 Protection motivation theory is one of the most effective theories in predicting preventive behaviors. It first emphasizes motivation and then the development of adaptive skills. This theory is used to understand and predict health intentions and behaviors that protect a person from traumatic events. Therefore, the present study aimed to assess the effectiveness of group training based on protection motivation theory in the lifestyle, negative thoughts, and dysfunctional attitudes of depressed people.

In this study, we adopted a quasi-experimental pretest-posttest control group design. The statistical population was all clients suffering from mild to moderate depression who visited the Ghaemshahr Help Center in the spring of 1402. Considering that 15-20 people are used in group training, a number of 40 people in two experimental groups and controls were selected by the available sampling method and answered the health-promoting lifestyle questionnaires of Walker and colleagues (1987), Weisman and Beck's dysfunctional attitudes by Wiseman and Beck (1978), and Kendall and Hollon's (1980) negative self-concepts. The data were analyzed by one-way analysis of variance, multivariate covariance analysis, and univariate covariance analysis. A p-value less than 0.05 was considered statistically significant.

The results of the analysis of covariance demonstrated that the mean scores of lifestyles, negative spontaneous thoughts, and ineffective attitudes in experimental and control groups had a statistically significant difference of less than 1% (P=0.01). Moreover, the post-test mean scores of negative self-inflicted thoughts and ineffective attitudes of subjects in the experimental group under self-protection motivation training decreased compared to the control group who were not under training. Furthermore, the effect size for group membership for lifestyle was equal to (Eta=0.83), for negative spontaneous thoughts, it was equal to (Eta=0.69), and for ineffective attitudes, it was equal to (Eta=0.62).

Self-protection motivation training is effective in improving lifestyle and reducing negative self-esteem and ineffective attitudes of depressed people. According to the nature of the protection motivation theory, it is suggested to be used to improve the lifestyle, negative thoughts, and ineffective attitude of depressed people.

coronavirus disease 2019 (Covid-19) is a new and contagious disease. Elderly and immunocompromised people with other underlying diseases are severely affected by Covid-19 and have higher mortality rates. This study was conducted with the aim of investigating related factors on the preventive behaviors of covid-19 in the elderly 60-75 years old in Mashhad based on the protection motivation theory. 

This cross-sectional study was conducted in 1400 on 270 elderly people aged 60-75 years covered by health care centers in Mashhad. Random sampling was done from 5 health centers in Mashhad city and according to the covered population. The desired information was collected through a researcher-made questionnaire and self-reporting. The collected data were analyzed by SPSS version 27 software

Based on the research findings, perceived self-efficacy was found to be the strongest significant predictor (P>0.001, β=0.340) of preventive behaviors against Covid-19. The highest mean related to the structure of perceived response efficiency (23.13 ± 1.99) and the lowest mean related to the fear structure (12.14 ± 3.34) were calculated. Also, the constructs of protection motivation theory predict 67% of the variance of corona prevention behaviors in the elderly.

The findings of the present study showed that by using the theory of protection motivation, it is possible to predict preventive behaviors against covid-19. According to the obtained results, the constructs of perceived sensitivity, perceived response efficiency, perceived self-efficacy and protection motivation are effective in explaining protective behaviors. By increasing knowledge, awareness and identifying disease prevention strategies, people's self-efficacy also increases and more people try to observe the desired behaviors.

Preventive behaviors are needed to reduce the transmission of the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19). One of these behaviors is the use of masks. This study aims to find the predictors of mask-wearing behavior of people in Shahrekord, Iran, based on the protection motivation theory (PMT).

In this cross-sectional study, participants were 388 citizens of Shahrekord city in 2021. The data collection tool was a researcher-made self-report tool surveying mask-wearing behaviors, designed based on the PMT model and completed online. Data were analyzed in SPSS software, version 20 using the Pearson correlation test and linear regression analysis.

The mean score of mask-wearing behavior was 66.62±17.46. The perceived self-efficacy, perceived response efficiency, and perceived reward had a statistically significant relationship with mask-wearing behavior (P=0.001). Regression analysis showed that the constructs of perceived self-efficacy (P=0.018), perceived response efficiency (P=0.038), and perceived reward (P=0.041) could significantly predict mask-using behavior, where perceived self-efficacy was the strongest predictor. These factors together predicted 0.38% of mask-wearing behavior.

