‣With the ever increasing work load on VHVs, one of the biggest challenges for the community is guaranteeing that the VHVs remain satisfied and committed to continuing their roles.
‣However, according to WHO, there is a high turnover rate of VHVs across the world.
‣In Thailand as in many other developing countries, the drop-out rate is high. In previous study conducted in Thailand (1986), 62% of VHVs for malaria prevention showed an intention to leave.
‣High rates of turnover can hinder the capacity of organizations to deliver the quality of services clients required. Despite this, only a few scholars have investigated the factors of VHVs with the intention to leave elderly care.
It is therefore the aim of this study to identify the predictors that leads to the VHVs intention to leave their roles as elderly care givers.
