The aim of this study was to determine the factors influencing adherence to self-care behaviors among low health literacy hypertensive patients based on health belief model. A cross-sectional study was conducted among 152 hypertensive patients with low health literacy. Patients with limited health literacy were identified by S-TOFHLA. The data were collected using H-scale for assessing self-care behaviors and, HK-LS for assessing knowledge of hypertension. A researcher-made questionnaire was applied for collecting data of health belief model constructs. Data were analyzed by SPSS version 22 with using multiple logistic regression analyses. Perceived self-efficacy was associated with all self-care behaviors except medication regimens. There was a significant association between perceived susceptibility and adherence to both low-salt diet (OR = 3.47) and nonsmoking behavior (OR = 1.10). Individuals who had more perceived severity (OR = 1.82) had significantly greater adherence to their medication regimens. Perceived benefits and barriers were not significantly associated with either type of hypertension self-care behaviors. It seems that designing and implementation of educational programs to increase self-efficacy of patients and promote their beliefs about perceived susceptibility and severity of complications may improve self-care behaviors among low health literacy hypertensive patients.

ABSTRACT Background: In the field of health-care education, theories and models help us to explain and predict behaviors to conduct effective health-care educational programs for changing behaviors. The Health Belief Model (HBM) contains several primary concepts by which individuals evaluate themselves to take action to change their behaviors, including antenatal care uptake in pregnant women. This study aimed to examine factors affecting the use of antenatal care. Subjects and Method: A cross sectional study was carried out in Semarang, Central Java, from June to August 2020. A sample of 250 pregnant women was selected by simple random sampling. The dependent variable was antenatal care. The independent variables were attitude, knowledge, information, self-efficacy, perceived seriousness, perceived susceptibility, perceived barrier, perceived benefit, cues to action, husband support, and facilities. The data were collected by questionnaire and analyzed by a multiple logistic regression. Results: Complete antenatal care increased with strong support (OR= 38.97; 95% CI= 3.19 to 476.53; p= 0.004), high knowledge (OR= 16.44; 95% CI= 2.54 to 106.60; p= 0.003), positive attitude (OR= 29.88; 95% CI= 2.88 to 309.92; p= 0.004), high information toward antenatal care (OR= 31.42; 95% CI= 4.07 to 242.41; p= 0.001), strong self-efficacy (OR= 7.85; 95% CI= 1.50 40.99; p= 0.015), strong cues to action (OR= 11.97; 95% CI= 2.01 to 71.36; p= 0.006), high perceived seriousness (OR= 32.99; 95% CI= 3.93 to 276.98; p= 0.001), high perceived susceptibility (OR= 24.29; 95% CI= 2.50 to 235.78; p= 0.006), high perceived benefit (OR= 30.43; 95% CI= 2.99 to 308.80; p= 0.004), high perceived barrier (OR= 0.07; 95% CI= 0.01 to 0.57; p= 0.013) and complete facilities (OR= 63.52; 95% CI= 3.62 to 1115.08; p= 0.005). Conclusion: Complete antenatal care increases with strong support, high knowledge, positive attitude, high information toward antenatal care, strong self-efficacy, strong cues to action, high perceived seriousness, high perceived susceptibility, high perceived benefit, high perceived barrier and complete facilities.

