AimsOral problems, particularly dental caries, are among prevalent health problems across the world that normally initiate in adolescence. This study aimed to determine oral healthrelated factors based on the health belief model among 10th to 12th-grade students in Kashan.Instrument & Methods This cross-sectional study was conducted on 180 10th to 12th-grade students living in Kashan City, Iran, in 2017-18. Using multistage sampling, students were randomly selected from schools. Then, students completed a valid and reliable researchermade questionnaire. Utilizing independent t-test, logistic regression, ANOVA, and Pearson's correlation coefficient, the collected data were analyzed by SPSS 20. Findings 50.6% of the participants brushed teeth at least once a day, 20% used dental floss once a day, and 8.3% referred to the dentist once every six months. There was a significant positive correlation between perceived self-efficacy and oral health behaviors (r=0.35; p<0.001). In addition, perceived barriers had a significant negative relationship with oral health behaviors (r=-0.30; p<0.001). However, perceived susceptibility, perceived severity, and perceived benefits had no significant correlation with oral health behaviors (p>0.05). Conclusions The health belief model has the necessary effectiveness in promoting oral health behaviors. It is suggested to utilize appropriate plans and educational interventions based on behavioral models and theories to increase self-efficacy and remove barriers to toothbrushing behavior, utilization of dental floss, and improvement of oral health in students.
Background & Aims of the Study: Nowadays, ionizing and non-ionizing radiation seems to have a vital role in all aspects of human life. However, radiations such as infrared radiation (IR) adversely affect the human visual system. This study aimed to evaluate IR exposure and occupational cataracts in the selected traditional and automatic bakeries in Qom Province, Iran. Materials and Methods: This cross-sectional study was conducted in traditional and modern bakeries with 306 workers. Demographic data were collected using a demographic questionnaire. IR measurement was done using the Hagner EC1-IR digital radiometer at the eye height and in the first and last hours of the workday. The obtained data were analyzed with statistical tests of the Chi-square, Fisher exact, 1-way ANOVA, and independent t test in SPSS software v. 20. Results: According to the obtained results, 16.1% of the workstations had a high level of exposure to IR, and 20.3% of workers were suffering from cataracts. The results showed a significant correlation between the exposure level and jobs as well as tasks and working hours (P<0.05). Also, a significant correlation was observed between the risk of cataracts and the exposure level, workstation type, age, and experience (P<0.05). However, no significant difference was observed between the type of bakeries and the risk of cataracts (P=0.59). Conclusion: Based on our findings, nearly one-sixth of the surveyed stations were higher than the standard limit in terms of IR measurement, and nearly one-fifth of workers were suffering from cataracts. The results indicated that due to the long-term exposure of bakery workers to IR, it is necessary to plan and implement effective control measures in bakeries.
Background and Objectives: Health plays a key role in today's society and is considered the core of human development. It goes without saying that health is a matter of concern to all of us, and achieving and maintaining health requires the cooperation of all organs, including the mass media. With this background in mind, the current study aimed to assess the attitude of families residing in Qom towards health-oriented TV/radio programs and how it affects their health practice. Methods:This cross-sectional descriptive study was conducted on families residing in Qom in 2018. Using multi-stage sampling and sample size formula, 310 families were randomly selected. Data collection tools included a researcher-made questionnaire on the use of health-oriented TV/radio programs, attitudes towards health-oriented TV/radio programs, and health practice. Data were analyzed in SPSS software (version 20) using independent t-test, Pearson correlation coefficient, Chi-square, ANOVA, as well as Tukey and Fisher's Least Significant Difference (LSD) post hoc tests. Results:Based on the results of the present study, 134 (43.2%) cases never used health-oriented TV/radio programs, and 90 (29%) subjects used them for less than one hour throughout the day and night. Furthermore, a significant relationship was observed between the use of health-oriented TV/radio programs with attitudes (P=0.023) and health practice (P<0.001). The study findings also pointed to a positive and significant correlation between attitudes toward the use of health-oriented TV/radio programs and their health practice (P <0.001, r=0.298). Conclusion:As evidenced by the obtained results, there is a significant relationship between the use of health-oriented TV/radio programs with attitudes and health practice. It is recommended that national media officials and television programmers, based on needs analysis, produce programs with up-to-date methods in an effort to promote the use of health-oriented TV/radio programs.
