We evaluated the associations between health belief model (HBM) constructs and adherence to COVID-19 public health recommendations (PHR) among 433 Black/African Americans (AA) in the US. We found that participants’ perceived severity, perceived benefits, and perceived barriers were posi- tively associated with PHR (p<.01), and the variables accounted for 25% of the variance. Factors such as worrying about health and worrying about living conditions were associated with participants’ anxiety and depressive symptoms (p<.01) accounting for 12.6 and 9.2% of the variance respectively. HBM con- structs could be used to develop an intervention to encourage adherence to COVID-19 PHR among AA.

ABSTRAK Proses menua sering dikaitkan dengan insiden penyakit kronik seiring dengan penurunan kondisi fisik, psikologis, maupun sosial serta berkurangnya daya tahan tubuh dalam menghadapi pengaruh luar dari ketahanan tubuhnya. Banyak permasalahan timbul dari kondisi kronis di lansia karena meningkatnya jumlah lansia. Pengontrolan maupun pencegahan menuju kondisi lebih parah dapat dilakukan melalui gaya hidup sehat. Salah satu model yang dikembangkan untuk melihat faktor-faktor yang mempengaruhi tindakan seseorang untuk mencari upaya hidup sehat adalah model kepercayaan kesehatan atau Health Belief Model. Tujuan penelitian mengetahui faktor-faktor yang mempengaruhi perilaku lansia dengan penyakit kronis dalam mengatasi penyakitnya berdasarkan Health Belief Model di Puskesmas. Jenis penelitian deskriptif analitik dengan pendekatan cross sectional. Populasi dalam penelitian ini adalah lansia yang mengalami penyakit kronis di Puskesmas Bareng Kota Malang. Jumlah sampel sebanyak 76 responden. Hasil analisis menggunakan uji chi-square menunjukkan bahwa variabel perceived susceptibility, perceived severity, perceived benefits, perceived barriers yang berhubungan dengan perilaku lansia (p<0.05). Hasil model akhir analisis multivariat, variabel perceived barriers merupakan variabel yang berhubungan dengan perilaku lansia yang menderita penyakit kronis. Dukungan individu lain terhadap lansia mulai dari mereka yang tinggal bersama maupun oleh aparat penduduk setempat untuk meminimalkan atau menghilangkan rintangan mesti dilakukan agar kualitas hidup lansia dengan penyakit kronis dapat optimal.

Abstract Background: The purpose of this study was to predict safe driving behaviors among taxi drivers of Tehran based on the constructs of health belief model. Methods: This descriptive-analytical study was performed on 450 taxi drivers in Tehran using multi-stage sampling. Data were analyzed through SPSS software version 18 using Pearson correlation coefficient and multivariate regression analysis. The P <0.05 was considered statistically significant. Results: Among the constructs of health belief model, perceived severity, perceived benefits and self-efficacy, had significant and direct relationship and perceived barriers had a significant and reverse relationship with safe driving behaviors. According to the results, the constructs of health belief model predicted 17.3% of safe driving behaviors. Self-efficacy was the strongest determinant of safety behaviors (0.362 CI 0.098-0.625). Conclusions: Increasing self-efficacy, reducing perceived barriers and highlighting benefits for the purpose of accepting safe behaviors can be considered as a principle in driving education and training. Also, increasing the perceived severity of adverse outcomes of RTAs and the susceptibility to these outcomes will lead to higher levels of safe driving behaviors.

Abstract Background COVID-19 is an infectious disease caused by the new coronavirus, and its widespread epidemic has caused many deaths and health, social, and economic consequences in the world. The purpose of this study was to explain self-care behaviors against COVID-19 based on the health belief model (HBM) in pregnant women. Method The present study was conducted using a descriptive-analytical approach with the participation of 230 pregnant women referred to health centers in Urmia in 2021. The participants were selected using multi-stage random sampling. The data were collected using a valid and reliable questionnaire including participants’ demographic characteristics, the HBM items, and items relating to self-care behaviors against COVID-19. The data were analyzed using descriptive and inferential statistical methods (frequency, mean, standard deviation, Pearson correlation coefficient, and linear regression) in SPSS software (version 25). Results The results of this study showed that the rate of self-care behaviors against COVID-19 in the pregnant women participating in the present study was not very favorable. It was also shown that among the constructs of the HBM, awareness, self-efficacy, perceived barriers, and perceived severity were the most important predictors of self-care behaviors with a variance of 24% change among the pregnant women. Conclusion Awareness, self-efficacy, perceived barriers, and perceived severity were found in this study as the strongest predictors of self-care behaviors among pregnant women. The results of the study can be useful in planning educational and behavioral interventions to increase the adoption of self-care behaviors against COVID-19 and institutionalize health-promoting behaviors in women.
