Abstract: (154 Views)
Background: Hair salons have the potential to transmit various diseases, including infectious diseases like acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS) and hepatitis B and C, that can be transmitted through blood. This study was conducted with the aim of educational intervention based on the health belief model (HBM) regarding preventive behavior against blood-borne diseases among female hairdressers in Rafsanjan City, Iran, in 2019-2020.
Methods: This semi-experimental study was conducted on 70 female hairdressers in two intervention and control groups. Data were collected using a researcher-made questionnaire designed based on the HBM. After conducting a pre-test in two groups, training sessions were held, and two months later, a post-test was conducted. The data were entered into SPSS software and analyzed using chi-square test, Fisher’s exact test, independent t-test, and paired t-test, as well as descriptive statistics.
Findings: Following the educational intervention, the intervention group's scores on the variables of knowledge (93.88 ± 0.40), perceived sensitivity (59.91 ± 0.37), perceived intensity (61.91 ± 0.37), perceived benefits (20.97 ± 0.16), cues to action (20.0 ± 0.0), and self-efficacy (24.91 ± 0.37) increased significantly (P < 0.05) and perceived barriers (11.08 ± 0.37) decreased (P > 0.05), whereas in the control group, except the variable of knowledge (P = 0.005) and the structure of perceived benefits (P = 0.04), no increase was observed in the values of the other variables and no significant difference was observed (P > 0.05). According to the findings, behavior had a significant correlation with the structures of knowledge (r = 0.57), attitude (r = 0.80), perceived sensitivity (r = 0.79), perceived intensity (r = 0.50), perceived barriers (r = 0.78), perceived benefits (r = 0.57), self-efficacy (r = 0.76), and cues to action (r = 0.68).
Conclusion: There was a significant change in the constructs of the HBM and the adoption of preventive behaviors against blood-borne diseases in the intervention group; therefore, it is suggested that this model be used in addition to routine training. Moreover, in this study, the behavior had a significant correlation with the constructs of the HBM, confirming the relationship between the constructs in this model and the adoption of preventive behaviors against contracting blood-borne diseases.
