    Factors Associated With Alcohol Consumption Among Thai People by Gender
    (International Nurses Society on Addictions, 2023) Sattha Prakobchai
    Objective: The aim of this study was to examine factors associated with alcohol consumption among Thai people by gender using the social determinants of health theoretical framework. Method: Participants were Thai people aged 15 years or older. A total of 25,758 Thai people were selected through a stratified random sampling method. The study was a secondary analysis of a national cross-sectional study using the data from the Thailand Smoking and Drinking Behavior Survey 2014. Results: Thai people were regular drinkers (13.69%). Regarding gender, 26.54% of men and 2.72% of women wen were regular drinkers. The risk factors for regular drinking among Thai men included family members and close friends consuming alcohol, being aged 25-44 years, living in Northem Thailand, being a skilled or unskilled worker, smoking, and income of 10,001-30,000 Thai bahtimonth (31 Thai Baht (THBYU.S. dollars). Protective factors against alcohol consumption were living in Southern Thailand and being unemployed/a student. For women, the risk factors for regular drinking were family members and close friends drinking as well as smoking. Being married, living in a nonmunicipal area, holding a diploma or bachelor's degree, and being unemployed/a student were protective factors against alcohol drinking among women. Factors associated with alcohol consumption among Thai people vary by gender. Therefore, solving the drinking problems should consider both the risk and protective factors for men and women separately.

    Health Behaviors and Patients with Coronary Artery Disease (CAD) : Role of Self-efficacy
    (Journal of Food Health and Bioenvironmental Science, 2021) Chayanis Chobarunsitti; Sattha Prakobchai
    Cardiac disease is a major risk of mortality and morbidity globally. Patients with coronary artery diseases are more likely to die than other chronic diseases in poor health behavior either pre or post-treatment. Even though cardiac patients tried to seek the ways to promote their health, they might face with the difficulties to change the behavior. Numerous studies showed that self-efficacy plays a crucial role as a buffer to perform activity as reflect personal beliefs and confidence. We synthesize the evidences on self-efficacy and health behavior regarding smoking behavior, alcohol consumption, eating behavior, physical activity or exercise behavior and stress management.We found that most of the researchers successfully applied self-efficacy to promote physical activity or exercise among patients with coronary artery disease in short term period.Nurses should assess functional status and provide health education to promote well-being and encourage patients to perform and maintain their capability on health-promoting behaviors.

    Physical Activity and Heart Rate Variability Among Middle Age to Older Adults with Heart Failure: The State of Scienc
    (Journal of Food Health and Bioenvironmental Science, 2023) Sattha Prakobchai; Kijja Suwan; Manida Dechakul
    Physical activity or exercise relates to the physiological responses especially in heart rate variability (HRV). HRV is a predictor of prognosis of heart failure and cardiac functions. However, little is known about the relationship of physical activity, HRV improvement and autonomic regulation in heart failure of older adults. The purpose of this state of science review is to synthesize the evidence that shows the effects of physical activity or exercise, HRV and physiological outcomes. The literature searched includes 12 studies from four electronic databases (PsycInfo, Pubmed, Scopus and CINAHL). The findings revealed that physical activity or exercise will improve HRV. This review showed that physical activity improves cardiac autonomic function (nerohormornal activation, sympathetovocal balance, baroreceptor reflex) and inhibits alpha 2 antagonist to improve HR reserve and RR intervals and prevent premature ventricular contraction (PVC). However, the level of physical activity and intensity are not clear. Tailored interventions or community-based programs will be effective in order to maintain physical activity and functional outcomes. A higher HRV is related to the functional capacity compared to the lower. Therefore, healthcare providers should regularly assess heart rate variability among heart failure patients to determine the threshold and recovery for physical functioning in regards to the stress form physical activity.
