On Monday, 15 December 2025, Asst. Prof. Dr. Jintana Tongpeth, Asst. Prof. Dr. Chanjira Seesawang, and second-year nursing students from Prachomklao College of Nursing, Phetchaburi Province, provided health screening for residents of Village 5, Thong Chai Subdistrict, Mueang District, Phetchaburi. The activity integrated theoretical learning in the Adult and Older Adult Nursing I course with community health promotion through the PBRI Model. Working with Thong Chai Subdistrict Health Promoting Hospital and village health volunteers, the team measured fingertip blood glucose and blood pressure. They also advised residents on PBRI Model-based behavior changes to prevent noncommunicable diseases, particularly diabetes and hypertension. Recommendations included exercise incorporating Phetchaburi folk arts and culture, dietary choices to prevent diabetes and high blood pressure, and stress management.
