Introduction: Collection, secretion, and burial of waste products by scientific and economic methods are from the main problems with regard to hygiene and environment. Evaluation of the current situation and the ways that individuals, families, and industrial managers deal with this issue are basic steps towards applying the right methods in this regard. This study was carried out to predict the effective factors on the waste collection behavior in Kerman using the health belie model. Methods: This cross-sectional descriptive survey was conducted in Kerman city in 2015. The stratified random sampling method was conducted and  400 general practitioners were selected. A researcher-made questionnaire based on the Health  Belief  Model was applied. The validity and  reliability of this questionnaire were confirmed. Data collected using descriptive statistics, Spearman correlation coefficient, and the Kruskal-Wallis test were analyzed by SPSS version 16. Results: The results showed that the mean age of participants was 28.12 ± 1.06 years. The benefits, severity, and perceived sensitivity had the highest means, respectively. No significant relationship was found among individuals' education, awareness, and perceived sensitivity. Considering the variables of perceived barriers, benefits, and severity, the significant level was less than 0.05.  Two-thirds of the participations introduced "home" as the best place to conduct the desired behavior. Conclusion: Perceived benefits, severity, and sensitivity were identified as the best predictors of waste collection behavior. So, in order to improve the behavior, we recommend planning based on the health belief model with an emphasis on the reduction of barriers and increase of the perceived benefits and severity.

ABSTRAK Proses menua sering dikaitkan dengan insiden penyakit kronik seiring dengan penurunan kondisi fisik, psikologis, maupun sosial serta berkurangnya daya tahan tubuh dalam menghadapi pengaruh luar dari ketahanan tubuhnya. Banyak permasalahan timbul dari kondisi kronis di lansia karena meningkatnya jumlah lansia. Pengontrolan maupun pencegahan menuju kondisi lebih parah dapat dilakukan melalui gaya hidup sehat. Salah satu model yang dikembangkan untuk melihat faktor-faktor yang mempengaruhi tindakan seseorang untuk mencari upaya hidup sehat adalah model kepercayaan kesehatan atau Health Belief Model. Tujuan penelitian mengetahui faktor-faktor yang mempengaruhi perilaku lansia dengan penyakit kronis dalam mengatasi penyakitnya berdasarkan Health Belief Model di Puskesmas. Jenis penelitian deskriptif analitik dengan pendekatan cross sectional. Populasi dalam penelitian ini adalah lansia yang mengalami penyakit kronis di Puskesmas Bareng Kota Malang. Jumlah sampel sebanyak 76 responden. Hasil analisis menggunakan uji chi-square menunjukkan bahwa variabel perceived susceptibility, perceived severity, perceived benefits, perceived barriers yang berhubungan dengan perilaku lansia (p<0.05). Hasil model akhir analisis multivariat, variabel perceived barriers merupakan variabel yang berhubungan dengan perilaku lansia yang menderita penyakit kronis. Dukungan individu lain terhadap lansia mulai dari mereka yang tinggal bersama maupun oleh aparat penduduk setempat untuk meminimalkan atau menghilangkan rintangan mesti dilakukan agar kualitas hidup lansia dengan penyakit kronis dapat optimal.

The Health Belief Model

A health belief model is used to evaluate people's beliefs about health problems and predict engagement in health-promoting behaviors. Overweight and obesity are health problems that could be corrected by healthier diet. Eighty-seven employees of the Taipei Tzu Chi Hospital participated in a month-long program that offered 500-calorie vegetarian meals. The health belief model questionnaire was designed and administered. Body composition (weight, body mass index, body fat, body water, and muscle mass) was measured weekly. Additionally, the number of meals taken and visits to nutrition consultants were analyzed. Overall, a higher perceived susceptibility was related to a decrease in weight, body fat, and muscle. Higher perceived benefits or higher perceived barriers were both related to a decrease in weight and body fat, but to an increase in body water and muscle. In the overweight or obese group, a significant correlation was found between perceived barriers and weight. No significant relationship was found between the health belief model and the total number of meals or number of visits to nutrition consultants. Perceived benefits and barriers were significantly related to changes in weight, body fat, body water, and muscle. With vegetarian meal plans as the cue for action, the health belief model can be utilized to predict changes in body composition.

This study aimed to create a measurement tool for the determination of university students’ health beliefs about testicular cancer (TC) and self-examination. This is a methodological and cross-sectional study. The study sample included 425 university students. Consents and approvals were obtained from the relevant institutions and the ethics committee prior to the research. The data were collected using an interview form that included questions about descriptive characteristics, family history of TC, and knowledge, beliefs, and practice of self-examination. The health belief model including 41 questions about self-examination and the interview form were administered to the students in their classrooms at a suitable time. Principal components analysis and varimax rotation were used for the examination of the structures of the factors. Accordingly, factor patterns, self-values, and the variance percentages they explained were evaluated. The average age of the participants is 22.2 ± 2.3 (min = 17; max = 40). Of them, 98.8% of the participants are single ( n = 420). Of them, 56.2% have heard about TC before, and 18.4% said they were informed about TC. Factor loading of the items in the first factor was 0.64 to 0.89, while it was 0.48 to 0.75 for the items in the second factor, 0.50 to 0.87 for the items in the third factor, 0.37 to 0.68 for the items in the fourth factor, 0.51 to 0.68 for the items in the fifth factor, and 0.65 to 0.79 for the items in the sixth factor. The health belief model scale may be used in TC screenings for males to measure susceptibility, seriousness, health motivation, barriers, benefits, and self-efficacy.

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.
