Introduction: Model of planned behavior (PBM) is a useful framework for predicting health behaviors. Adding self-efficacy construct to PBM can increase predictability of behaviors by the model. Therefore, the present research was conducted to assess the effect of educational program based on “Integrated model of planned behavior and self-efficacy” (PBSEIM) on health promotion behaviors of female workers in reproductive age .
Methods: It was an experimental research. A total of 70 women working in the Fruit roll-ups plant (35 individuals in intervention group and 35 individuals in control group) were randomly selected. Data was completed by the valid and reliable "inventory for assessment of female workers health promotion behavior" questionnaire. The questionnaire was completed once before and once after the educational intervention. Data was analyzed by descriptive and inferential statistics.
Results: The results showed that before the intervention in all domains (attitudes, subjective norms, perceived behavioral control, self-efficacy, intention and behavior), no significant difference between the intervention and control groups were observed (P≥0.05). But after the intervention, the mean scores of attitude, subjective norm, perceived behavioral control, self-efficacy, intention and behavior toward health promoting behaviors increased in the intervention group (P≤0.05). Also, the greatest mean difference was in self-efficacy construct.
Conclusion: "Integrated model of planned behavior and self-efficacy" as an acceptable model for the design of interventions to improve the health promoting behaviors of female workers is recommended.
