Abstract Background Pharmacists are known as health care professionals who are responsible for the safety and efficacy of medicine to achieve optimal therapeutic results. Community pharmacists have an opportunity to provide direct services including giving an active medication information service in women during pregnancy and breastfeeding. This study aimed to determine the factors associated with the practice of community pharmacists for actively giving the drug information service for women with chronic diseases during pregnancy and breastfeeding based on the Health Belief Model. Methods About 300 community pharmacists were randomly chosen to participate in the study. All participants were asked to complete questionnaires that were designed based on the theory of the Health Belief Models. The questionnaires measured the community pharmacists’ knowledge, beliefs, cues to action, and practice for actively giving medication information services. Results About 267 pharmacists in the community agreed to participate in this study. Nearly 80% of the participants were female pharmacists (n = 213). The results show that pharmacists’ knowledge had significant influences towards perceived threat (p = 0.009), perceived benefit (p = 0.011), and pharmacists’ self-efficacy (p < 0.001). The self-efficacy factor was the most influential factor in the practice of pharmacists to give medication information service actively (p < 0.001). Conclusions The findings of the study indicate that self-efficacy is the most important factor for pharmacist to be able to provide the medication information services successfully particularly in women during pregnancy and breastfeeding. Providing continuous learning programs through seminars and training related to medication use during pregnancy and breastfeeding to pharmacists is needed to optimise the confidence and the ability of pharmacists in providing the services.

ABSTRACTThe use of medication during pregnancy and breastfeeding cannot be avoided, particularly for those with chronic diseases. The use of medication for these patients require special attention, especially by pharmacists as they have the responsibility to provide medications and appropriate services to achieve optimal therapeutic goals. The drug information service actively provided by pharmacists is a display of their commitment in preventing drug therapy problems and improving the quality of life of pregnant and breastfeeding women. This study aimed to analyze the relationship between pharmacists' beliefs based on the Health Belief Model (HBM) approach and the practice of active drug information service for pregnant and breastfeeding women with chronic diseases. This study was an observational study with a cross-sectional design and used a self-administered questionnaire. 62 pharmacists in Primary Healthcare Centers in Surabaya agreed to participate in this study. The Spearman correlation analysis was used and showed that perceived self-efficacy had the strongest relationship (rs = 0.357) with the practice of providing active drug information. Thus, it can be concluded that perceived self-efficacy is a factor that is directly related to the practice of providing active drug information.Keywords: Active Drug Information Services, Health Belief Model, Pharmacists

Abstract Introduction. The benefits of physical activity (PA) have been so well documented that there is no doubt about the significance of PA for personal and social health. Several theoretical models have been proposed with a view to understanding the phenomenon of PA and other health behaviours. The purpose of this study was to evaluate if and how the variables suggested in the Health Belief Model (HBM) determine physical activity stages of change in older adults. Material and methods. A total of 172 students of Universities of the Third Age aged 54 to 75 (mean = 62.89 ± 4.83) years agreed to participate in the study, filling out an anonymous survey measuring their stage of exercise change and determinants of health behaviours proposed by the HBM, including: perceived benefits of physical activity, perceived barriers to physical activity, perceived severity of diseases associated with sedentary lifestyle, perceived susceptibility to these diseases, and self-efficacy. Results. The results only partially support the hypothesis that the HBM predicts intentions and behaviours related to the physical activity of older adults. Only two variables were moderately-to-strongly related to stages of exercise change, namely perceived barriers and self-efficacy. Conclusion. Interventions aimed at informing older adults about the benefits of physical activity and the threats associated with sedentary lifestyle can be expected to have rather a weak influence on their readiness for physical activity.

Background and Objectives: A new generation of corona virus in the areas of China, Wuhan City has been expanded and has caused many deaths. The virus is highly contagious and spreads rapidly. So far, thousands of people have been infected with the virus. The aim of this study was to investigate the status of preventive behaviors of corona virus among household health ambassadors of Ahvaz Jundishapur University of Medical Sciences using the health belief model. Subjects and Methods This study is a cross-sectional study of analytical type that was conducted on 1020 household health ambassadors of the cities covered by Ahvaz Jundishapur University of Medical Sciences in the fall of 1399. Samples were taken using available sampling and by sending an online questionnaire link to the participants. The questionnaire was completed online. A researcher-made questionnaire was used to collect data, whose validity and reliability were determined. For data analysis, Spss software, descriptive and analytical statistics were used. Results The mean age of study participants was 31.12±7.66 years. The scores of perceived benefit were 18.81±1.80 and self-efficacy 31.76±3.71, which was higher than other structures. Correlation coefficient test showed a significant correlation between corona virus preventive behaviors and all model constructs. In regression analysis, it was found that model constructs predicted 23.7% (R2=0.237) of behavior changes. Conclusion The results confirm the predictive role of perceived benefits, barriers and perceived self-efficacy concepts in corona virus disease prevention behaviors based on the Health Belief Model. Therefore, methods of promoting these constructs, such as verbal persuasion, raising awareness of the benefits, barriers and abilities of individuals through virtual media and providing appropriate models for them, can be used as factors to improve preventive behaviors of corona virus.

