Abstract

This research is semi-experimental. The objective is to explore the cognitive perception of pesticides and strengthen self-management from pesticides. The sample is a farmer who receives health screening in Sub district Health Promotion hospital Amphoe Phang Khone. A specific selection of two groups is experimental and comparison 40 per group. The experimental group participated in the learning program from pesticides in farmers and created self-management skills from pesticides. Comparative groups are usually supervised by health care hospitals to promote the health of the district period of trial 3 months. Analyze data by using the ready-made computer program descriptive statistics (percentage, mean, standard deviation), chi-square, Paired t-test. The results of this research have found that after the trial in the experimental group has a knowledge rating the perception of disease and practice skills to prevent the disease from pesticides are higher than baseline. Blood cholinesterase activity test in both groups before the trial are normal level of distribution value to an unsafe level. After the trial, the choline level the terrace in the blood stream decreased in the experimental group. No level of security and level of risk reduction. The result of the analysis of the difference between the choline levels the blood before and after the trial was reduced statistically significant at level 0.019 (p-value = 0.05).
