Abstract
The Objectives of this study were to investigate family participation in supporting drug use for Thai elderly with chronic diseases and to create a handbook for families who are assisting in treatment of Thai elderly with chronic diseases. Key informants are elderly's family, where the elder has at least one chronic disease, in lower northern areas. The key informants are composed of two main groups; the elderly with a chronic disease and their family members. Purposive sampling and in-depth interview with interview guide were used for the study. Data collection and content analysis were conducted from early in October, 2013 until late in June, 2014. Data saturation was achieved with 50 cases. The results from this part were employed to make a handbook for families who are assisting in treatment of Thai elderly with chronic diseases. The handbook was reviewed by three specialists. After editing, the handbook was evaluated by those families. Frequency, mean and standard deviation were employed for analysis in this part. The results showed that there were nine types of family participation in supporting drug use. Those were 1) taking the elderly to see their physicians, 2) travelling to get medicine for the elderly, 3) tracking physician's appointments, 4) assisting with correct drug use, 5) assisting with appropriate diet, 6) maintaining correct medication schedule, 7) preparing drugs for each meal, 8) monitoring symptoms of drug use, and 9) building both self-esteem and esteem in others. Several obstacles to good support were identified. They are employment outside the family, misunderstandings between family members and the elderly about the capabilities/self-support of the elderly, lack of knowledge about chronic diseases and drug use in the elderly and weak family relationships. In terms of handbook evaluation, the families had a good level of satisfaction in every item evaluated.
