Stunting is a chronic condition that describes stunted growth due to long-term malnutrition. Incidence of stunting is caused by not optimal nutrition. The purpose of this study in general was to find the effect of the Health Belief Model theory on effort to prevent stunting in toddlers through nutritional fulfillment behavior. The research is a quantitative study with an observational method and a cross sectional approach. The sample was 243 stunting mothers. The independent variables are perceived susceptibility, severity, barriers, cues to action, perceived benefit and self efficacy. Nutritional fulfillment behavior as an intermediate variable and stunting prevention as a dependent variable. The result show that simultaneously there was an effect of variabel X on Y with a significance value of 0,000 and a large effect of 10,2%. And simultaneously shows that there is an effect of variable X and Y of Z with a significance value of 0,000 and a large effect of 12,8%. Data analysis used path analysis. Simultaneousy, there is an effect of the application of Health belief model theory on effort to prevent stunting in toddlers through nutritional fulfillment behavior.

The independent variables are perceived vulnerability, severity, barriers, cues for action, perceived benefits and self-efficacy. Adherence to taking medication in tuberculosis patients as the dependent variable. The results showed that simultaneously there was an effect of variable X on Y with a significance value of 0.000 and a large effect of 10.2%. And simultaneously it shows that there is an influence of variables X and Y with a significance value of 0.000 and a large influence of 12.8%. Data analysis using path analysis. Simultaneously there is an effect of the application of the Health Belief Model theory on adherence to taking medication in tuberculosis patients.

Penelitian Tahun 2015 di 4 wilayah di Indonesia yaitu di Nusa Tenggara Timur (NTT), Jawa Timur, Papua, dan Sulawesi Selatan terkait kebersihan saat menstruasi menemukan 67% remaja di kota dan 41% remaja di desa masih adanya perilaku negatif. Tujuan penelitian untuk mengetahui beberapa faktor yang berhubungan dengan perilaku hygiene menstruasi melalui Health Belief Model (HBM). Penelitian ini adalah penelitian kuantitatif  dengan menggunakan pendekatan cross sectional dengan sampel sebanyak 101 siswi SMPN 244 di Jakarta Utara, dianalisis secara univariat dan bivariat menggunakan chi square. Perilaku Hygiene Menstruasi baik baru dilakukan 55,4% responden. Perilaku Hygiene Menstruasi berhubungan secara signifikan dengan pengetahuan (OR=5,1), perceived threat (OR=3,9) dan perceived benefit (OR=3,3) dengan P Value < 0.005. Health Belief Model (HBM) bisa dipertimbangkan sebagai suatu pendekatan dalam upaya memperbaiki perilaku hygiene menstruasi pada remaja. Peningkatan pengetahuan direkomendasikan dengan menekankan pada ancaman penyakit yang berkaitan dengan perilaku hygiene menstruasi dan manfaat-manfaat yang langsung dirasakan oleh remaja berkenaan dengan perilaku higiene menstruasi.

Abstract Purpose:To assess ophthalmologists preparedness in such a critical period in the history of pandemics, a logical socio-psychological framework assessment using the health belief model (HBM) is essential to evaluate their risk perception, their willingness to actively participate in engaging in protective health behavior and acknowledge its benefits and their capability to perform adequate successful methods in limiting the spread of COVID-19 and overcome the barriers they might encounter while implementing such precautions.Methods:A cross-sectional study conducted in King Khaled Eye Specialist Hospital using a questionnaire-based (HBM) was distributed to 135 ophthalmologists in the institute to evaluate their risk perception on COVID-19, and determine which components of the HBM contribute to preventive health behavior related to the COVID-19 infection.Results:The questionnaire had a reasonable response rate ( 79.3%, 107 ophthalmologists including; 48 consultants, 51 fellows, and 36 residents). The study demonstrated that this model is useful and mapped how several components were significantly correlated to actions. Most significantly, perceived susceptibility was the most important predictor of action. The second most important determinant of action was the perceived benefit.Conclusion:Pandemics such as COVID-19 are more likely to happen again in the future. Explicit attention to factors influencing motivation, such as threat perception to adopt appropriate health-related behavior to limit the spread of communicable diseases, is necessary. This study has successfully represented preparedness and risk behavior perception of ophthalmologists to the novel COVID-19 pandemic in one of the largest tertiary eye hospitals in the middle east using the health belief model.

BackgroundA COVID-19 outbreak has been contained in China through effective prevention measures with the collaboration of the citizens. However, there is resistance to self-reported symptoms as required in the international student community. This study explored knowledge level and symptoms reporting behaviours toward COVID-19 among international students.MethodsAn online cross-sectional investigation was conducted among 119 international students across Heilongjiang province and questionnaires implemented through WeChat between 1 and 25 March 2020. The results were explained using descriptive Χ2 test and binary logistic regression analysis using SPSS V.20.ResultsIn total, 119 international students participated, with a response rate of 90.16%. Of the 119 respondents, 96 (80.7%) knew COVID-19 symptoms, 109 (91.6%) took cognisance of questions on the importance of the maintenance of wearing masks and 113 (95%) on questions regarding hand hygiene in the prevention of disease transmission. However, results show that there were still large gaps in knowledge about questions regarding the virus and the treatment methods (many participants incorrectly believed that the virus could be kill by drinking alcohol or smoking). In addition, more than half of the participants declared compliance with positive health behaviours, however 27.7% did not agree with vaccination (if any), and 31.1% did not agree to be quarantined after being diagnosed with COVID-19. Furthermore, 20 participants (16, 80%) expressed an inclination to deliberately withhold symptoms. Variables in the Health Belief Model showed a significant association with behavioural change.ConclusionFrom our study, we found that there is evident knowledge about COVID-19 among international students, although orientation and sensitisation are still required. Those who were aware of the benefits of reporting, the severity of COVID-19 and the legal consequences of deliberately concealing information showed a greater willingness to report; conversely, those who believed reporting is very inconvenient and feared being quarantined after reporting showed less willingness to report. A study focusing on international students’ knowledge and behaviour amid the pandemic will provide information for countries to cut off the chain of disease transmission of all variants of COVID-19.
