Background:Health-care acquired infections are significant given the risks and costs they impose. All previous studies indicate a poor level of knowledge and performance among the nurses in hospital infections; as such, educating nurses can play an important role in infection control. This study aimed at evaluating the effects of the health belief model (HBM) in making nurses adopting health-care behaviors needed to control nosocomial infections (Nis).Materials and Methods:The participants of the study were 135 nurses from two hospitals in Mashhad, Iran. A self-administered questionnaire was used to collect data. The questionnaire consisted of seven parts. The intervention group received four 45 min educational programs, both in individual and collective forms. After a 2-month interval, a post-test was conducted to see whether any difference has been resulted.Results:There was a significant relationship between knowledge (P = 0.001), perceived threat (P = 0.004), perceived benefits (P = 0.001), and practices (P = 0.001) in comparing to control and experimental groups after intervention. For the experimental and control groups, the most frequent cues to action at the preintervention stage were, respectively, related to the period of studying at university and in-service classes.Conclusion:According to this study, HBM-based education can increase knowledge, perceived threat, and perceived benefits of nurses. Additionally, it can reduce perceived barriers and improve the control of NIs among nurses.

“…Increase of resistance to antimicrobial agents is now an important problem in our community and has been identified as a serious and critical issue for public health (1)(2)(3). Although effective strategies have been proposed to prevent the spread of antibiotic resistance in Iran including education of physicians and patients to use antimicrobial agents appropriately, published reports from medical centers reveal the increasing trend of antibiotic resistance in both adults and children (4)(5)(6)(7).…”

“…10 The results of the study of Ranjbar et al in Iran showed that the rate of nosocomial infection in medical units varies between 24% and 38%. 11 Among these, hand hygiene is a simple way to reduce hospital infections, prevent the spread of antimicrobial resistance, and increase patients' security, 12 and was emphasized by many studies 13,14 showing that hand hygiene in the staff could reduce infections by about 15%-30%. 15 Some studies showed poor hand hygiene in healthcare workers.…”

Background and Aims: Considering the increasing prevalence of dental services in the community and the impossibility of identifying each infected patient, hand sanitation is the most critical factor in controlling infection in these centers.Therefore, this study aimed to determine the effect of educational intervention on the hand health behavior of the staff of Tehran dentistry clinics based on the health belief model (HBM). Methods:In this quasi-experimental study in 2017, 128 employees of the health centers were selected through a multistage sampling method and they were placed in two groups of intervention and control (each 64 people). The data was collected using a questionnaire devised by the researcher. The validity and reliability of the questionnaire were determined. The questionnaire consisted of demographics, knowledge, structures of the HBM, and behavior variables. Then, the intervention was administered based on HBM-based education. Data were analyzed by SPSS16 and independent t test, χ 2 , and repeated measurement analysis of variance.Results: Before the intervention, the two intervention and control groups did not differ significantly in terms of demographic variables, mean scores of knowledge, constructs of HBM, and hand hygiene behavior (p > 0.05), while the intervention group was scored higher significantly compared to the control one after the intervention (p < 0.001). Conclusion:According to the findings, the HBM can be used as a framework for designing educational interventions to improve hand hygiene behavior to control infection in health centers.
