Keywords:
Health Belief Model, Infection Prevention Behaviors, Pulmonary TuberculosisAbstract
This research aimed to examine the effects of a health belief model program on promoting infection prevention behaviors among pulmonary tuberculosis patients. A quasi-experimental research design with a one-group pretest-posttest was employed. The sample consisted of 25 pulmonary tuberculosis patients registered for treatment at the tuberculosis clinic of Phichai Hospital. The research instruments included a questionnaire and a program applying the health belief model and social support. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics and paired t-tests.
The results showed that after the experiment, the sample group had significantly higher mean scores in tuberculosis knowledge, health belief model constructs, and tuberculosis infection prevention behaviors compared to before the experiment (p < 0.05). Significant increases were observed in perceived susceptibility, perceived severity, perceived benefits, and perceived barriers to tuberculosis infection prevention. Additionally, the consistency of tuberculosis medication adherence increased from 84.0% to 100.0%. The health belief model program was effective in promoting infection-prevention behaviors among pulmonary tuberculosis patients.