Introduction: Adherence to TB treatment is an important issue for TB control, with key health consequences. Identification of the factors associated with that adherence is also important. The objective of this study was to identify factors associated with adherence to tuberculosis treatment, using the health belief model (HBM). Methodology: Overall 297 TB patients were recruited to the study using the census method. All patients completed a 40-question survey form anonymously. The questionnaire was developed based on the Health Belief Model. Data collection was carried out through interviews and questionnaires, as well as observing medical records and medical cards to be used in medical performance checklists. Results: The participants comprised 159 men and 138 women with an average age of 56.8 years (range 19-72 years). The results showed that the variables of perceived threat, benefits, barriers, and self-efficacy accounted for 42% of the variance in therapeutic adherence. The strongest predictor of adherence was found to be self-efficacy. Conclusion: HBM appears to be a suitable model in predicting therapeutic adherence in TB patients. Our results emphasize the centrality of self-efficacy in treatment adherence, that health educators should consider when developing programs to motivate patients to adhere to treatment.

Abstract Background Breast cancer has become one of the most common causes of mortality among Indonesian women. Many women in Indonesia present with late-stage breast cancer, negatively affecting prognosis and treatment outcomes. Better prognosis of breast cancer will be achieved if it is diagnosed in an earlier stage, thus efforts to detect breast cancer earlier are important. Breast Self-Examination (BSE) is considered as an important first step to encourage women to actively be responsible for their own health, especially for women in low-and middle-income countries with limited resources and access to other forms of preventive healthcare (e.g., screening programs). The present study aimed to predict BSE practice among women in Surabaya, Indonesia using the Health Belief Model (HBM). Methods This investigation was a cross-sectional survey which was distributed among 1967 women aged 20–60 years. The Indonesian version of Champion’s Health Belief Model Scale (I-CHBMS) was used to explain self-reported BSE practice. Logistic regression analysis was used to examine the association of HBM variables with BSE practice. Results 44.4% of the respondents indicated they had performed BSE. Further, the results indicated that the HBM variables were significantly associated with BSE practice. Specifically, higher perceived benefits and self-efficacy, lower perceived barriers and less cues to action were unique correlates of BSE practice. The result also showed that perceived severity and susceptibility were not associated with BSE practice. Conclusion This study indicated that several HBM constructs significantly associated with BSE practice among Indonesian women, suggesting that BSE health education programs should emphasize the perceived benefits of BSE, focus on increasing women’s self-efficacy to address and overcome perceived barriers in performing BSE, and help them in identifying personally relevant cues to action.

Background: Various teaching methods could be used to reduce complications in diabetic patients. Objectives: The present study aimed to assess the effect of nutrition training based on the health belief model (HBM) and electronic methods on the awareness of patients with type II diabetes in Kermanshah, Iran in 2012. Methods: This quasi-experimental study was conducted at a diabetes clinic in Kermanshah City. In total, 60 patients were selected via convenience sampling and divided into three groups of 20, including SMS, blog, and collaborative blog. Data were collected before, immediately after, and three months after the educational intervention using a standard questionnaire. Data analysis was performed in SPSS version 16 using the Kruskal-Wallis test, Friedman’s test, and analysis of variance (ANOVA) at the significance level of 0.05. Results: The mean score of awareness was considered significant (P < 0.01). In addition, significant differences were observed in the perceived sensitivity and barriers, cue to action, and self-efficacy in the blog group (P < 0.05) before and three months after the intervention. In the collaborative blog group, a significant difference was denoted in the perceived severity and cue to action before and three months after the intervention (P < 0.05). Cue to action also differed significantly in the SMS group, and the self-efficacy score significantly changed only in the blog group after the intervention (P = 0.006). Conclusions: According to the results, using blogs, group/collaborative blogs, and SMS could effectively increase the awareness of the diabetic patients. Therefore, virtual training could enhance the structures of the HBM, with the exception of the perceived sensitivity domain.
