In the present study, we examined whether the Health Belief Model (HBM) variables were appropriate for understanding thought about different types of health behaviors. It was predicted that thought about performing a disease detection behavior would produce more responses referring to susceptibility and severity than thought about health promotion behaviors. Ninety-five participants indicated their spontaneous responses to thought about five disease detection behaviors or five health promotion behaviors. Responses were content analyzed for references to HBM variables. As expected, participants who considered disease detection behaviors made significantly more references to perceived severity and personal susceptibility than participants who considered health promotion behaviors.

Background and Aim: Anemia caused by iron deficiency, an important health issue is especially in teenager girls. The purpose of this study was, to determine the application of the Health Belief Model (HBM) constructs for the identification of influential factors on iron supplementation consumption among 9 th-grade female students in Birjand. Materials and Methods: This descriptive-analytical cross-sectional study was performed on 517 of 9th grade female students. Students were selected by the randomized multistage sampling method. Data were collected through a researcher-made questionnaire whose validity and reliability was confirmed. The questionnaire included demographic information, HBM structures, and knowledge questions. Data were analyzed by Pearson correlation coefficient and regression model. Results: The results of the study showed that public knowledge was about iron supplementation consumption, 10.1%, 42.6%, and 34.7%. Their attitudes are 1.4%, 52.6%, and 46%, and also their performance was 57.8%, 34.6% and 7.5%, respectively that were in poor, moderate and good levels, respectively. Iron supplementation consumption behavior predictors include: Self-efficacy (p = 0.196, P <0.001), practice guidelines (030/330 =, <0.001) and perceived severity (P < 0.046, β = 0.085). These structures predicted 32.4% (R = 0.324) of behavioral changes overall. Conclusion: Students' knowledge and attitude are moderate, and most 9th-grade female students do not take iron tablet, it is suggested that by conducting educational interventions and practice guidelines, perceived severity, and self-efficacy in students be strengthened.

Abstract Background: Crimean-Congo hemorrhagic fever (CCHF) is an acute, feverous disease that is either caused by tick bites or the direct contact of humans with the blood and tissues of infected livestock. The majority of patients suffering from this disease are slaughterhouse workers (including butchers), farmers, veterinarians and hospital staff. Thus, this study aimed to investigate the health behaviors of butchers regarding CCHF and study factors affecting such behaviors based on the health belief model.Methods: This is a descriptive cross-sectional study conducted on 500 butchers in Ardabil Province in 2020 by a multistage sampling method. The participants of the study completed the researcher-made questionnaire of health belief model and health behaviors model relevant to CCHF.The collected data were then analyzed by descriptive statistical tests and linear regression analysis. Results: The mean (SD) age of the participants was 44.4 (10.5), and 96% were males. Only xxx% of the participants displayed acceptable disease-preventive behaviors. The validity and reliability of the developed questionnaire were confirmed by the Cronbach-alpha index. The results of the exploratory factor analysis showed that the constructs of the model explained 84% of the total variance. The results of the study revealed that among the variables of the health belief model, perceived susceptibility (p-value = 0.006, β = 0.152) and perceived barriers (p-value = 0.05, β = 0.14) were the strongest factors predicting disease-preventive behaviors regarding CCHF.Conclusion: The results of the study showed that the health belief model can predict preventive behaviors for CCHF.Therefore, designing and executing interventions based on the results of this study may encourage such preventive behaviors in butchers.

Abstract Background: COVID-19, now a global pandemic, is a new, highly contagious, and preventable disease that has caused many deaths across the world. The correct understanding of the risks and following health instructions are among the most important self-care parameters. This study was aimed to assess people’s perceived risks and their adherence to recommended preventive behaviors regarding the COVID-19 infection.Methods: This descriptive-analytical study was conducted on 1861 people residing in Ardabil province in 2020. The data collected electronically by instrument which consisted from four parts: demographic specifications, the Health Belief Model (HBM) constructs (perceived sensitivity, perceived severity, and perceived benefits), beliefs on the effectiveness of disease prevention strategies, and complying with health behaviors. The data was analyzed using SPSS-21 software.Results: Significant differences were found in the mean scores of the beliefs on the effectiveness of preventive recommendations, the constructs of the health belief model, and compliance to preventive behaviors considering the participants’ gender, age, marital status, and the level of education. The beliefs and intention to stay at home, collectively predicted 54.7% of the variance of preventive behaviors.Conclusion: Although a the majority of participants had positive attitude toward the effectiveness of preventive measures and adhered to them, some people who were not adherent to healthy behaviors could be key participants to the next waves of the disease.

Dengue Fever is a disease caused by the dengue virus with acute fever symptoms by entering the human bloodstream through the bite of a mosquito from the genus Aedes. Dengue Hemorrhagic Fever (DHF) has spread widely to all provinces in Indonesia. This disease often appears as an Extraordinary Event (KLB) with relatively high morbidity and mortality. Many dengue incidence rates make the application of the DHF prevention program by applying the theory of the Health Belief Model (HBM) as a prevention effort that can change the behavior of healthy and clean living. This HBM consists of four components: perceived susceptibility, perceived severity, perceived benefits, perceived barriers, and cues to action. Based on the results of the study, it was conducted from 16 November - 12 December 2020. This research used a Quasi-experimental research design with the One Group Pre Post-test design approach with a sample of Ngrancah Hamlet RT 25 RW 8 Senggreng Village residents using a total sampling technique. The analysis technique of this research is using univariate analysis. The results of this study indicate that the health belief model theory indicators in the DHF prevention program are close to a maximum value, namely Perceived Susceptibility with a mean value of 17.30, perceived severity with a mean value of 15.80, perceived benefits of 15.80, perceived barrier 16.70, and cues. To act with a mean value of 17.30. This study concludes that these results are expected to increase awareness for healthy and clean behavior in preventing DHF.

