Data were gathered from 320 individuals bysimple random sampling using a valid and reliable researcher‑made questionnaire. The interventionprogram was designed based on the Transtheoretical Model of Behavior Change cognitive processesand lasted 6 months. After the intervention, the same questionnaires were administered among theparticipants. The data were analyzed by SPSS version 20 using the descriptive and analytical tests.RESULTS: In the preintervention phase, the participants’ mean scores of the cognitive processesat the precontemplation, contemplation, and preparation stages were 29.16 ± 4.63, 25.07 ± 3.84,and 12.12 ± 1.63, respectively. At the postintervention phase, mean scores of the precontemplation,contemplation, and preparation stages reached to 40.5 ± 5.96, 38.8 ± 5.03, and 35.5 ± 4.23,respectively. Furthermore, the participants’ mean sores at the action and maintenance stages were36.4 ± 4.57 and 43.3 ± 3.29, respectively. According to the ANOVA, a significant relationship wasfound between cognitive processes at the preintervention phase and stages of change (P < 0.001).CONCLUSIONS: Individuals can improve from the precontemplation, contemplation, and preparationphases to the action and maintenance stages by attending based on Transtheoretical Model ofBehavior Change educational interventions.
