Abstract

BACKGROUND

This paper investigates the role of local women village health volunteers, women on the frontline, during COVID-19 in the northern province of Thailand.

METHODS

This research employs a qualitative method with grounded-based analysis of primary data from in-depth interviews of 40 local women village health volunteers that were selected by a purposeful sampling of 10 key informants per district, live in 4 sub-districts in Chiang Mai, the northern province of Thailand: Suthep Subdistrict, Mae Hia Subdistrict, Fa Ham Subdistrict, and Tha Sala Subdistrict.

RESULTS

The role of local women village health volunteers during COVID-19 is diverse, such as community health caregivers, the Surveillance and Rapid Response Team (SRRT), health facilitators and mediators, and the manager of community health funds and resources mobilization. Volunteering for local women in community health services at the local level, participating based on personal desire and foreseeable opportunities, could create meaningful participation for the local women in terms of empowering them and as a driver of local community (health) development.

CONCLUSIONS

Findings reveal that understanding local women's perspectives on their roles could be made through the lens of the intersection of femininity, social role, motivation, and their contribution to their community.

摘要

背景

本文调查了在泰国北部省，处于抗疫前线的当地女性村落卫生志愿者在 COVID-19 期间所扮演的角色。

方法

本研究采用定性方法，对来自泰国北部清迈府的 40 名当地女性村落卫生志愿者的深度访谈进行了扎根理论分析。这些志愿者是通过每个地区 10 名关键信息提供者的目的性抽样选择的，他们居住在清迈府的 4 个分区：素贴分区、湄哈亚分区、法汉分区和塔萨莱分区。

结果

当地女性村落卫生志愿者在 COVID-19 期间的角色多种多样，如社区卫生护理员、监测和快速反应小组 (SRRT)、卫生促进者和调解者，以及社区卫生资金和资源动员经理。当地女性参与基层社区卫生服务的志愿服务，是基于个人愿望和可预见的机会参与的，这可以使当地女性有意义地参与其中，赋予她们权力，并成为当地社区（卫生）发展的驱动力。
