Read More BACKGROUND: Human papillomavirus (HPV) is the most common sexually transmitted infection and causes more than 90% of cervical cancers. The highest rate of infection occurs between the ages of 18 and 28. This study aimed to determine the effect of education based on the theory of planned behavior (TPB) on the intention of vaccination against HPV in female students.MATERIALS AND METHODS: This controlled educational trial study was performed on 72 female students aged 18–26 years of Mashhad University of Medical Sciences by random assignment to intervention and control groups. For random assignment in the intervention and control groups, random blocking with four blocks was performed using a random number table with a ratio of 1:1. Data collection tools included demographic questionnaire, awareness about HPV vaccination, and TPB theory constructs. The control group was received the university routine training. The intervention group was received the virtual group training in four sessions, 60–90 min at weekly intervals and with educational content including TPB constructs on HPV vaccination with the method of lecture training, group discussion, questions and answers, and presentation of training package. Questionnaires were completed before, instantly, and 1 month after the educational intervention. Data were analyzed using the Chi‑square test, Fisher’s exact, t‑test, Mann–Whitney test, and Friedman test.RESULTS: The mean age of students was 18.9 ± 1.1 years. The intervention and control groups were homogeneous in terms of demographic characteristics (P > 0.05). Before the intervention, the mean score of model constructs did not show a statistically significant difference between the two groups (P > 0.05), but after the intervention, in the intervention group, mean scores of attitude, subjective norms, perceived behavioral control, and behavioral intention in the intervention group was significantly higher than the control group (P < 0.001). In the intervention group, the difference in the mean score of HPV vaccination intention instantly (P < 0.001) and 1 month (P < 0.001) after the intervention significantly increased.CONCLUSION: TPB‑based education was effective in increasing attitudes, subjective norms, and perceived behavioral control and the intention to vaccinate against HPV in the female students of Mashhad University of Medical Sciences. Therefore, it is suggested that the present educational intervention be widely used to educate female students.

Read More BACKGROUND: Osteoporosis is mainly characterized by a low bone mineral density and a sharparchitectural and biomechanical deterioration in bone tissue required to maintain bone homeostasis.The theory of planned behavior (TPB) can be considered as one of the leading theories when designingan evidence‑based intervention. This study was carried out based on the TPB to determine the effectof an educational intervention aimed at mothers on the prevention of osteoporosis in female students.MATERIALS AND METHODS: A total of seventy mothers of lower secondary school studentsin Tehran, Iran, participated in this experimental study which was conducted in 2019–2020. Theparticipants were randomly assigned to two groups, namely experimental and control groups. Basedon the TPB, a demographic and a researcher‑made questionnaire consisting of five sections wereused in order to collect data. The validity and reliability of the questionnaires were confirmed beforedata collection. Four 45–60 min training programs were delivered to the subjects using the TPB.Data were collected before, immediately after, and 1 month following the training program. Finally,IBM SPSS Statistics 21 was used for statistical analysis.RESULTS: No significant difference was observed in terms of attitude, subjective norms, perceivedbehavioral control, behavioral intention, and osteoporosis prevention‑related behavior between theexperimental and control groups before proceeding with the intervention (P > 0.05). However, themean scores of attitude, subjective norms, perceived behavioral control, behavioral intention, andbehavior were significantly higher in the experimental group compared to those of the control groupfollowing the educational intervention (P < 0.05).CONCLUSION: It can be concluded that such interventions based on the TPB can, in fact, produce asignificant effect on osteoporosis prevention‑related behaviors. Thus, it can serve as a useful modelfor planning educational interventions.

Read More BACKGROUND: Empowerment is an essential issue in women’s lives. Powerful women can actsuccessfully in health‑related issues more than others. This study aimed to determine the effectivenessof an educational intervention designed based on theory of planned behavior (TPB) on health careempowerment among married women in reproductive age.METHODS: This randomized controlled trial was carried out among 488 reproductive‑age womenbetween 2018 and 2019 in Tehran, Iran. Participants were recruited using randomized clustersampling and divided into intervention (n = 243) and control (n = 245) groups by random allocation.Data were collected using a self‑administered researcher‑made questionnaire based on TPB andHealth Care Empowerment Questionnaire. Validity (content validity index = 0.87; content validityratio = 0.89) and reliability of the questionnaires were confirmed ( = 0.96). Intervention wasimplemented within four sessions (lasting 60 min) using eight health related scenarios based onTPB constructs. Baseline and post intervention data (6 months after the intervention) were analyzedby SPSS25 (Inc., Chicago, IL, USA) using independent t‑test, Chi‑squared test, Fisher’s Exact test,Mann–Whitney, path analysis, and regression of generalized estimating equation model. P < 0.05was considered statistically significant.RESULTS: Results showed the mean ± standard deviation age of the participants was 33.6 ± 7.1.Six months after the intervention, a significant difference was highlighted in health care empowermentdomains as well as behavioral intention, attitude toward behavior, subjective norms, and perceivedbehavioral control (P < 0.001) between intervention and control groups.CONCLUSION: TPB‑based educational intervention can significantly improve women’s perceptionabout health care empowerment. Tailoring and implementation of TPB‑based intervention by healthpolicy makers and health care providers is suggested to achieve better perception of empowermenttoward receiving health care among women.

Read More Background: Eating breakfast is crucial for adolescents to be healthy. It also improvesstudents’ capacity of learning and doing school homework. Although healthy habits such aseating breakfast, weight control, and regular sleep increase the lifespan in adults, the effects ofhealthy habits on school‑age children have not been studied much. The present study aimed atinvestigating the impact of an educational program based on Theory of Planned Behavior (TPB)on eating breakfast among middle school students. Materials and Methods: This interventionalstudy was conducted on sixth‑grade students in Qom City during the academic year 2012–2013.First, 97 students were randomly assigned to the experimental group and 97 other studentswere assigned to the control group. Then, a questionnaire was developed on eating breakfastby the researchers according to the TPB. A pilot study was conducted to assess the reliabilityof the questionnaire. To assess the validity of the questionnaire, advice by a panel of expertswas sought. To carry out a pre‑test, both groups answered the questions. After analyzing thepre‑test results, the required content was developed for the experimental group. Educationalmethods included delivering speech, discussion groups, pamphlets, and posters. The requirededucational content was provided for students during five sessions and for parents in one session.To determine the effect of educational intervention, a post‑test study was carried out 2 monthsafter the intervention. Collected data were analyzed using independent t‑test, χ,[2] and repeatedmeasures. Results: In the experimental group, 36.7% of students were eating breakfast at least ina day of a week, before educational intervention. After implementation of the educational program,only 32.7% of them were continuing their past habit. There was a significant difference between themean scores of attitudes, perceived behavioral control, intention, and practice of eating breakfast inthe experimental and control groups (P < 0.05), while there was no significant difference betweenthe mean scores of subjective norms afterimplementing the educational program in bothgroups (P < 0.26). Conclusion: Using the TPBimproved students’ intentions and behaviorof eating breakfast. Thus, it seems necessaryto consider all effective environmental factorson the subjective norms in the educationof healthy eating behaviors or improvingbreakfast‑eating practice among students.
