This evaluation study aimed to investigate the maternal and child health project. Notably, how
was the life quality of mother and child promoted by the project?; how were the maternal self-practice and childcare perceptions before and after the maternal and child health promotion in 1997 shaped by social learning process?; how were the maternal self-practice and childcare perceptions before and
after the maternal and child health promotion in 1995-97 correlated continuously by social learning process?, and how progressed? The sample studied contained the mother and pregnant woman group in Pattani bay community. The research instrument employed the social learning process such as focus group discussion, demonstration, skill training and supervision. Meanwhile, instrument with validity and reliability for data collection contained a set of life quality of mother and child survey questionnaire, and three sets of test of maternal self-practice and childcare perception. In addition, data analysis was engaged with frequency, percentage, t-test, coefficient correlation r, and regression to build a predic-tive equation.
As a result this study indicated : The life quality of mother and child in Pattani bay community
in 1997 changed a little from the previous year 1995-96. Most of the mothers (81%) visit prenatal clinic at nearby health center, consume food as usual as before pregnancy, having prenatal care, delivery and postnatal care as social learning process. When completed pregnancy, the mother will deliver at home with midwife's assistance, providing breast feeding, vaccination and supplemented diet to the child. Despite the mother perceived the prevention of communicable disease in child very little, the maternal and child health promotion affected the maternal self-practice and childcare a lot. With the social learning process, the maternal self-practice and childcare perception was increased to 75.47% from 60.59% in 1997. Then, the overall perception, before and after the process, was significantly different at .01 level, as well as in each village. In addition, the maternal and child health promotion during
1995-97 affected the association of the maternal self-practice and childcare perception a lot, with co-efficient correlation r to .97. Consequently, the mother learned the maternal self-practice and childcare perception by the social learning process, and gained 14% annually, as the predictive equation of the maternal self-practice and childcare perception was constructed as follows : y = 5.38+1.14 x .
