The purpose of this study was to determine the effect of theory‑based onthe Transtheoretical Model of Behavior Change on consumption of SLT products by Merchants’Guilds in 2018.MATERIALS AND METHODS: The present quasi‑experimental research was conducted over oneintervention group. The research population consisted of all consumers of the SLT products amongthe merchants’ guilds in Chabahar City, Iran in 2018. 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. It is suggested that the structure of this model be usedto reduce high‑risk behaviors in other occupations.
