Effect of a Training Intervention Program Designed Based on Health Belief Model on Adopting Behaviors Preventing Dental Caries in Students. Iran J Health Educ Health Promot. 2018; 6 (3): 266-276 Iran J Health Educ Health Promot تملاس یاقترا و تشادهب شزومآ یشهوژپ یملع همانلصف Background and Objective: The present study aimed to determine the effects of a training intervention program based on health belief model on adopting behaviors preventing dental caries in students. Methods: This interventional semi-experimental study was conducted on 120 fifth-grade elementary school students in Sanandaj in 2017. A researcher-made questionnaire was used to collect the required data including demographic information and the constructs of the health belief model. After random assignment of the participants into control and intervention groups (60 student in each group) the primary data were collected. Then, the training intervention was performed for the intervention group. Eight weeks after the intervention, the data were analyzed by SPSS 22, independent t-test, paired t-test, and ANCOVA. Results: The results showed no significant difference between intervention and control groups in most of the constructs of the model, including perceived susceptibility (P=0.06), perceived severity (P=0.7), perceived benefits (P =0.6), self-efficacy (P =0.8), and cues to action (P =0.08). Although there was a significant difference between the two groups only in terms of perceived barriers (P=0.001), the results of ANCOVAs showed no significant difference between two groups in terms of the mean scores of the constructs of the model. Conclusion: Our finding showed that training students in elementary schools alone cannot play a significant role in adopting preventive behaviors. Hence, it is necessary to have parents, health instructors, and teachers to cooperate in health care programs to improve the adoption of dental and oral health strategies by students.
