Improving menstrual health knowledge among girls from Iran: the effectiveness of educational health belief model

ABSTRACT Menstrual health education is one of the important aspects of health education during adolescence in girls. The aim of this study was to evaluate the effectiveness of the Health Belief Model (HBM) on promoting Knowledge of menstrual health in female students of Fasa City, Fars Province, Iran. This quasi-experimental study was done on 200 high school girls (100 experimental and 100 control groups) who were selected using a random sampling method in Fasa City, Fars Province, Iran, in 2019–2020. The educational intervention for the experimental group consisted of 6 training sessions of 50–55 minutes through lectures, Q & A, group discussion, educational posters and pamphlets, videoclips, and PowerPoint. A scale of this study consisted of two parts; demographic information, and HBM constructs were used to determine the behaviors of menstrual health in two (before and 3 months after intervention) times. The mean age of students in the experimental and control groups was 13.40 ± 0.68 and 13.34 ± 0.72 years. The results showed that before the educational intervention, there was no significant difference between the experimental and control groups in terms of knowledge, perceived sensitivity, perceived severity, perceived benefits, perceived barriers, self-efficacy, cues to action and performance; however, three months after the intervention, the experimental group showed a significant increase in each of the mentioned variables except the perceived barriers. Based on the present study, education based on the health belief model structures is effective in improving Knowledge of menstrual health and this model can be used to prevent and reduce the symptoms of premenstrual syndrome.

Health Behavior Models and Regular Exercise Levels Among Workers in Taiwan.

The present study aims to examine the disparate effects of health behavior models, namely exercise self-efficacy (ESE), health belief model (HBM), and planned behavior theory (PBT), applied to clarify the degree of regular exercise among workers in Taiwan. A cross-sectional research design was adopted. A questionnaire was distributed to obtain information pertaining to regular exercise level, demographic characteristics, and the scores of ESE, HBM, and PBT. In total, 400 full-time workers voluntarily participated in this study. The results showed that only 20.5% of the participants exercised regularly, 37.3% exercised irregularly, and 42.3% did not exercise currently. "Perceived benefits" and "perceived barriers" pertaining to HBM; "attitude" and "perceived behavioral control" pertaining to PBT; and ESE were associated with regular exercise level in the multiple linear regression analyses of each health behavior model. When all three models were considered simultaneously, ESE provided the greatest explanation of the variances for regular exercise levels. PBT total made a smaller contribution in the prediction of regular exercise level, while the effect of HBM did not show statistical significance. In order to explore the practicality of moving beyond theoretical models and focusing on the components across health behavior models to enhance workers' exercise behavior, the components showing statistical significance in separate analysis were put into the multiple linear regression simultaneously. The results showed that ESE, perceived barriers of health behavior, attitude, and perceived behavioral control were significantly associated with regular exercise level. A low percentage of workers exercising regularly should be a notable issue for workplace health promotion. Neither utilizing cues to exercise nor advertising health threats of physical inactivity is sufficient to enable workers to exercise regularly. Enhancing workers' ESE and behavior control and removing the exercise barriers would constitute efficient strategies for maintaining the exercise habit of workers.

The Effect of Health Belief Model-based Education on Empowering Cardiovascular Patients for Medication Adherence

Background: Medication adherence is one of the most significant factors in optimally controlling cardiovascular disease. Objectives: The aim of this study was to determine the effect of Health Belief Model (HBM)-based education on medication adherence of cardiovascular patients. Methods: In this quasi-experimental study, participants were 45 patients discharged from CCU ward of Ali Ibn Abitalib Hospital in 2020, Rafsanjan, Iran. Participants allocated into intervention or control group by simple randomization. For five weeks, the intervention group received weekly medication adherence educational package using a mobile phone application, through the WhatsApp messenger. The control group received routine care. Data collected using demographic questionnaire and Morisky Drug Adherence scale as well as the researcher-made HBM questionnaire, before and three months after the intervention. The data were analyzed by descriptive and inferential statistics and independent samples t-test, chi-square test and repeated measures ANOVA. Results: The drug adherence scores of the patients in the intervention group (6.63 ± 1.71) significantly increased than control group (5.29 ± 1.85) three months later (P = 0.006). Moreover, the mean score of the components of the HBM included perceived benefits, perceived self-efficacy and perceived barriers were significantly increased in the intervention group (P < 0.001) Conclusions: Health Belief Model-based education through WhatsApp Messenger promote the drug adherence of cardiovascular patients, through improving self-efficacy, improving the understanding of the benefits as well as reducing perceived barriers. Therefore, utilizing this method may be a practical solution toward enhancing the drug adherence of cardiovascular patients.

Effectiveness of Health Belief Model and the Theory of Reasoned Action and Planned Behavior for Tobacco Cessation among Smokers in Chengalpattu Population: An Interventional Study

Abstract Background: Tobacco use is associated with accelerated morbidity and mortality among a wide range of populations. To find better intervention practices for tobacco users, this study was contemplated to find the effectiveness of the health belief model (HBM) and the theory of reasoned action and planned behavior (TRA-PB) in the cessation and alteration of behavior change in tobacco consumers at an individual level who are residing in the district of Chengalpattu, India. Methodology: An interventional study was conducted among 40 participants based on inclusion and exclusion criteria. These 40 participants were sorted into two groups, namely, Group A (20 members) and Group B (20 members), by simple randomization. Before the intervention, baseline scores of nicotine dependence and stages of change were assessed by the Fagerstrom Scale for Nicotine Dependence and stages of change model by questionnaires. Group A was intervened with the HBM model and Group B with the TRA-PB model. After 45 days, the post assessment of patients was done using the same methods. Data analysis and pre and post comparison between groups were assessed using paired and unpaired t tests. Results: Results showed that health education based on the HBM was effective in enhancing the knowledge and attitude of all the subjects, regardless of their sociodemographic characteristics. Conclusion: HBM and TRA-PB-based trainings were found to have positive effects on progression between the stages and smoking cessation. A model-based health education approach directed at a specific group may modify that population’s attitudes toward tobacco use.