The Health Belief Model

Background: Understanding the health practice of Indonesian residents and its related factors during the COVID-19 pandemic is crucial, but such association necessitates clarity. Objective: To examine the health practices of the Indonesian citizens and their correlations with knowledge and health belief model (perceived susceptibility, barriers, benefits, severity, and self-efficacy) during the COVID-19 pandemic. Methods: A community-based online cross-sectional design was employed. The study was conducted from 10 July to 30 August 2020 among 552 citizens selected using convenience sampling. Sociodemographic characteristics, knowledge, health belief model, and health practices, including wearing a mask, social distancing, and washing hands, were measured using validated questionnaires. Adjusted odds ratios (AORs) and logistic regression were employed for data analysis.Results: The adjusted AORs (95% CIs) of a good level of health practices—wearing the mask, social distancing, and washing hands—were 3.24 (1.52~6.89), 2.54 (1.47~4.39), and 2.11 (1.19~3.75), respectively, in citizens with the high level of knowledge. Interestingly, respondents with positively perceived susceptibility exhibited significantly good practice in wearing the mask (4.91; 2.34~10.31), social distancing (1.95; 1.08~3.52), and washing hands (3.99; 2.26~7.05) compared to those with negatively perceived susceptibility. In addition, perceived barriers, benefits, severity, and self-efficacy also exhibited a significantly good all variables of health practice regarding COVID-19 pandemic after adjusting for confounding variables.Conclusion: Citizens with high levels of knowledge and positive levels of the health belief model had good practice of wearing masks, social distancing, and washing hands. The outcomes of this survey could encourage health professionals, including nurses, through management practices of nursing intervention based on the health belief model during the pandemic.Funding: This study was funded by the University of Kadiri, Kediri, Indonesia (106/P.1/LP3M/XII/2020).

Penelitian ini bertujuan memberikan deskripsi persepsi guru taman kanak-kanak Islam (TKI) terhadap pendidikan seksual anak usia dini berdasarkan teori Health-Belief Model (HBM). Penelitian dilakukan di TKI XYZ menggunakan pendekatan kuantitatif dengan metode kuesioner dan pendekatan kualitatif dengan metode wawancara. HBM mengandung berbagai persepsi individu yang berkaitan dengan perilaku kesehatan. Perilaku kesehatan dalam penelitian ini adalah penerapan pendidikan seksual anak usia dini. Hasil data kuantitatif menunjukkan sebagian besar guru memiliki persepsi netral dalam setiap variabel HBM yaitu 50% guru pada Perceived Susceptibility, 62.5% guru pada Perceived Severity, 62.5% guru pada Perceived Benefit, 68.75% guru pada Perceived Barrier, 62.5% guru pada Cues to Action, 81.25% guru pada Self-Efficacy, dan 56.25% guru pada Perilaku Kesehatan. Data kualitatif menunjukkan guru TKI XYZ belum melakukan Perilaku Kesehatan secara komprehensif. Informasi terkait pendidikan seksual yang disampaikan pada siswa tidak sistematis, bersifat situasional, belum merata kepada seluruh siswa, dan belum dapat di evaluasi keefektifannya. Hal ini disebabkan pemahaman guru yang kurang mengenai kekerasan seksual, perkembangan seksual, dan pendidikan seksual anak usia dini. Hambatan guru dalam menerapkan Perilaku Kesehatan adalah kemampuan diri, faktor budaya, dan persetujuan orangtua siswa. Kata Kunci: persepsi, guru, health-belief model, pendidikan seksual, anak usia dini

Abstract Background Diabetes a chronic disease requires lifelong medical treatments and life-style adjustment. Hence, it requires dedication towards self-care behavior in multiple domains. We aimed to identify determinants of self-care behavior among patients with diabetes through Health Belief Model Perspective. Methods A cross-sectional study was conducted on 276 patients with simple random sampling technique. The level of self-care behavior on diabetic patients was measured using parameters of physical exercise, diet, medication and blood glucose. Bivariate and multivariable logistic regression analyses were conducted. Results Approximately, 119 (43.1%) of them practiced recommended self-care practices. Patients with more information performed 3 times more self-care (OR-3.07;95%CI 0.19–7.9) than less informed patients. Individuals with high income performed two times more self-care than less income (OR-2.42;95%CI 1.04–17.95). High perceived severity was 8 times more likely to performed for self-care than less perceived severity (OR-8.3,95%CI1.19-16.25). Conclusion Status of self-care practices on diabetic patients is lower than studies in other areas. Training should be focused on perceived severity of diabetes and how to overcome perceived barriers for self-care by increasing the frequency and reach out message on diabetes.
