Centre by village health volunteers in Thailand. Understanding and addressing these factors could contribute to early and effective interventions in managing the spread of COVID-19 and potentially future other epidermics. SO WHAT?: These outcomes may positively contribute to effective early interventions as well as appropriate responses to the spread of COVID-19 and to be better prepared to tackle future infectious threats. Further support for the village health volunteers is warranted to determine their efficacy.PMID:37619966 | DOI:10.1002/hpja.798