The PMT model can predict mask-wearing behaviors. Therefore, the interventions based on this model are recommended to promote mask-wearing behaviors during the COVID-19 pandemic.

health workers are at risk of contracting the disease of COVID-19 and preventive behaviors play an important role in reducing the rate of infection and death from this disease. Therefore, the present study was conducted with the aim of investigating the preventive behaviors of contracting COVID-19 and its related factors using the protection motivation theory (PMT) in the hospital employees of Hamadan province. This cross-sectional descriptive study was conducted in March 2020 on 436 employees working in hospitals covered by Hamadan University of Medical Sciences who were selected by multi-stage random sampling method. The data collection tool was a questionnaire containing contextual variables and protection motivation theory constructs that were designed and psychometrically analyzed in the study of Barati et al. Data were analyzed in Stata 14 statistical software and using descriptive statistics, Pearson correlation test and linear regression. The behavior of using a mask (95.2%) was the most frequent and the continuous use of gloves and gowns (49.8%) was the least frequent among health workers. The status of protection motivation theory constructs was evaluated at a relatively favorable level. In total, the various constructs of protection motivation theory explain 42% of the variance of behavioral intention in the studied health workers. Among these, the perceived self-efficacy structure had a significant contribution in explaining the variance of the intention to perform preventive behavior by the subjects under study. Fear-inducing theories were identified as one of the effective factors in promoting preventive behaviors.

In hairdressers, for various reasons, the potential for transmission and spread of infectious diseases is high. On the other hand, adopting preventive behaviors is one of the main ways to control and prevent these diseases. Therefore, the aim of this study was to determine the predictors of preventive behaviors against the common acute respiratory viral infections based on the constructs of Extended Protection Motivation Theory among the female hairdressers in Urmia.

In the present cross-sectional study, 400 female hairdressers were entered by multi-stage sampling method. The data collection instrument was a researcher-made questionnaire containing of two sections. The first section was demographic information and the second section was questions related to the Extended Protection Motivation Theory constructs about the common acute respiratory viral infections. Data analysis was performed using SPSS 16 software.

Perceived self-efficacy (β=0.348, p<0.001), response costs (β=-0.169, p=0.002), perceived severity (β=0.168, p=0.002), protection motivation (β=0.140, p=0.041), and knowledge (β=0.124, p=0.005), respectively the most power, were predictors of preventive behaviors against the common acute respiratory viral infections. Extended Protection Motivation Theory constructs explained about 37% of the variance of preventive behaviors against the common acute respiratory viral infections among the female hairdressers in Urmia.

Constructs of perceived self-efficacy, response costs, perceived severity, protection motivation, and knowledge can be used to develop and implement educational interventions related to the promotion of preventive behaviors against the common acute respiratory viral infections among the female hairdressers in Urmia.

Objective :

The patients with myocardial ischemia gradually stop following their treatment and self-care behaviors due to high involvement with the treatment process. The present study aims to investigate the effect of an educational intervention based on the protection motivation theory (PMT) on the self-care of patients with myocardial ischemia.

Methods:

 This is a mixed-method (quantitative and qualitative) study. In the first phase, the qualitative approach using grounded theory was used. In the second phase (quantitative), a quasi-experimental study with a pre-test/post-test design and a control group was conducted. The study population included all patients with myocardial ischemia referred to the Payamabar-e-Azam Hospital in Bandar Abbas, Iran in 2020. Of whom, 82 were selected using a purposive sampling method and randomly assigned into intervention and control groups. The intervention group received the educational intervention at 6 sessions of 90 minutes. The self-care questionnaire of Miller et al. (1982) was used to collect data. The data were analyzed using MANCOVA in SPSS v. 23 software.

Results:

 The results showed that the intervention based on the PMT had significant effect on the self-care of patients (F=144.77, P<0001, eta squared=0.65) such that it led to the increase of self-care in patients.

Conclusion:

 The educational intervention based on the PMT, by relying on proper nutrition, self-care skills, increasing awareness, and relaxation exercises, can be used to increase the self-care of the patients with myocardial ischemia.

A Pap smear test is one of the most effective procedures utilized for cervical cancer (CC) screening purposes. Nevertheless, many women do not like to do such a test. The present study aimed to monitor the impact of an educational intervention developed based on the expanded Protection Motivation Theory (PMT) on CC screening behavior.

A quasi-experiment was conducted on 200 women referred to Karaj health centers, Iran. The participants were randomized into experimental and control groups. The data was collected by a Standardized questionnaire including demographic characteristics, the constructs of the PMT, and a self-administered Emotional Social- Support questionnaire (ESS). They filled the questionnaire before, after, and at 6-months follow-up. Eight educational sessions based on the model were held for the experimental group via lecture, group discussions and role play. The data were analyzed by SPSS (Ver. 24) and repeated measures ANOVA and Chi-square test.

