Abstract

Afer cardio-vascular diseases, cancers are the most important causes of mortality among the human society. Prostat cancer is one of the most common cancers and is also the second factor that causes mortality among male people afer repiratory cancer. The aim of this study was to evalute the educatonal interventon program based on Health Belief Model (HBM) on prostat cancer preventve behaviors. Materials and methods: This quasi-experimental study was carried out on 100 male teachers in Urmia, Iran. The samples were selected via multstage random sampling method. The study data was gatherd using a three-part instrument including demographic informaton, HBM constructs questonaire, and health performance questonaire. This questonnaire was completed by teachers before and 3 months afer interventon. The data was analysed using descriptve statstcs, independent and paired t-test through SPSS 20. Results: The mean age among interventon and control groups were 46.2±3.63, 45.5±3.10, respectvely. Before interventon, there was no significant difference between two groups in terms of mean scores of the model constructs and health performance (p > 0.05). Afer interventon, mean scores of perceived suceptbility, perceived severity, perceived benefits, perceived barriers, perceived self-efficacy, and health performance changed. These changes were statstcally significant among interventon and control groups (p < 0.001). Conclu sion: Educatonal interventon based on HBM was effectve on prostate cancer preventve behaviors. Therefore it is recommended that health educators use model-based instructonal plans instead of traditonal educatonal programs. Paper Type: Research Artcle.
