Hypertension is a condition where systolic blood pressure is 140 mmHg or higher, and diastolic blood pressure is 90 mmHg or higher. Generally, hypertension patients use captopril and Amlodipin as treatment of hypertension. It is necessary to take various efforts to improve the obedience of hypertensive patients during drug therapy. One theory studies that obedience behavior is the Health Belief Model. The HBM theory covers perceived susceptibility, severity, benefits, and barrier, along with self-efficacy. To investigate factors affecting the obedience of hypertensive patients during the antihypertensive captopril and amlodipine medications treatment in the Puskesmas Pandanwangi, Malang, this study using the approach of HBM theory and instrument. Sampling was done through a purposive and accidental sampling method. The data analysis was done through multivariate analysis, which used multiple regression to determine the effecting factors based on the HBM theory on the obedience of hypertensive patients during the antihypertensive captopril and amlodipine medications therapy. Factors of HBM theory that affect the obedience of hypertensive patients are self-efficacy, perceived severity, and perceived barrier. Whereas, the unaffected factor are perceived suspectibility and perceived benefits. Overall, factors of HBM theory affect obedience.

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.

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.