Using education based on the health belief model to modifications in performance of behaviors related to sexually transmitted infections in vulnerable women.

Sexually transmitted infections (STIs) have always been considered as a health problem in the world. Also, vulnerable women (addicts, jail breakers, and prostitutes) are at the highest risk. According to the World Health Organization's (WHO) approach, the only effective way to prevent and control this disease is public health education, and high-risk and vulnerable groups should be prioritized in educational programs. The aim of the study was to investigate the effect of health belief model (HBM)-based education on changing the behaviors related to STIs in vulnerable women. The present study is an intervention (field trial) study in vulnerable women. Convenience sampling method was used in this study and the sample size was determined to be 84 subjects. Through tossing a coin, the social support center was selected as the intervention group and the drop-in center as the control group. Quantitative data analysis was performed, and descriptive and inferential statistical methods were used. The mean scores of perceived threat, perceived benefits, perceived barriers, and perceived self-efficacy and changes in performance between the three measurement stages, as well as changes in the scores of perceived threat, perceived benefits, perceived barriers, and perceived self-efficacy over three measurement times were significantly different between the two groups (interaction) (P < 0.001). The mean score of performance 3 months after the intervention was significantly higher than before the intervention (P = 0.001). The present study confirmed the effectiveness of the HBM in promoting behavioral modifiers that lead to STIs. Therefore, educational interventions with emphasis on understanding the threats, benefits, barriers, and self-efficacy and, ultimately, performance improvement in relation to STIs are recommended.

Health Belief Model Effect on Nurses Hand Hygiene Adherence

Healthcare acquired infections/HAIs (nosocomial infection) is a growing problem in developing and developed country around the world and one of the contributing factors in the increasing of morbidity, mortality and cost of treatment in hospital. One way to prevent HAIs is by increasing adherence of hand hygiene practice in healthcare workers, including nurses, especially in rooms with high risk of HAIs incidents. This study aims to understand the effect of health belief model (HBM) on the adherence of hand hygiene practice of nurses in rooms with high HAIs risk. A total number of 170 nurses who worked in high HAIs risk enrolled in this study. All nurses then asked to fill questionnaire which consist of demographic factors, experience, personal beliefs, cue to action, and self-efficacy. During this study, all nurses hand hygiene practice also observed directly by researcher. This study found that demographic factor, personal belief, cue to action and self-efficacy have no significant relationship with hand hygiene practice adherence (p&gt;0.05), whilst modifying factor like experience shown to have significant relationship with adherence of hand hygiene practice (p&lt;0.05). Demographic factor, personal belief, cue to action, and self-efficacy component of HBM can’t predict the adherence of hand hygiene practice. However, modifying factor in HBM such as experience can predict the adherence of hand hygiene practice.

Exercise intervention to reduce the risk of diabetic foot ulcers in diabetics with the health belief model approach

Diabetic foot ulcers are common complication in diabetics. This study aims to explore the effect of exercise on the risk of diabetic foot ulcers in diabetics using the Health Belief Model approach. One of the essential benefits of this study is to reduce the risk of developing diabetic foot ulcers, thereby reducing disability rates. The problem of diabetic foot ulcers can be prevented by implementing exercise interventions. In this experimental study, there were three groups, with 161 diabetics as respondents. Group one and group two were given different interventions, while group three was the control group. In this study, changes in the ankle-brachial index and the effect of Health Belief Model on activeness in the intervention were measured. Follow-up was done after three months of intervention. All aspects of the Health Belief Model scale were different in the three groups. Perceptions of obstacles showed the most significant difference (p=&lt;0.001). All aspects of the Health Belief Model scale also affect the activity of diabetics in doing exercise (p=0.001). The results of the ankle-brachial index measurement showed that there were differences between the three groups (p=0.019) and the  “MULDA” exercise group had the highest median value.

Effect of health belief model on flood-risk educational approach among elementary school children in Malaysia.

Worsening climatic conditions can subsequently lead to the frequent occurrence of unpredictable natural disasters. The early-life educational approach is one of the non-structural mitigations in disaster management, which are the most effective efforts to promote early-life disaster awareness and enhance the knowledge transfer in disaster risk education. By using the health belief model (HBM), this study aims to examine the effectiveness of HBM on the flood-risk reduction (FRR) educational intervention by looking into the perceived susceptibility, severity, benefit and self-efficacy among elementary school children in Malaysia. This study utilised the one-group pre-test–post-test design by recruiting 224 elementary school children in the pre-FRR educational intervention programme, and 205 who undertook a post-intervention programme a month later. This study showed that the FRR educational intervention significantly improved (p < 0.001) the overall HBM components during the post-intervention, particularly in: (1) FRR knowledge, (2) perceived susceptibility, (3) perceived severity and (4) perceived benefits. The one-way analysis of covariance test showed that knowledge transfer intervention is effective to improve all the HBM components that include (1) FRR knowledge, F(38,127) = 2.517; (2) perceived susceptibility, F(6,191) = 6.957; (3) perceived severity, F(20,163) = 2.944; (4) perceived benefits, F(25,153) = 2.342 and (5) self-efficacy, F(7,189) = 12.526. The impact of integrating HBM into knowledge transfer intervention was seen to be effective and provide a positive knowledge enhancement among learners. Therefore, it is crucial to implement a consistent and sustainable educational intervention to harness formal education for community resilience at an early age.
