The purpose of this research is to develop a health promotion model for the elderly. The research process included participation from the community in Sawai Sub-District, Prangku District, Sisaket Province, between October 2024 and January 2025. The group that was used as a model for this study was further divided into two subgroups. The subgroups comprised 50 people who had involvement and 170 elderly people. The research used the model Kemmis and McTaggart's operational research consisted of 2 cycles, 4 steps as follows: planning, performing, observing, and reflecting on results. Data were analyzed by collecting classification content analysis. Analyze data by collecting, categorizing, and analyzing content and the mean difference of scores before and after the model was applied using the paired t-test. The process model for a health promotion model for the elderly  is “SAWA2I Model,” consisting of 1) 1) S; Structure Team: Have a team and working group, and define the structure, roles, and responsibilities clearly. 2) A; Situation Analysis: Analyze the situation to plan the work with participation. 3) W; Workshop: Participatory workshop to find ways to work together. 4) A; Action: Putting the plan into practice. 5) I1; Integrate: Working in an integrated manner with network partners. 6) I2; Improvement: Improving work to be a good example.  3) A; Action : Implementation of development plans arising from participatory planning 4) O ; Observation : Observation, Supervision Follow up and support model development operations. 5) R1; Resource sharing: Resource sharing, people, money, methods  6) R2 ; Reflection: Reflection on performance and after-action review. Integrate integrated work with network partners 6) I2 ; Improvement: Improving work You can be a good role model. The results of comparing the quality of life of the elderly after testing the health promotion model of the elderly with community participation found that the quality of life of the elderly It is at a moderate level, 76.47 percent, mean (Mean) = 83.60, standard deviation (S.D.) = 8.99 Quality of life of the experimental population After experimenting with the format, there was a statistically significant difference at the level of of.05 ( = 10.50, t = 4.197) in satisfaction after the trial of the format. There was a statistically significant difference at .05 level ( = 4.31, t = 3.530) In summary, the success factors of the study consisted of 6 factors: 1) having strong community leaders 2) importance being given to the elderly by the local administrative organizations 3) Community participation in every step of the process 4) subdistrict healthpromoting hospitals providing support and encouragement 5) social capital 6) Network coordination.
