“…In cross-sectional study research carried out on married women admitted to health centers in Fasa, a significant relationship was found between knowledge, abstract norm, and perceived behavioral control and screening behavior [ 30 ]. Consistent with findings of the current research, Sweeney et al [ 56 ], Sha-Mohammadi et al [ 33 ], the educational intervention increased the mean score of perceived behavioral control in the experimental group. The current research findings revealed that the mean score of subjective norms in the experimental group was significantly higher than that in the control group 6 months after the intervention.…”

“…In a research carried out by Sha-mohammadi et al, they investigated the factors affecting the doing the Pap smear test based on a combination of the theory of planned behavior and the stages of behavior change. The model structures predicted 31% of the behavioral intention variance, and most people were in the pre-thinking stage [ 33 ]. In a research carried out by Hazavehei et al on 124 women in Khomeinishahr city, educational intervention based on the health Belief model increased the knowledge score of women in the experimental group after the educational intervention [ 34 ].…”

Objective Cervical cancer is considered treatable as long as it is detected early and managed effectively. Pap smear test is a screening tool that plays an important role in the early detection, prevention and can prevent any early cervical cell changes from becoming cancer. This study aims to survey the effect of educational programs based on beliefs, subjective norms, and perceived behavior control on doing the pap-smear test in a sample of Iranian women. Materials and methods This experimental interventional study was performed on 300 women admitted to Fasa City, Fars Province, Iran health centers in 2018–2019. A questionnaire consisting of demographic information, knowledge, Health Belief Model, and Theory of Planned Behavior constructs were used to measure on doing of Pap smear test in women before and after 6 months’ educational intervention. Results The results revealed that 6 months after the intervention, 108 women (72%) in the experimental group and only 9 women (6%) in the control group received the Pap smear test. Conclusions The current research results revealed that education based on the combination of the health Belief model and theory of planned behavior might be promoting participation and an increasing rate of receiving Pap smear tests in women.

“…The finding is in line with a study conducted in Amhara region, Ethiopia 8 and a study conducted in western Iran which investigated that attitude was a predictor of intention for cervical cancer screening. 30 This indicates that targeted IEC/BCC should be conducted to create favorable attitude towards cervical cancer screening. Those women who believe that receiving cervical cancer screening helps to detect the cancerous lesion at early stage and also helps to treat and cure the cancer at early stage were more likely to have had a favorable attitude and then more intended to receive cervical cancer screening.…”

Background Cervical cancer screening is consistently effective in reducing the incidence and mortality rates associated with cervical cancer. However, very few women have received cervical cancer screening in the developing countries including Ethiopia. Therefore, this study aims to assess cervical cancer screening intention and its predictors among child bearing age women in Bahir Dar city, North-West Ethiopia. Methods A community-based cross-sectional study was conducted among 832 child bearing age women using a multistage sampling technique between March and April, 2018. Data were collected using a structured questionnaire through face-to-face interviews. Data were entered and analyzed using EpiData and SPSS version 20.0, respectively. Simple and multiple linear regression analyses were done to identify predictors of intention, and P <0.05 was used as a cutoff to determine statistical significance at multiple regressions. Results Eight hundred and thirty-two (98%) respondents participated in this study. The mean age of the participants was 31±SD 7.23 years, ranging from 18–49 years. The majority (61.4%) of the participants were married. The mean score of intention to receive cervical cancer screening was 10.5±2.03, with a minimum and maximum sore of 5 and 15, respectively. Four hundred and fifty-eight (55%) (95% CI=51.7–58.3) respondents scored above the mean score. Direct perceived behavioral control (β=0.19, P <0.001), direct subjective norm (β=0.06, P <0.001), direct attitude (β=0.15, P <0.001), and past screening experience (β=0.64, P <0.001) were found to be significant predictors of intention. Conclusion Perceived behavioral control, attitude towards the behavior, subjective norm, and past screening experience were the predictors of intention, and perceived behavioral control was the strongest predictor. Hence, behavioral change communication interventions are crucial to change their attitude and empower them to evaluate their control and normative beliefs.

“…Studies show that the most effective theory-based instructional programs are rooted in models of behavior change in which choosing an appropriate model or theory of health education is the first step in the process of education planning, and skill in choosing the best theory makes an effective educational plan (26).…”

Investigating the Effects of Instructing Mothers Using BASNEF Model on Continuing Exclusive Breastfeeding of Late- Preterm Infants

Background: According to the American academy of pediatrics, there is a high correlation between the length of exclusive breastfeeding and increased benefits of mothers and preterm infants. Evidence shows that breastfeeding support programs are effective in prolonging the lactation period, but the effect of these programs on the length of exclusive breastfeeding is not clear. Objectives: The present study aimed at evaluating the effect of education on exclusive breastfeeding continuation in mothers with late-preterm infants. Methods: In this randomized experimental study, 124 mothers of hospitalized late-preterm infants at Fatemiyeh hospital (Hamedan, Iran) were randomly assigned into 2 groups (intervention or control). The data collection instruments included a demographic questionnaire, BASNEF, and checklist for lactation visits, which were required to be completed by mothers in both groups. Moreover, weight gain in infants was measured by researchers before the treatment, and then once a month for a period of 2 months. For mothers in the intervention group, 5 sessions of breastfeeding education on BASNEF model was held during 5 consecutive days. Analyses were conducted using the SPSS 21.0; and a P value less than 0.05 was considered significant. Results: Based on the results at the end of the first-and second-month follow-up, there were statistically significant differences between the intervention and control groups in lactation performance, knowledge, attitude, subjective norm, assessment of results, and enabling factors of the mothers (P < 0.001). At the end of the first-and second-month follow-up, the difference between intervention and control mothers was statistically significant in exclusive breastfeeding continuation, in frequency of breastfeeding without the use of liquids, and feeding apart from breast milk and formula in day and night (P < 0.001). Conclusions:The results of this study revealed that breastfeeding instructional sessions were effective in encouraging mothers to continue exclusive breastfeeding the infants by breast milk; thus, it is suggested to encourage mothers to breastfeed based on the BASNEF model.
