“…Similarly, the literature regarding the effectiveness of the model in contexts of epidemics, including virus outbreaks, is scant. We found research addressing preventive behavior based on the HBM paradigm in case of seasonal influenza ( Karimi et al, 2016 ; Ahmadi Jouybari et al, 2017 ; Fall et al, 2018 ), and the H1N1 influenza ( Rezaeipandari et al, 2018 ; Zhang et al, 2019 ; Khani-jeihooni et al, 2020 ). These studies found that the HBM framework is effective in predicting preventive behavior in case of seasonal influenza, however, the predictive power of the HBM dimensions differs by context.…”

“…These studies found that the HBM framework is effective in predicting preventive behavior in case of seasonal influenza, however, the predictive power of the HBM dimensions differs by context. In Iran, the most influential predictors of preventive behavior in case of influenza were perceived susceptibility and severity, along with self-efficacy ( Ahmadi Jouybari et al, 2017 ), in France the best predictor was self-efficacy ( Fall et al, 2018 ), whereas in Canada perceived susceptibility, benefits and barriers were all strongly correlated with health behavior ( Karimi et al, 2016 ). However, each of these studies was conducted in isolation and it is not possible to determine whether the individual components were perceived in similar ways by participants ( Fischer and Karl, 2019 ).…”

Testing the Effectiveness of the Health Belief Model in Predicting Preventive Behavior During the COVID-19 Pandemic: The Case of Romania and Italy

We use a cultural psychology approach to examine the relevance of the Health Belief Model (HBM) for predicting a variety of behaviors that had been recommended by health officials during the initial stages of the COVID-19 lockdown for containing the spread of the virus and not overburdening the health system in Europe. Our study is grounded in the assumption that health behavior is activated based on locally relevant perceptions of threats, susceptibility and benefits in engaging in protective behavior, which requires careful attention to how these perceptions might be structured and activated. We assess the validity of the HBM in two European countries that have been relatively understudied, using simultaneous measurements during acute periods of infection in Romania and Italy. An online questionnaire provided a total of (N = 1863) valid answers from both countries. First, to understand individual difference patterns within and across populations, we fit a General Linear Model in which endorsement was predicted by behavior, country, their interaction, and a random effect for participants. Second, we assess the effect of demographics and health beliefs on prevention behaviors by fitting a multi-group path model across countries, in which each behavior was predicted by the observed health belief variables and demographics. Health beliefs showed stronger relationships with the recommended behaviors than demographics. Confirming previously reported relationships, self-efficacy, perceived severity, and perceived benefits were consistently related to the greater adoption of individual behaviors, whereas greater perceived barriers were related to lower adoption of health behaviors. However, we also point to important location specific effects that suggest that local norms shape protective behavior in highly contextualized ways.

“…According to Taylor et al (2006), perceived barriers are all the negative aspects an individual have to face in response to an action or overcoming predictive barriers to take an action. In HBM perceived barriers are the factors an individual has to deal with may stop them to perform advised behavior (Chin & Mansori, 2018;Karimi et al, 2016;Stutts, 2002;Sulat et al, 2018;Talsma et al, 2013;Tshuma et al, 2017) As the barriers would be low the individual's intention to perform advised behavior would be increased.…”

“…The prior researches suggested the positive relation of perceived severity and intention and mediation of intention in the relationship between perceived severity and safety behavior (X. Huang et al, 2020;Jeihooni et al, 2016;Karimi et al, 2016;Sulat et al, 2018). Previous studies suggested that health behavior intention and perceived severity are signi cantly related with each other and perceived severity positively in uence behavioral intention (Rahman et al, 2018;Dodel & Mesch 2017) proposed that belief in the health seriousness of any health, help an individual to increase tendency towards safety behavior to minimize the risk of negative health conditions (Carico et al, 2020;Darvishpour et al, 2018;Qazi et al, 2020;Rahman et al, 2018).…”

Background This study aims to measure the safety behavior of individuals’ during the pandemic of COVID-19 by integrating Health Belief Model (HBM) and behavioral theories i.e. Theory of Reasoned Action (TRA), Social Cognitive Theory (SCT) and Information-Motivation Behavioral Skills (IMB). Methods The research was conducted in education sector; data was collected from students and staff (teaching and nonteaching) of universities. Mono method was used with deductive approach. Data was collected from 780 respondents and analyzed using Smart PLS3. Results A scenario-based survey conducted online, and data was collected from 780 respondents to test the model. Data analysis was conducted by using SPSS and Smart PLS3.The results highlighted the factors that leads towards behavioral change during the pandemic times. The results highlighted the factors that leads towards behavioral change during pandemic times. Conclusions This study not only contributes into the existing literature on social marketing but also will bring the betterment in the society by measuring the safety behavior of individuals. This research may also help the health policy makers and contributes as communication guideline for individuals to follow safety behaviors which will limit the spread of COVID-19. Trial Registration: Not applicable

“…HBM has been widely used to understand behavioral change, even more often than social cognitive theory, reasoned action theory, and transtheoretical model (Sulat et al, 2018). Some of the health behaviors that have been studied using HBM include influenza prevention behavior (Karimi et al, 2016).…”

Predictors of face mask use during the COVID-19 pandemic in Indonesia: Application of the health belief model, psychological distress and health motivation

et al. 2022

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

Background: High infection rates of COVID-19 in Indonesia require attention, especially transmission and prevention behaviors. One way to lower infection rates is the use of face masks. However, people's adherence to its usage when in public is still low. This necessitates the exploration of predictors of the use of masks to increase community compliance. This study further aims to investigate the predictors of face mask use by applying the Health Belief Model, anxiety, stress, depression, and health motivation. Methods: A total of 255 respondents from Jakarta, Bandung, Tangerang, and Banten filled out an online questionnaire. Furthermore, hierarchical multiple regression was used to detect predictors associated with face mask use. Results: The results showed that the high perceived benefits and health motivation were higher in individuals who used a face mask when in public, while those who have high perceived barriers likely do not use masks. The respondent's level of psychological distress, including depression, anxiety, and stress were not associated with face mask use. Conclusions: Therefore, these findings highlight the importance of personal appraisal regarding COVID-19 and its prevention behaviors. Comfortable mask design, and emphasizing the benefits of using masks in the community improve compliance.
