OBJECTIVES: Health education programs are one of the most important strategies for controlling cutaneous leishmaniasis (CL) in endemic areas such as Neshabur city. This study aimed to develop and evaluate a comprehensive health education program to improve preventive behaviors for CL.
METHODS: This was an interventional study conducted on 136 high school students in Neishabur city. Data collection instruments included a demographic questionnaire and a researcher-made questionnaire based on the "Health Belief Model" and "Beliefs, Attitudes, Subjective Norms and Enabling Factors Model" constructs. The control and intervention groups completed the questionnaires before and 2 months after the intervention. The intervention was conducted in 6, 1-hour educational sessions for the intervention group students and 2, 1-hour sessions for school administrators, teachers, and students' parents.
RESULTS: There was no significant difference between the 2 groups in the pre-intervention phase. However, in the post-intervention phase, there were significant differences between the 2 groups for mean scores of knowledge, perceived susceptibility, perceived severity, perceived benefits, cues to action, self-efficacy, attitude, subjective norms, behavioral intention, enabling factors, and behavior associated with CL.
CONCLUSION: Health education program based on the "Health Belief Model" and the "Beliefs, Attitudes, Subjective Norms and Enabling Factors Model" model constructs may be a comprehensive and effective educational program to improve preventive behaviors against CL in students.