Objectives: The aim of this study was to explore the components of the Health Belief Model (HBM) in order to predict medication adherence in patients with HIV. Method: A correlational study was conducted with 150 HIV positive patients including 109 men and 36 women with a mean age of 33. The data was collected in between March 2019 – May2019 from Jinnah Hospital Lahore. Those patients who were in between 18 to 55 years of age and taking antiretroviral therapy from atleast last three months were taken for the study. However those patients who were above age 55, and not taking antiretroviral therapy were not included in the study. They assessed through Urdu translated questionnaire of AIDS health belief scale (HBS), cues to action, and adherence determination questionnaire (ADQ). SPSS version 22 was used for data analysis. Results: The perceived severity and perceived cost significantly positively predicted medication adherence. However, other variables of the HBM model was not helpful to understand the medication adherence in the research participants. Conclusion: Perceived severity and perceived cost predicted the medication adherence in the studied sample. On the other hand these results also indicate that there is a need to introduce awareness campaign which will reflect on the importance of taking regular mediaction by HIV patients.

This historical cohort study investigated whether dimensions of the expanded Health Belief Model (HBM), the theoretical framework most applicable to the Women's Center Jamaica Foundation (WCJF) Program for Adolescent Mothers, can be applied to predict the occurrence of repeat pregnancies among teen mothers. A random sample ( n = 260) of primiparous Jamaican adolescent mothers 16 years and under who gave birth in 1994 in the parishes of Kingston & St. Andrew, St. Catherine, and Manchester was selected from vital records and interviewed in 1998 for this study. Multivariate analyses indicated that in addition to WCJF program participation, perceived severity, perceived susceptibility, and perceived benefits were significant ( p < .05) independent predictors of repeat pregnancy. We recommend the HBM as a useful tool to identify participants who are more likely to experience one or more repeat pregnancies.

Abstract Background: Crimean-Congo hemorrhagic fever (CCHF) is an acute, feverous disease that is caused by tick bites or humans’ direct contact with the blood and tissues of infected livestock and humans. The transmission of the disease is also possible via human-to-human contacts and nosocomial transmission is well described. The majority of patients suffering from this disease are slaughterhouse workers (including butchers), farmers, veterinarians and hospital staff. Thus, this study aimed to investigate the health behaviors of butchers regarding CCHF and study factors affecting such behaviors based on the health belief model.Methods: This is a descriptive cross-sectional study conducted on 500 butchers in Ardabil Province in 2020 by a multistage sampling method. The participants of the study completed the researcher-made questionnaire of health belief model and health behaviors model relevant to CCHF. The collected data were then analyzed by descriptive statistical tests and linear regression analysis. Results: The mean (SD) age of the participants was 44.4 (10.5) years, and 96% were males. Only 11.1% of the participants displayed acceptable disease-preventive behaviors. The validity and reliability of the developed questionnaire were confirmed. The results of the exploratory factor analysis showed that the constructs of the model explained 84% of the total variance. The results of the study revealed that among the variables of the health belief model, perceived susceptibility (p-value = 0.006, β = 0.152) and perceived barriers (p-value = 0.023, β = 0.14) were the strongest factors predicting disease-preventive behaviors regarding CCHF.Conclusion: The results of the study showed that the health belief model can predict preventive behaviors for CCHF. Therefore, designing and executing interventions based on the results of this study may encourage such preventive behaviors in butchers.

Aim: The purpose of this examination is determining predictors to oral health behaviors predict in Iranian students in district 1 Tehran based on the health belief model with added commitment to plan construct. Methods: This cross-sectional study were randomly selected conducted on 351 eligible four grade female students in the first district of Tehran, Iran in 2017. The random Multi‑stage random cluster sampling method was used to recruit students. The inclusion criteria were being graded, four female students (aged 9-11 years), or education at the fourth grade of one of the elementary schools studied in the first district of Tehran and, The health of the student from a physical and psychological of view. Logistic regression analysis was used to identify the variables that predict oral health behaviors. To assess the predictors of oral health behaviors, all the expanded Health Belief Model constructs with the construct of &ldquo;Commitment to Plan of Action&rdquo; from &ldquo;Health Promotion Model were examined as risk factors to see if they influence on the probability of brushing behavior and dental floss behavior occurrence and were interpreted through odds ratio (OR). SPSS version 19 was used to analyze the data. Results: Totally 308 four grade female students with mean age of 9.32 &plusmn; 0.81 years old took part in the study. The total 31.8% of the students reported that they were brushing behavior less than twice a day and 55.2% students claimed, use of dental floss behavior once a week or less than once a day. The results indicated that perceived self-efficacy (OR=1.46, 95% CI=0.57-3.78, P&lt;0.001), Commitment to plan (OR=1.13, 95% CI=1.04-1.23, P&lt;0.001) and Cues to action (OR=1.42, 95% CI=1.14&ndash;1.76, P=0.002) were the significant predicting variables which is the key factor of brushing twice a day, and use of dental floss once a day or more (OR=1.02, 95% CI=0.23-3.53, P=0.003). Conclusion: This study has shown the effectiveness of the health belief model with added commitment to plan construct to predict oral health behavior in female students. So, it seems that the model as a framework for designing training programs to improve students to improve oral health behavior can be used.