In the pre- intervention and post-intervention stages, the mean score of perceived susceptibility from 8/07±3/28 to 11/83±1/99, perceived severity from 12/64±3/46 to 15/19± 2/85,response efficacy from 12/66±5/37 to 16/06±3/6, self-efficacy from 25/94±5/38 to 29/68±4/68,emotional social support from 27/01±7/16 to 31/46±5/76 and intention from 11/01±2/14 to 13/42±1/65 increased and this difference was statistically significant (p<0/05). The mean score of fear from 10/37±2/29 to 5/54±2/76 and response cost from 6/62±2/13 to 3/97±1/69 decreased and that was statistically significant (p<0/05). No significant difference was observed in the control group. Besides, the Pap smear test was increased after the educational intervention in the post-test and follow-up in the experimental group (p<0/05).

Based on the findings, PMT and ESS can be used as a framework for designing educational programs to promote CC screening behavior.

This research paper aimed at to study the factors in relevance to the performance of screening behavior in per diabetes based on the stimulus model of preserve from the overweight and obese personnel of Karaj education administration.

the research method of the study is descriptive-analytical one and the statistical community of survey, are including of overweight and obese personnel of Karaj education administration of without diabetes. The sampling method is accessible one and350 individuals have been selected for gathering of data from the scholar-made inventory the analysis of data performed by exploitation from analytical and descriptive statistics (t-test of regression Modell).

the results indicating that 58.6% of samples (men) and 38.3% of them women have took part in the tests. and autonomous t-test is indicating of meaningful disagreement among the overage scores of apprehension sensitivity, fear ,prepones amount, and reward in two groups of including of test and without test and three prediction variables statistically had the ability for Explanation of standard variable (apprehension sensitivity ,response mount, and reward.)The obtained level of significance for each of these variables were less than (p<0. 01) and the strongest construct of motivation theory of preservation for the prediction of possibility of screening of Pre-diabetes with the conduct of experiment of hemoglobin HbA1C has been the apprehension sensitivity.

Based on the results, it can be concluded that protection motivation theory is an appropriate framework for predicting diabetes screening behavior.

The patients with ischemic heart disease gradually stop following their treatment and self-care behaviors due to vulnerable physical conditions and high involvement in the treatment process. Therefore the present study was conducted to investigate the effect of the intervention based on protection theory on the drug complianceof the patients with ischemic heart disease.

The present study was quasi-experimental with pretest, posttest and control group design. The statistical population of the present study included the patients with ischemic heart disease at Payamabar-e-A’zam hospital in Bandar Abbas  who came there more than once in the period of March 2019 to May 2020. 16 patients with ischemic heart disease were selected through purposive sampling via paired method and randomly accommodated into experimental and control groups (each group of 8 patients). The experimental group received six ninety-minute sessions of protection motivation theory intervention during one-and-a-half months. The applied questionnaire included drug compliancequestionnaire (Morisky et.al, 2008). The data were analyzed through ANCOVA method via SPSS23 software.

The results of ANCOVA method showed that the intervention based on protection motivation theory has been effective on the drug compliancein the patients with ischemic heart disease (p<0.001) in a way that this type of intervention led to the increase of drug compliance (0.46)in these patients.

According to the findings of the present study it can be concluded that the intervention based on protection motivation theory can be used as an efficient intervention to increase drug compliance of the patients with ischemic heart disease with the emphasis on teaching correct nutrition, self-care skills, increasing awareness, and relaxation exercises.

COVID-19 is one of the most dangerous pandemics of the 21st century, which has caused disease in humans and has had various consequences for humans. One of the most at-risk groups are bank employees. Therefore, this study was conducted to investigate the predictors of protective behaviors against COVID-19 in bank employees of Sirjan.

This descriptive-analytical cross-sectional study was conducted in 2020 in Sirjan. The participants in this study were 280 bank employees who were selected randomly. The data collection tool was a questionnaire in three sections, including demographic information, knowledge, and questions related to the Protection Motivation Theory, which was self administered. After collecting the data, descriptive tests (frequency and percentage), Pearson correlation and linear regression were used to analyze the data in SPSS 23.

The mean age of participants was 41.6±2.16 years. The results of correlation coefficients showed that there was a significant correlation between perceived susceptibilityand perceived severity. However, it should be noted that there were positive correlations between protection motivation with perceived susceptibility (r = .414, P <0.001), perceived severity (r = .354, P <0.001), response efficiency(r =. 411, P <0.001), self-efficacy (r = .508, P <0.001), and fear (r = .484, P <0.001),; and negative correlations between response costwith rewards (r = -. 104, P = <0.05) and response cost(r = -. 237, P = 0.002) . According to the linear regression test, 0.585 percent of protection motivation was predicted by perceived susceptibility and severity, response efficiency, self-efficacy, fear, among which the role of perceived fear (β = 0.28) was stronger than other variables.

The results of this study showed the effectiveness of the application of the protection motivation theory in predicting the behaviors for preventingCOVID-19. Therefore, these structures, especially the perceived fear structure can be used in the development of educational programs and intervention techniques to change the attitude and behavior of bank employees.
