| Abstract |
Health care is a significant health concern among monks, who are a special group that is different from the normal population in terms of access to the health care service system. This study aims to expose the prevalence of quality of life (QOL) and the association between health promotion and the QOL of monks in the northeast of Thailand.
This cross-sectional analytical research was conducted among monks in the northeast of Thailand. Of these, 420 samples were selected using the multi-stage random sampling method. The generalized linear mixed model was used to identify the association between health promotion, health literacy, and QOL in the northeast of Thailand.
The results presented that the monks had health check-ups, 55.24%, and the prevalence of good QOL was 49.05 (95%CI: 44.27–53.84). Factors associated with the good QOL were good implementation of Ottawa Charter of health promotion (Adjusted Odds Ratio [AOR] = 5.35; 95%CI 3.42–8.36; p-value=0.034), adequate-excellent of health literacy (AOR= 1.77; 95%CI 1.04–3.03; p-value=0.034). There was low stress (AOR= 2.36; 95%CI 1.07–5.20; p-value=0.034), and low depressive symptoms (AOR= 4.46; 95%CI 1.06–5.10; p-value=0.036).
Half of the monks had a good QOL. The major factors that determined the QOL were health promotion in the Ottawa Charter, health literacy, stress, and depression. Therefore, health policymakers could emphasize the principle of the Ottawa Charter, health literacy in monks, which will be attributed to other health promotions.
