ABSTRACT
Background: Hepatitis B is the most common occupational disease in health care providers. It can be followed by several complications. The aim of this study was to determine the cognitive determinants of hepatitis B [HB] vaccination Acceptability among nurses based on the Health Belief Model [HBM]
Methods: This cross-sectional study was conducted among 330 nurses in educational hospitals of Kermanshah city, during 2016. Samples were randomly selected with the proportional to size among different educational hospitals in Kermanshah. A structured questionnaire was applied for collecting data and data were analyzed using SPSS software version 16 by using bivariate correlations and logistic regression statistical tests
Results: The mean age of the respondents was 30.5 years [SD: 6.62]. About, 58.5% of the participants reported to have completed [three times] vaccination of HB. Female nurses were more likely to be fully vaccinated against HB than male nurses, with adjusted odds ratio estimate of 2.507 [95% CI: 1.523-4.125] and those who had family or friends with a history of HB with odds ratio estimate of 3.706 [95% CI: 1.317-10.425], making these the most influential predictive determinants for full uptake [three time] of HB vaccination. Among the HBM variables: perceived threat with odds ratio estimate of 1.264 [95% CI: 1.160-1.376], perceived self-efficacy with odds ratio estimate of 1.179 [95% CI: 1.020-1.363], and cues to action with odds ratio estimate of 1.335 [95% CI: 1.015-1.756], were the more influential predictors of full uptake [three time] of HB vaccination
Conclusion: To development uptake vaccination programs promotion in addition to focusing on male nurses, using the results of the predictive constructs include; perceived threat perceived self-efficacy suggested. Based on our result, it seems that development and implementation of health promotion programs to increase threat about side effect of HB and self-efficacy regarding HB vaccination uptake may be usefulness of the findings to promotion of vaccination of HB
ABSTRACT
Background: One of the basic needs of behavioral scientists is access to standard questionnaires. The purpose of this study was to determine the psychometric of a theory based questionnaire about colorectal cancer screening with uptake of fecal occult blood test based on health belief model
Materials and Methods: This descriptive analytic-psychometric study was carried out among 150 individuals aged over 50 years in Kermanshah, western Iran, in winter 2016. The participants were selected by using simple random sampling allocation method in proportional to size among households aged over 50 years covered by Kermanshah health centers. Data were analyzed using SPSS software version 20
Results: The Kaiser-Meyer-Olkin [KMO] was calculated as 0.778. Three constructs of the five constructs of the health belief model including perceived benefits, perceived barriers, and perceived severity accounted to 73.27% of the variance of the hypothesized model. The reliability of the questionnaire by measuring Cronbach's alpha for constructs; perceived sensitivity, perceived severity, perceived benefits, perceived barriers, and perceived self-efficacy were 0.72, 0.78, 0.87, 0.81, and 0.70, respectively
Conclusion: The questionnaire had the obligatory validity and reliability to measure cognition related to about uptake of fecal occult blood test based on health belief model
