[ study on the effect of physical education [II] curriculum based on BASNEF model on female students' regular physical activity in Isfahan university of medical sciences]

Due to the benefits of regular physical activity and prevalence of sedentary of physical activity among females and the potential of health education theories and models in changing behaviors, this study was designed to assess the effect of physical education [II] based on BASNEF Model on female students' regular physical activity of Isfahan university of medical sciences. All female students who registered in physical education II classes in the first semester of academic year 2007-2008, participated in this experimental intervention program [N=120]. These students were from six classes and randomly divided into two groups: experimental group [3 classes] and control group [3 classes]. The data was collected using a developed questionnaire based on BASNEF Model [contain Belief, Attitude, Subjective Norm, Enabling Factors components] as well as international physical activity questionnaire [IPAQ]. The experimental group participated in 2 months ordinary physical education program based on BASNEF Model. The control group had 2 months ordinary educational program. The data was collected in pre and post-test periods and then 2 and 4 months follow-up and analyzed using SPSS software. After intervention, the mean scores of BASNEF components were significantly high in experimental group in comparison to the control group. Also the experimental groups' participation in regular physical activity was significantly greater than the control group after 2 and 4 months prior to the interventional program. Developing physical education courses based on BASNEF model can improve regular physical activity of female students

[ effect of educational program based on BASNEF model on diabetic [Type II] eyes care in Kazemi's Clinic, [Shiraz]]

Ocular complications are the most important impediment that result from uncontrolled blood sugar among diabetics. For eye care, patients need to be educated on how to control their blood sugar and increase their behavioral preventive skills. The purpose of this study was to determine the effects of educational program based on the BASNEF [Belief, Attitude, Subjective Norm, Enabling Factors] Model on Diabetic [Type II] eye care in Nader Kazemi Clinic, Shiraz City. This is a perspective and quasi-experimental intervention study, the research population being type II diabetics, between the ages of 40 and 65 years, having had diabetes for over 5 years. During the first visit of the subjects' eyes exam, 68 of 215 patients, diagnosed with ocular complications, were eliminated from the study. Finally, 100 diabetic patients, fulfilling the inclusion criteria, participated in the study, and were randomly divided to two groups, experimental and controls. The instruments for data collecting were a questionnaire established based on the BASNEF Model, a check list related to patient practice on the basis of self reporting, a check list for recording the patients' HbA[1]c and FBS levels, and the ophthalmologist's eyes exam report as well. All groups completed the questionnaires and check lists, and ophthalmic eye examination results were documented before and three months after intervention. The patients of the experimental group participated in 6 educational session classes during the one month of intervention and again two months after, with 2 session meeting classes as the follow up of intervention. The data were collected and analyzed by SPSS computer software. Our findings indicated that mean scores of BASNEF Model variables [beliefs, attitudes, subjective norm, enabling factors] were significantly increased in the experimental group compared to the controls after intervention. Also, behavioral eye care, rate of HbA[1]c [before intervention as 8.65% after three months 7.47%] and FBS levels [before intervention 207.08, after three months 124.2] improved significantly among the experimental group, compared to control group. Applying the BASNEF Model is very effective for developing an educational program for diabetics, in order to control their blood sugar and enhancing behavioral eye care. Besides such programs, follow up education on controlling and monitoring is highly recommended

[ effect of oral health education based on health belief model in mothers who had 3-6 year old children on decreasing dental plaque index in Zanjan]

Background and Objective: high prevalence of dental disease in children is one of the essential reasons for oral health education. Use of right and correct educational pattern is a new way in health service field. The aim of this study was to determine the effect of oral health education based on health belief model for preventing carries and dental plaque on mothers who had 3-6 year old children

Materials and Methods: this quasi-experimental research was carried out on 56 mothers who had 3-6 year old children [28 women in control group and 28 in experimental group] in No 1 health center of Zanjan. The training was based on health belief model and certain behavior goals for about 60 minutes in 3 sessions. Mothers' functions were evaluated based on helping to brush the children's teeth and the number of brushing at zero and one month after the intervention time points. Finally, dental plaque was assessed based on Navy dental plaque index. Data was collected once in the first stage [before the intervention] and then in the second stage [after the intervention]

Results: mean score of all parts of health belief model in experimental group after educational intervention compared to before the intervention was increased significantly and also the mean score of all parts of health belief model was significantly increased after the intervention in experimental group comparing to control group

Conclusion: the results of this survey showed that by increasing the score of health belief model parts; including perceived susceptibility, perceived severity, perceived benefits and perceived barriers, the preventive actions of oral health is also increasing. Therefore, results of this survey confirm the efficacy of health belief model in education of oral health
