The Health Belief Model

Abstract: Alternative medicine or traditional medicine is still widely used as a treatment option, especially in dealing with fractures. A person's belief in curing a disease has a healing effect, albeit, it can also cause various complications in case of mishandling. This condition will affect health behavior related to health belief model. This study was aimed to obtain the health belief model in fracture treatment. This was a descriptive and observational study with a survey design. Data were obtained by using questionnaires. Subjects were all WKI GMIM Kalvari Parigi Tujuh as many as 230 females. The results showed that most subjects were >50 years old, had high school/vocational school education, and work as housewives. The majority of subjects chose to go to a masseuse as the initial action when they encountered fracture cases and admission to the hospital was in the third position, after the choice to consume over-the-counter drugs. Based on the health belief model, there were four aspects of perception, namely perceptions of seriousness, vulnerability, benefits, and barriers. Some of the subjects considered that: 1) fracture was not a serious disease; 2) fracture was not a threatening disease; 3) fracture treatment did not provide many benefits; and 4) there were many barriers in treating fractures. In conclusion, the public perception of fracture cases is good, but there is still room for improvement. Although the community prefers masseurs to get the initial treatment, the hospital remains a destination if the initial action is not successful.Keywords: health belief model, fractures, fracture management, traditional medicine Abstrak: Pengobatan alternatif atau pengobatan tradisional masih banyak dipakai sebagai pilihan pengobatan terutama dalam menangani fraktur. Kepercayaan seseorang dalam kesembuhan sebuah penyakit tidak hanya membawa dampak penyembuhan, tetapi dapat menyebabkan berbagai komplikasi bila terjadi kesalahan penanganan. Kondisi sakit ini akan memengaruhi perilaku kesehatan sehubungan dengan health belief model. Jenis penelitian ialahj deskriptif observasional dengan desain survei. Pengambilan data menggunakan kuesioner. Subjek penelitian ialah seluruh WKI GMIM Kalvari Parigi Tujuh.  Hasil penelitian mendapatkan 230 subjek penelitian, mayoritas berusia >50 tahun, memiliki tingkat pendidikan SMA/SMK, dan bekerja sebagai ibu rumah tangga. Mayoritas subjek penelitian memilih untuk pergi ke tukang pijat sebagai tindakan awal ketika menemui kasus fraktur dan rumah sakit menempati posisi ketiga, di bawah pilihan mengonsumsi obat warung. Berdasarkan health belief model, dilakukan pengukuran pada empat aspek persepi yaitu keseriusan, kerentanan, manfaat, serta hambatan. Didapatkan bahwa sebagian subjek menganggap bahwa: 1) fraktur bukan suatu penyakit yang serius; 2) fraktur bukan suatu penyakit yang mengancam; 3) penanganan fraktur tidak memberikan banyak manfaat; dan 4) banyak hambatan yang dihadapi untuk mengobati fraktur. Simpulan penelitian ini ialah persepsi masyarakat mengenai kasus fraktur sudah termasuk baik, tetapi masih terdapat ruang untuk peningkatan. Masyarakat lebih memilih tukang pijat untuk mendapatkan tindakan awal, namun rumah sakit tetap menjadi tujuan bila tindakan awal tidak berhasil.Kata kunci: health belief model, patah tulang, penanganan fraktur, pengobatan tradisional

The Health Belief Model

The present paper aimed to investigate the incremental validity of conscientiousness over the Health Belief Model (i.e., HBM) components in predicting students' eating habits. Using a non-experimental, longitudinal design, data from 200 Romanian students (181 females; Mage = 20.75, SDage = 3.89) were initially collected (T1). After one month (T2), the second wave of data was received from 150 students. Hierarchical regression results with eating habits from T2 as a criterion showed that self-efficacy for healthy eating was the only significant predictor for students' eating habits (β = .45, t(145) = 5.41, p < .01). Self-efficacy alone explained 27% of the variance in eating habits. Contrary to expectations, the perceived benefits of healthy eating did not correlate with the participants' eating habits. Conscientiousness did not bring additional predictive value, besides the HBM components (β = .03 , t(145) = .38, p = .70 ). These results reinforce the value of the HBM as a frame of reference for explaining eating habits in young people. From a practical standpoint, the findings suggest the need to strengthen self-efficacy in youth, which, in turn, can help them develop healthier eating habits. Limitations and other implications were further discussed.

The Health Belief Model

We examine psychological mediating mechanisms to promote ocean health among the U.S. public. Ocean acidification (OA) was chosen as the focus, as experts consider it as important as climate change with the same cause of humanity’s excessive carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions, but it is lesser known. Empathy is a multi-dimensional concept that includes cognitive and emotional aspects. Previous literature argues that environmental empathy can facilitate positive behaviors. We tested the hypothesis that empathy affects beliefs and behavioral intentions regarding ocean health using the Health Belief Model. We found that higher empathy toward ocean health led to higher perceived susceptibility and severity from OA, greater perceived benefits of CO2 emissions reduction, greater perceived barriers, and keener attention to the media. Beliefs and media attention positively influenced behavioral intentions (e.g., willingness to buy a fuel efficient car). Theoretical and practical implications regarding audience targeting and intervention design are discussed.

The Health Belief Model

This study aims to describe Facebook users’ beliefs toward physical distancing measures implemented during the Coronavirus disease (COVID-19) pandemic using the key constructs of the health belief model. A combination of rule-based filtering and manual classification methods was used to classify user comments on COVID-19 Facebook posts of three public health authorities: Centers for Disease Control and Prevention of the United States, Public Health England, and Ministry of Health, Singapore. A total of 104,304 comments were analyzed for posts published between 1 January, 2020, and 31 March, 2020, along with COVID-19 cases and deaths count data from the three countries. Findings indicate that the perceived benefits of physical distancing measures ( n = 3,463; 3.3%) was three times higher than perceived barriers ( n = 1,062; 1.0%). Perceived susceptibility to COVID-19 ( n = 2,934; 2.8%) was higher compared with perceived severity ( n = 2,081; 2.0%). Although susceptibility aspects of physical distancing were discussed more often at the start of the year, mentions on the benefits of intervention emerged stronger toward the end of the analysis period, highlighting the shift in beliefs. The health belief model is useful for understanding Facebook users’ beliefs at a basic level, and it provides a scope for further improvement.

Abstract Background The outbreak of Zika virus in Brazil in 2015 followed the arrival of chikungunya in 2014 and a long history of dengue circulation. Vital to the response to these outbreaks of mosquito-borne pathogens has been the dissemination of public health messages, including those promoted through risk communication posters. This study explores the content of a sample of posters circulated in Brazil towards the end of the Zika epidemic in 2017 and analyses their potential effectiveness in inducing behaviour change. Methods A content analysis was performed on 37 posters produced in Brazil to address outbreaks of mosquito-borne pathogens. The six variables of the Health Belief Model were used to assess the potential effectiveness of the posters to induce behaviour change. Results Three overarching key messages emerged from the posters. These included (i) the arboviruses and their outcomes, (ii) a battle against the mosquito, and (iii) a responsibility to protect and prevent. Among the six variables utilised through the Health Belief Model, cues to action were most commonly featured, whilst the perceived benefits of engaging in behaviours to prevent arbovirus transmission were the least commonly featured. Conclusions The posters largely focused on mosquito-borne transmission and the need to eliminate breeding sites, and neglected the risk of the sexual and congenital transmission of Zika and the importance of alternative preventive actions. This, we argue, may have limited the potential effectiveness of these posters to induce behaviour change.
