“…The mean perceived barrier score was 14.14 out of 30, which was similar to the score among single women measured using the same instrument [26]. This was also consistent with the scores reported for breastfeeding and pregnant women [9,10], although these studies used a different instrument. These results show that a lower perceived barrier has a positive impact on health promoting behaviors.…”

“…The mean score for knowledge about EDCs was 15.67 out of 24, which was similar to the scores reported among nursing students [28], pregnant women [9], and mothers of infants and toddlers [22] using the same instrument. As EDCs are known to have the greatest impact on fetuses and in infancy and early childhood [29][30][31], we anticipated that mothers of children in these age groups would have a greater level of knowledge compared to university students, but there were no differences in the level of knowledge between the two groups.…”

“…Under this framework, perceived benefit, perceived disability, and self-efficacy affect behavioral outcomes [7,8]. Previous studies find that participants' knowledge about EDCs, perceived disability, and self-efficacy influence their behavior in reducing EDC exposure [4,[9][10][11]. One study that investigated health-promoting lifestyles in university students reported that perceived benefits were significantly positively correlated with healthy behaviors [12].…”

“…In addition, although perceived barriers have been identified as predictors of behaviors for reducing exposure to EDCs [9,10], there are not many studies on EDCs in the context of college students, owing to the low interest in this subject among students.…”

This study investigates the factors influencing university students’ behavior in reducing exposure to endocrine disrupting chemicals (EDCs) and the demand for related education. This study utilized a descriptive survey. Data were collected from 192 students in Busan, South Korea, from 1 September to 31 December 2020 using an online questionnaire. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics, independent t-test, one-way analysis of variance, Pearson’s correlation coefficient test, and multiple regression. A positive correlation was observed between knowledge about EDCs and perceived benefits, perceived barriers, and behavior for reducing exposure to EDCs. Perceived benefits had a negative correlation with perceived barriers. Factors affecting students’ behavior for reducing exposure to EDCs were age, enrollment in a health-related department, regular exercise, medication, and intake of healthy foods. Moreover, participants preferred to receive relevant information through a variety of educational resources and online teaching methods, favoring videos and social media, but not group discussions or individual counseling. They also preferred lecture-type education and the use of pamphlets, fliers, newspapers, and magazines. Thus, reducing EDC exposure implies encouraging regular exercise, appropriate health medications, and healthy food consumption; it is also necessary to make educational content accessible to college students via the Internet and mobile phones. Future studies should analyze the effect of reducing EDCs within the body through individual behaviors, to improve people’s physical, emotional, and socio-psychological health status.

Purpose: This study was conducted to develop a behavior program for reducing exposure to endocrine disrupting chemicals (EDCs), thereby to improve perceived benefits and self-efficacy as well as reduce the perceived barriers and prevalence of dysmenorrhea in unmarried women.Methods: The study used a nonequivalent control group pretest-posttest design. Participants were randomly assigned to an experiment (n=18) or control group (n=18). The behavior program for reducing exposure to EDCs was developed based on Pender's health promotion model and previous research results. The program was conducted for 12 weeks, consisting of 4 weeks of face-to-face intervention and 8 weeks of mobile intervention.Results: The behavior program we developed was verified as an effective intervention that could improve the perceived benefits and self-efficacy of reducing one's exposure to EDCs. It also decreases the perceived barriers and prevalence of dysmenorrhea in unmarried women.Conclusion: Our results showed that the program was an effective nursing intervention in unmarried women. Therefore, this behavior program for reducing exposure to EDCs can be applied in the context of unmarried women.

Purpose Inevitability of exposure to endocrine disrupting chemicals (EDCs) in daily lives of modern society is increasing interests in developing and implementing interventions to prevent or reduce harmful health effects of EDCs in various academic areas. This is a scoping review of intervention studies aimed at reducing exposure to EDCs in the text of human health care. Methods Scoping review methodology was used to explore the extent, range, and nature of current literature. A comprehensive systematic search of PubMed, CINAHL, Cochrane, PcycINFO, EMBASE, and RISS was performed for studies published to date. The authors followed Arksey and O’Malley’s stages; 1) identification of research questions; 2) identification of relevant studies using a total of six electronic databases; 3) study selection; 4) charting the data; and 5) collation, summarization and reporting of the data. Results A total of 2114 articles were retrieved, from which 13 articles were included in the final review. Among the 13 studies, 12 conducted interventions regarding dietary modification or replacement of household or personal goods. The duration of interventions ranged from at least three days to a maximum of six months, including six studies with a period of less than ten days. The participants were all healthy populations, eight of which were for adults, three for children or adolescents, and two for families. Outcome of the interventions were measured through concentration of EDCs in urine or/and house air. The effects of the interventions were inconsistent, with 11 studies showing significant changes of EDC concentration while no significant change was found in two studies. Conclusion The results indicate a need for randomized controlled trials, participant-centered studies promoting active participation and practices of subjects, studies specifying subgroups of participants, and studies including families as units in interventions.
