“…After the educational intervention, COVID-19 preventive behaviours in the intervention group increased significantly, indicating the effectiveness of the educational intervention. Similar results were also found in previous studies [ 33 , 37 , 47 , 48 ]. In the present study, the preventive behaviors were wearing a disposable face mask when leaving the house, perfectly wearing a face mask, washing hands correctly, using social networks to greet and communicate with friends and family members, compliance with social distancing when leaving the house, Counseling via internet and/ or telephone and shopping online.…”

“…The higher the perceived sensitivity, the higher the probability of adopting preventive behaviors because perceived susceptibility is considered one of the effective factors in adopting preventive behaviors [ 27 ]. While our findings were not in line with previous studies in Iran [ 28 , 29 ], they were consistent with several studies that demonstrated increased perceived susceptibility in pregnant women after intervention [ 26 , 30 – 33 ]. Considering that high perceived susceptibility is necessary to promote people’s motivation to adopt preventive health behavior, part of the educational program regarding issues such as the prevention of Covid-19 should be focused on this construct.…”

Background Pregnant women are considered one of the high-risk groups during the COVID-19 pandemic, so paying attention to preventive behaviors among them is highly important. This study aimed to examine the effect of multimedia education based on the Health Belief Model (HBM) in preventing COVID-19 among pregnant women. Methods This quasi-experimental intervention study was conducted on 120 pregnant women referring to Comprehensive Health Services Centers affiliated with East and West health centres of Ahvaz city, Iran, in 2021. Participants were divided into two control (n = 60) and intervention (n = 60) groups. A researcher-made questionnaire was used for data collection. The intervention group was given the required educational content using social networks virtually and multimedia in 12 sessions. Both groups were reinvestigated after two months. Data were analyzed using SPSS software version 24, independent t-test and paired t-test tests. Results The mean age and mean gestational age of participants were estimated at 28 years old and 18 weeks, respectively. Before the educational intervention, there was no significant difference in mean constructs of HBM. In contrast, the mean of all constructs increased significantly in the intervention group after intervention. The greatest change was related to the constructs of self-efficacy and perceived susceptibility, and the lowest change was related to the perceived barriers construct. Conclusion Our findings suggest multimedia education using the HBM to COVID-19 preventive behaviors among pregnant women can benefit behavior change.

“…Although surprised that there were no observed racial/ethnic differences in maternal and child COVID-19 vaccination intent, this could be explained by the fact that, in general, vaccination intent has been higher among postpartum women compared to pregnant women [5,42]. Prior studies have examined factors associated with maternal and/or child COVID-19 vaccination intent among pregnant people [6,17,29,31] or combined samples of pregnant and postpartum people [68,69]. However, no identifiable studies examining racial/ethnic differences in maternal and/or child COVID-19 vaccination intent nor factors associated with maternal and/or child COVID-19 vaccination intent have stratified results by maternal status (pregnant/postpartum).…”

“…The Health Belief Model (HBM) is used widely to predict COVID-19 vaccine intent in the general adult population and among parents of children aged 5 years or older [29][30][31][32]. HBM posits that individuals' decision to engage in health behavior is predicted by six constructs: perceived susceptibility, perceived severity, benefits to action, barriers to action, self-efficacy, and cues to action [33].…”

This study investigated racial/ethnic differences in pregnant and postpartum women's intentions to receive the COVID-19 vaccination (maternal COVID-19 vaccination intent) and intentions to vaccinate their children against COVID-19 (child COVID-19 vaccination intent) during the early months of the COVID-19 pandemic (April-June 2020). This study also assessed Health Belief Model constructs to examine their influence on maternal and child COVID-19 vaccination intent by race/ethnicity. This study includes 489 US pregnant and postpartum women (18-49 years) recruited via Prolific Academic to complete a 55-item cross-sectional online survey. Crude and adjusted logistic regression analyses were conducted to determine the associations between race/ethnicity, maternal COVID-19 vaccination intent, and child COVID-19 vaccination intent. Among pregnant women, the odds of maternal COVID-19 vaccination intent (aOR = 2.20, 95% CI: .862, 5.61) and child COVID-19 vaccination intent (aOR = .194, 95% CI: .066, .565) among NH Black women were statistically significantly lower than that of NH White women after adjustment for demographic, health, and health belief model variables. Among postpartum women, although some racial differences in maternal or child COVID-19 vaccination intent were observed, these differences were not statistically significant in unadjusted and adjusted models. The findings have implications for future research and interventions which should adopt a racial health equity lens and identify strategies grounded in institutional trustworthiness and systems perspectives to address racial/ethnic disparities in COVID-19 vaccination intent among pregnant and postpartum women during novel pandemics.
