在老挝人民民主共和国(老挝)，健康教育显然是保健服务的一个核心方面，对于通过良好的健康改善人民生活至关重要。然而，要有效地开展健康教育，还存在许多障碍。发展有效的教育媒体是解决这些问题的方法之一。在老挝，传统民歌(LAM)作为当地传播媒体的一部分得到保留，最近这种传播媒体被用于健康教育。本研究的目的是评估教育媒体使用LAM的有效性。为此，我们与48名参与者进行了焦点小组讨论。使用KJ(Kawakita Jiro)方法分析了参与者对为预防艾滋病毒/艾滋病而开发的LAM的反应。分析显示有八个范畴值得关注：(1)讨论爱滋病病毒/爱滋病的兴趣；(2)与爱滋病病毒感染途径有关的知识和认知；(3)表达预防爱滋病病毒/爱滋病的意愿；(4)与爱滋病带菌者/爱滋病患者团结在一起；(5)对儿童进行爱滋病病毒/爱滋病教育；(6)改善教育方法；(7)爱滋病病毒/爱滋病服务的特点和成效；(8)歌曲喜好。与会者的反应，如获取知识和表达个人态度和社区预防艾滋病毒/艾滋病的行动，受到LAM的特点和有效性的推动，如口头传统、艺术性和文化价值观。特别是，以拉姆为代表的口头传统对老挝人民记忆和交流信息很有用。
In the Lao People's Democratic Republic (Laos), health education is clearly a core aspect of the health service and is vital in improving people's lives through good health. However, there are many obstacles to conducting effective health education. The development of effective educational media is one solution to these problems. In Laos, traditional folk songs (lam) are preserved as part of the local communication media, and recently this communication medium has been used for health education. The aim of this study is to evaluate the effectiveness of educational media using lam. For this purpose, we conducted focus group discussions with 48 participants. The reactions of the participants towards a lam, developed for preventing HIV/AIDS, were analysed using the KJ (Kawakita Jiro) method. The analysis showed there were eight areas of concern: (1) interest in a lam talking about HIV/AIDS; (2) knowledge and perception related to HIV infection routes; (3) expressing a willingness for preventing HIV/AIDS; (4) togetherness with people living with HIV/AIDS; (5) HIV/AIDS education for children; (6) improving educational methods; (7) characteristics and effectiveness of the lam and (8) song preferences. The reactions of the participants, such as gaining knowledge and expressing individual attitudes and community actions for preventing HIV/AIDS, were promoted by the characteristics and effectiveness of the lam such as oral tradition, artistry and cultural values. In particular, the oral tradition represented by lam is useful for the Lao people in memorizing and communicating information.
