Research Framework

AbstractIt is known that health belief and health literacy are closely related to health behavior. But, we do not know explicitly how health belief and health literacy interact with each other and determine health behavior change under public health emergencies (PHE). Through the integration of constructs from health belief model (perceived susceptibility, severity, benefits, barriers, and self-efficacy) and diverse dimensions of health literacy (functional, interactive and critical), a research framework is proposed to examine the underlying mechanism of health behavior change during PHE. Structural equation modeling (SEM) was used to analyze 386 questionnaire data collected from Chinese university students for the research framework. The analysis results show that (1) both health belief and health literacy have significant impacts on health behavior change during PHE. However, health belief plays a mediating role which affects the health literacy's impact on health behavior; (2) while the increase of perceived severity of disease and self-efficacy promote the health behavior change, the effectiveness of perceived susceptibility on health behavior depends on the increase of perceived severity; and (3) the enhancement of interactive health literacy effectively promotes health behavior change, while functional and critical health literacy reduces the blind change. The results throw lights on health education services and provide references and factors in understanding and encouraging health behavior changes to relevant stakeholders including social media operators, practitioners, social service providers, and policy makers.

Education Practice

A problem for health education practice is how to interest people in making a health behavior change and maintain that interest throughout the behavior change process. Beliefs can provide motivational force for people to perform health behaviors. Five theories: 1) Diffusion of Innovations (DIT); 2) Health Belief Model (HBM); 3) Reasoned Action (TRA); 4) Locus of Control (LOC); and 5) Social Learning (SLT), are reviewed for motivational factors in promoting health behavior changes at each of six stages in the behavior change process: precontemplation, decision, training, initiation, and maintenance. A degree of overlap and complementariness are identified among the theories resulting in a syntheoretical model of beliefs as motivators in the behavior change process. The common emphasis among the theories on expectancies or cost-benefit calculations is highlighted, suggesting several strategies for employing these considerations in health education campaigns. The paucity of motivational ideas for promoting change among the externally controlled—late majority is noted. Further research must be conducted before these ideas should be generally implemented in practice.

BACKGROUND: Adherence with health protocols during the Coronavirus disease (COVID-19) pandemic is very important to prevent transmission. However, it is obtained that adherence with health protocols is still not optimal. The hospital environment is an area that is at high risk of transmission. AIM: The purpose of this study is to analyze the relationship between health belief and adherence with the health protocol in the patient’s family. METHODS: Quantitative research is correlated with a cross-sectional approach. The sample is the family of patients at the hospital, which was taken with simple random sampling technique as many as 100 people. Research variables include perceived susceptibility, perceived severity, perceived benefits, perceived barrier, self-efficacy, and adherence with health protocols. Data collection was using questionnaire instruments. Data analysis was using Fisher test with a significance level of 95%. RESULTS AND DISCUSSION: Fisher’s test results obtained data that there is a relationship between health belief in the dimensions of perceived susceptibility (p = 0.007), perceived severity (p = 0.027), perceived benefits (p = 0.003), perceived barriers (p = 0.021), and self-efficacy (p = 0.002) with adherence with health protocols in an effort to prevent the transmission of COVID-19. The patient’s family will be willing to implement health protocols if they have a high health belief in efforts to prevent the transmission of COVID-19. This health belief includes the belief that COVID-19 disease is easily contagious and serious; adherence will provide benefits for health. CONCLUSION: Health beliefs are significantly related to adherence with health protocols in the prevention of COVID-19 transmission in the patient’s family.

Belief Model

The aim of this study was to determine the factors influencing adherence to self-care behaviors among low health literacy hypertensive patients based on health belief model. A cross-sectional study was conducted among 152 hypertensive patients with low health literacy. Patients with limited health literacy were identified by S-TOFHLA. The data were collected using H-scale for assessing self-care behaviors and, HK-LS for assessing knowledge of hypertension. A researcher-made questionnaire was applied for collecting data of health belief model constructs. Data were analyzed by SPSS version 22 with using multiple logistic regression analyses. Perceived self-efficacy was associated with all self-care behaviors except medication regimens. There was a significant association between perceived susceptibility and adherence to both low-salt diet (OR = 3.47) and nonsmoking behavior (OR = 1.10). Individuals who had more perceived severity (OR = 1.82) had significantly greater adherence to their medication regimens. Perceived benefits and barriers were not significantly associated with either type of hypertension self-care behaviors. It seems that designing and implementation of educational programs to increase self-efficacy of patients and promote their beliefs about perceived susceptibility and severity of complications may improve self-care behaviors among low health literacy hypertensive patients.

Penelitian ini bertujuan memberikan deskripsi persepsi guru taman kanak-kanak Islam (TKI) terhadap pendidikan seksual anak usia dini berdasarkan teori Health-Belief Model (HBM). Penelitian dilakukan di TKI XYZ menggunakan pendekatan kuantitatif dengan metode kuesioner dan pendekatan kualitatif dengan metode wawancara. HBM mengandung berbagai persepsi individu yang berkaitan dengan perilaku kesehatan. Perilaku kesehatan dalam penelitian ini adalah penerapan pendidikan seksual anak usia dini. Hasil data kuantitatif menunjukkan sebagian besar guru memiliki persepsi netral dalam setiap variabel HBM yaitu 50% guru pada Perceived Susceptibility, 62.5% guru pada Perceived Severity, 62.5% guru pada Perceived Benefit, 68.75% guru pada Perceived Barrier, 62.5% guru pada Cues to Action, 81.25% guru pada Self-Efficacy, dan 56.25% guru pada Perilaku Kesehatan. Data kualitatif menunjukkan guru TKI XYZ belum melakukan Perilaku Kesehatan secara komprehensif. Informasi terkait pendidikan seksual yang disampaikan pada siswa tidak sistematis, bersifat situasional, belum merata kepada seluruh siswa, dan belum dapat di evaluasi keefektifannya. Hal ini disebabkan pemahaman guru yang kurang mengenai kekerasan seksual, perkembangan seksual, dan pendidikan seksual anak usia dini. Hambatan guru dalam menerapkan Perilaku Kesehatan adalah kemampuan diri, faktor budaya, dan persetujuan orangtua siswa. Kata Kunci: persepsi, guru, health-belief model, pendidikan seksual, anak usia dini

Theoretical Approaches

The Transtheoretical Model (TTM) is an integrative health behavior change theory that describes the process of how people change their behavior. The central organizing construct in the theory is stages of change, which are five distinct stages of readiness to change behavior, ranging from not ready to change (precontemplation), thinking about change (contemplation), preparing to change (preparation), changing (action), and maintaining the change (maintenance). Movement through the stages may be nonlinear, and cycling and recycling through the stages is viewed as a natural part of the change process. Other model constructs explain what drives individuals forward through the stages of change. Decisional balance involves a weighing of pros and cons of changing behavior, while self-efficacy involves situation-specific confidence that one can change. Increases in pros, deceases in cons, and increases in self-efficacy propel people forward through the stages of change. The processes of change are experiential and behavioral strategies that people use to change their behavior. In early stages of change, people use experiential strategies while they use behaviorally oriented strategies in later stages of change. The TTM holds significant implications for message design. Most notably, messages should be targeted and tailored to stages of change, and where possible, to other model variables as well. Studies indicate that the TTM has been successfully applied to health communication campaigns, and to a larger extent, to computer-tailored interventions to change health behavior. Meta-analyses indicate that scores of computer-tailored interventions have been efficacious, including many based upon the TTM and stages of change. New applications of the model include a focus on novel health behaviors, multiple behavior change, and advancing an understanding of message design in the context of the TTM in combination with other theoretical approaches.
