Introduction: The present study was designed and implemented to investigate the effect of an educational intervention based on the health belief model on the use of personal protective equipment among process industry employees.
Methods: The study involved an experimental intervention with 100 employees from various roles in a process industry. These employees were split into two groups of 50: intervention and control. Initially, data was gathered using a custom questionnaire based on the dimensions of the health belief model. The intervention group underwent a 12-session educational program over 3 months. The post-test phase took place 3 months after the educational intervention. The collected data was then analyzed using descriptive statistics, ANOVA, and independent t-test in SPSS software version 25.
Results: The participants in the intervention and control groups had an average age of 46 with a standard deviation of 3 and 38 with a standard deviation of 2, respectively. The results indicated that following the educational intervention, the average scores for awareness, perceived barriers, perceived benefits, and threats of employees were significantly higher than those of the control group (P<0.001), with respective scores of 15/45 (3/03), 22/21(2/30), 16/61(3/12).
Conclusion: Implementing the educational intervention based on the health belief model increased employees' awareness and favorable attitudes regarding using personal protective equipment.
