Abstract Background Coronavirus disease (COVID-19) pandemic has become one of the biggest challenges to global health and economy. The present study aimed to explore the factors related to preventive health behaviors during the COVID-19 pandemic in Khuzestan Province, South of Iran, using the Health Belief Model (HBM). Methods The present cross-sectional study was conducted in the period between July 2020 and September 2020. A total of 1090 people from Khuzestan province participated in the study. The data collection method included a multistage cluster sampling method with a random selection of provincial of health centers. The questionnaire collected socio-demographic information and HBM constructs (e.g., perceived susceptibility, perceived severity, perceived benefits and barriers, cues to action, and COVID-19 preventive behaviors). Data were analyzed using ANOVA, t-test, hierarchical multiple linear regression, and SPSS version 22. Results The mean age of the participants was 35.53 ± 11.53, more than half of them were female (61.6%) and married (65.3). The results showed that 27% of the variance in the COVID-19 preventive behaviors was explained by HBM constructs. The regression analysis indicated that female gender (β = 0.11), perceived benefits (β = 0.10), perceived barriers (β = − 0.18), external cues to action (β = 0.25), and internal cues to action (β = 0.12) were significantly associated with COVID-19 preventive behaviors (p < 0.05). Conclusion Designing an educational intervention on the basis of HBM might be considered as a framework for the correction of beliefs and adherence to COVID-19 behavior. Health information campaigns need to (1) emphasize the benefits of preventive behaviors including avoiding the likelihood of getting a chronic disease and complications of the disease, (2) highlight the tips and advice to overcome the barriers (3) provide cues to action by means of showing various reminders in social media (4) focusing on adoption of COVID-19-related preventive behaviors, especially among men.

ObjectivesCoal workers’ pneumoconiosis is caused by exposure to respirable coal mine dust. The self-protection of underground coal miners (UCM) plays an irreplaceable role against this threat. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the predictors of self-protective behaviour (SPB) in Chinese UCM based on the health belief model (HBM).MethodsA cross-sectional study was conducted among 341 UCM in January 2016 in Pingdingshan City, Henan Province, People’s Republic of China. Data was collected using a self-reported questionnaire, which included questions on sociodemographic characteristics, HBM variables and SPB. An exploratory factor analysis of the principal components with varimax rotation was carried out on the HBM-related items. Pearson’s correlation and multiple linear regression analysis were used to assess the relationship between sociodemographic characteristics, HBM variables and SPB.ResultsMultiple regression analysis demonstrated the monthly income (B=0.403, p=0.001), the internal cues to action (B=0.380, p<0.001) and external cues to action (B=0.401, p<0.001) as the predictors of UCM’s SPB, accounting for 24.8% of total variance (F=34.96, p<0.001), while the cognition variables of HBM were not significantly associated with SPB.ConclusionThe results suggested that both internal and external cues to action were powerful predictors for SPB. These findings highlight that further efforts are required to provide the UCM with periodic health check-up reports and promote the active role of doctors and family members in miners’ decision-making to simulate them for better SPB.Ethics approvalAll data collection procedures received ethical approval from the Ethics Committee of Xuhui District Centre for Disease Control and Prevention (XHHEC-2016–7).

Abstract Background: Kidney failure is one of the most important late complication in type 2 patients with diabetes, so more of half-people are wait to graft kidney are people that caused to diabetes. The purpose of this study, was predict to care of kidney in type 2 diabetes patients based on Health Belief Model (HBM).Methods: In this analytical cross-sectional study, 242 patients with type 2 diabetes select with simple sampling of health centers in Arak ( a city in Iran) in 2020 and health behaviors of kidneys collected based on HBM with reliable and validity of questionaries’ and analyses by linear regression logistic.Results: The mean age of patients was 47.51 ±7.86 years. FBS average was 159.65 ± 55.01 mi/dc and average of performance of patients about care of kidney was 30/31± 6/42. Among HBM construct predicted about %38 perceived severity, %67.6 knowledge, %31.8 self-efficacy and %16.4 internal cues to action, these cases have the most power for prediction and total of construct predict health behavior of kidneys that are about %49. Conclusion: This study showed that increasing patients information in field of recognizing kidney failure, emphasis on role of cues to action and finally increasing self-efficacy in patients with type 2 diabetes about care of kidney should be emphasis in education programs for preventing of kidney failure.

Program Voluntary Counseling and Testing (VCT) merupakan salah satu strategi kesehatan masyarakat yang di lakukan untuk menekan penyebaran HIV/AIDS. Tingginya kasus HIV/AIDS di Indonesia salah satunya dikarenakan minta seseorang yang berisiko untuk melakukan pemeriksaan VCT yang masih rendah. Teori Health Belief Model adalah model teoritis yang dapat digunakan untuk memandu promosi kesehatan dan program pencegahan penyakit. Tujuan penelitian ini yaitu untuk mengetahui faktor yang berhubungan dengan pemanfatan klinik VCT pada LSL remaja dengan pendekatan teori Health Belief Model (HBM) di Kota Kediri tahun 2020. Pwnwlitian ini termasuk penelitian analiotik korelasi dengan pendekatan Cross sectional. 83 sampel orang dipilih denagn porposive sampling. Variabel Independen variabel meliputi perceived susceptibility, perceived benefits, perceived barrier, perceived seriusnes, dan cues to action. Variabel dependen adalah pemanfaatan layanan VCT. Data di kumpulkan dengan kuesioner dan di analisis dengan sperman rank. Hasil menunjukan bahwa perceived susceptibility dengan pemanfaaatan layanan VCT (p = 0,255), perceived seriousness dengan pemanfaatan layanan VCT (p = 0,241), perceived  benefits dengan pemanfaatan VCT ( p = 0,064), perceived barrier dengan pemanfaatan layanan VCT (p = 0,026), Hubungan cues to action dengan pemanfaatan layanan VCT (p = 0,169). Perceived susceptibility, perceived benefits, perceived seriusnes, dan cues to action tidak memiliki korelasi denagn pemanfaatan layana VCT, perceived barrier memiliki korelasi dengan pemanfaatan layanan VCT. Di saran kan bagi LM untuk sering memberikan informasi kepasa orang-orang beresiko tinggi HIV/AIDS. Kata kunci : VCT, LSL, HIV, HBM
