The Coronavirus epidemic 2019 has a serious impact on the education system of Thailand. Therefore, the research aims (1) to study and compare the academic achievement of higher education students affected by the situation of Corona Virus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) epidemic, (2) to construct an academic achievement model with educational engineering technology to support the learning management process of higher education institutions, and (3) to evaluate the academic achievement model. The research approaches were carried out according to the theory of data mining development using the CRISP-DM methodology (Cross-Industry Standard Process for Data Mining). The data collection was divided into two main parts according to the educational situation. The first part is a normal situation with data collected from 506 students form four courses during the second semester in the academic year of 2019. On the other hand, the second part is an abnormal situation with data collected from 475 students from four courses during the first semester in the academic year of 2020. From the research results and findings, the researchers believe that both of the traditional and online teaching and learning management enabled learners to make an academic achievement. It is imperative that the teacher is aware of the learner’s importance to graduate on time. For the future, the researcher needs to present the findings to the stakeholders in order to prepare for the unexpected situation.

“…Access to people was often described in this study as relating to communication with patients. Nurses' concerns about ICT impacting their patient care has been identified in the literature (Buheji & Buhaid, 2020;Gunawan, et al, 2020). The pandemic has also brought concerns about interacting with patients face-to-face.…”

“…The importance of ICT, and more broadly nursing informatics, being included in Aotearoa New Zealand undergraduate nursing education had already been recognised with the 2018 publication of Guidelines: Informatics for nurses entering practice (Honey et al, 2018). Gunawan et al (2020,) suggest that COVID-19 has brought "both positive and negative, or yin and yang effects" (p. 1515). This study somewhat reflects this dichotomy, though we conclude with this positive comment from one nurse participant:…”

The COVID-19 global pandemic has altered the way people in Aotearoa New Zealand live, work, play, and access healthcare, and this has included an increase in the use of technology. The aim of this exploratory study was to understand Aotearoa New Zealand nurses' use of technology during the COVID-19 lockdown, in particular what information and communication technologies (ICT) was being used and how nurses felt about using ICT in their practice. An anonymous online survey, utilising both open and closed-ended questions, was selected as an appropriate and safe data collection method during the pandemic. Snowball sampling was used with an online survey that was sent out during the level 3 lockdown (from March to May 2020) via social media and existing email networks and so potentially dispersed to nurses throughout Aotearoa New Zealand. In total 220 responses were received. The results were analysed using descriptive statistics, and open-ended qualitative comments were thematically analysed. The key finding was that there were significant access issues related to nurses using ICT in their practice: Access to information technology systems and resources, access to technical support, access to connectivity (particularly for those working from home in rural communities) and access to patients and colleagues. As predicted, this study has identified areas for future exploration but highlights Aotearoa New Zealand nurse's ability and willingness to embrace technology to better meet the needs of their patients.Keywords / Ngā kupu matua: access to technology / noho wātea ki te hangarau; COVID-19; ICT; technology / hangarau; nursing / mahi tapuhi Te Reo Māori translation Ko te noho wātea hei ara tīmata, hei tauārai hoki ki te whakamahinga a tētahi tapuhi i ICT i te urutā o Covid-19: Ngā kitenga o tētahi uiuinga ā-motu Ngā ariā matuaNā te urutā COVID-19 kua rerekē te noho, te mahi, te tākaro, te urutomo ki ngā tautiaki hauora, o te tangata i Aotearoa New Zealand, nā konei kua piki ake te whakamahinga hangarau.

“…These approaches have resulted in the "new normal" with regard to healthcare behaviors to combat the viral transmission of COVID-19 among Thais. For example, wearing surgical masks or face masks 8 , using alcohol handsanitizing gels, washing hands 9,10 , and practicing good hand hygiene 11 have been introduced in daily life, especially in crowded public areas, to minimize droplet and airborne transmission. As a result, the number of domestic infectious cases and the mortality rate have not continuously increased for several months.…”

Individual’s decision to cooperate with disease prevention varies based on their respective health beliefs and common factors that motivate actions. Previous research has found that pandemic anxiety, high health literacy, and eHealth literacy influenced healthcare behavior. Understanding how the pandemic affects people on modifying preventive health behavior is promising. Accordingly, this cross-sectional study focusing on health behavior utilized Structural Equation Modeling to characterize causative factors of anxiety, health literacy, eHealth literature, and protection in the new normal of COVID-19 pandemic in Thailand. Online surveys used a snowball sampling method through social media to recruit participants aged over 20 years in 8 provinces in Thailand. iGeneration and millennials were the top two, making up 75.0% of the 700-respondents in total. Independent variables: Health Literacy (p = .030); eHealth Literacy (p < .001); and anxiety (p = .040) significantly influenced the new normal. The new normal practices: hand hygiene, wearing hygienic masks and social distancing, maintaining good health, and preventing virus exposure by making digital payments could be indicated by 34% of Thai people by all those independent variables. This means that those who are more concerned and literate about health literacy and eHealth literacy, will make better health decisions and practice more preventive health care. Individuals may use health knowledge to make healthy decisions to protect themselves from the current pandemic. They can also use what they have learned to defend themselves from other emerging infectious illnesses in the future. Therefore, official institutions should provide helpful and timely health information that is easily accessible. Public health interventions should prioritize the availability of health information in the electronic form on various social media platforms to educate people to protect themselves from the spread of disease. The information should be comprehensible and practical for all socioeconomic groups.
