“…For example, studies of Salimi et al, showed that variables of this theory could explain 64% of the variance of eating breakfast among female students. This study also showed that among SCT theory's structure, self-efficacy and social support were the significant predictors of breakfast consumption (16).…”

“…Breakfast skipping is common among Iranian students; in the study that was done on the female students of Isfahan, 52% of students didn't eat breakfast, 25% ate breakfast every day, and 23% of people were irregular in eating eat and would eat it approximately twice or less in a week (15). Furthermore, the study that was recently done on the female student of Hamadan showed that just 24% of them ate breakfast regularly (16).…”

“…Based on this theory, changes in behavior are affected from the complex interaction that called "reciprocal determinism", which happens between individual, environmental factors and especial characteristics of a behavior. This theory has been successfully employed in various nutritional behaviors such as eating snacks (22,23), fast food (24,25), and breakfast (16,26). For example, studies of Salimi et al, showed that variables of this theory could explain 64% of the variance of eating breakfast among female students.…”

Objectives: Breakfast is the most important meal of the day and plays an important role in the physical and mental health of students. Young people, especially girls, frequently skip breakfast. One of the best theories that have been used successfully in various nutritional behaviors, such as breakfast consumption, is the social cognitive theory (SCT). The purpose of this study was to investigate the effectiveness of training intervention based on (SCT) increase breakfast consumption among female students of Hamadan University of Medical Sciences. Methods: In this quasi-experimental study, 100 female students living in two dormitories of Hamadan University of Medical Sciences allocated into two groups by using cluster sampling (control = 50 / intervention = 50) in 2014. The intervention group received 3 sessions, booklet, poster, and 3 cell phone SMS reminders. Measures included the constructs of SCT and consumption of breakfast during the past week. All participants completed questionnaires before, 10 days, and 4 months after the last session. Data was analyzed using the 16 SPSS software and based on independent t-test, paired t-test, Chi-square test, and repeated measures analysis. The significance level was considered (0.05). Results: At first, there were no significant differences between groups for demographic data and outcome variables (i.e.; constructs of SCT and behavior). The results showed that interventions led to increase breakfast consumption and improve scores of social cognitive theory structures in the intervention group. Also, in both follow up assessments, the level of knowledge, outcome expectancies, social support, self-efficacy, and frequency of breakfast consumption in the intervention group significantly increased (P < 0.001) compared with the control group. However, there were no differences between the two groups in terms of outcome expectations (P = 0.750) and observational learning (P = 0.427). Conclusions: This study supports the assumption that SCT-based interventions create a significant increase in breakfast consumption. Due to the effectiveness and low cost of this intervention, it seems that the extension of this program can lead to the increase in the frequency of breakfast consumption among students.

BACKGROUND: Healthy nutrition in childhood and adolescence is important for growth and development. Breakfast is the most important meal during a day, and many studies have linked eating breakfast to good health. The aim of the present study was to evaluate the subjective norms and perceived behavioural control of Iranian teenage girls about breakfast consumption and its related factors in 2018. MATERIALS AND METHODS: In this descriptive-analytical study, 320 female students were enrolled using a multistage sampling method. Data were collected using a questionnaire, the validity and reliability of which were evaluated. Data analysis was carried out using SPSS16 software and ANOVA and t independent tests. RESULTS: There was a significant relationship between students’ sleep duration and the people with whom they eat breakfast with the Motivation to Comply (P = 0.009), (P = 0.001) and subjective norms (P = 0.004), (P = 0.001) as well as between the people with whom they eat breakfast and normative beliefs (P = 0.05). There was a significant relationship between father's job and control beliefs (P = 0.03) and perceived behavioural control (P = 0.04), between household size with perceived behavioural control (P = 0.05), between sleep duration and perceived power (P < 0.001), and perceived behavioural control (P = 0.03), between the people with whom they eat breakfast with control beliefs (P < 0.001), perceived power (P < 0.001), and perceived behavioural control (P < 0.001). CONCLUSION: Considering the importance of sleep duration for adolescent girls as well as eating breakfast with other family members, health policymakers are recommended to pay special attention to these two factors while designing educational interventions.

Background: Diabetes is a global health issue and the most prevalent chronic metabolic disease, which requires lifelong self-care behaviors. Thus, the present study was conducted with the aim of predicting the factors of self-care behaviors based on social cognitive theory in diabetic patients referred to comprehensive health service centers in Fasa. Methods: This cross-sectional research comprised 106 type 2 diabetes patients who were referred to Fasa service providers to determine the optimal solution. Outcomes were assessed using an existing demographic questionnaire, the diabetic self-care questionnaire, and a unique questionnaire to assess social cognitive theory, the validity and reliability of which were estimated. SPSS21 software with a Chi license was used for data analysis, and Spearman correlations, independent t-tests, and one-way ANOVA were performed. Results: The age range of patients was between 33 and 67 years. There was a significant relationship between gender, education, and type of treatment with self-care. According to the findings, the variables of self-efficacy ( r = 0.200), self-efficacy of overcoming obstacles ( r = 0.285), environmental factors ( r = 0.334), observational learning ability ( r = 0.148), situational perception ( r = 0.297), emotional adaptation ( r = 0.051), outcome assessment ( r = 0.114) and outcome expectation ( r = 0.082) had a positive and significant correlation with self-care behaviors. Also, the self-efficacy variable (Beta coefficient = 0.340) had the highest predictive value. Conclusion: In designing and implementing educational interventions for self-care of diabetic patients, the theory of social cognition can be used as a framework to promote and maintain public health in patients.
