“…In line with the findings of other studies, constructs including perceived susceptibility and self-efficacy were good predictors for behaviors associated with obeying traffic regulations (Chen, Chiu, Chih, & Yeh, 2015;Workagegn, Kiros, & Abebe, 2015). The mean scores of perceived susceptibility and perceived severity increased after the intervention, which is consistent with the findings of several other studies (Cao et al, 2014;Farma, Jalili, Zareban, & Pour, 2014;Joshi, Beckett, & Macfarlane, 1994;Vojdani-Aram et al, 2015).The students' understanding that they could be at risk for traffic accidents raised their perceived susceptibility and led to their better adherence to behaviors associated with obeying traffic regulations.…”

Purpose: Road traffic accidents account for the biggest mortality rate in Iran and children are among the main victims of these accidents. The present study was conducted to assess the effect of an educational intervention based on the Health Belief Model on behaviors associated with obeying traffic regulations in primary school students during the academic year 2014-15 in Khorramabad, Iran. Methods:The present quasi-experimental has a pre-post-intervention design and was conducted on 106 sixthgrade primary school students selected through multi-stage sampling and divided into an intervention and a control group. The students were assessed before, a week after and two months after the intervention. Data were collected using a two-part questionnaire containing a demographic section and a section with items on the constructs of the Health Belief Model. The data obtained were then analyzed in SPSS-20. Results:The mean scores of perceived susceptibility, perceived severity, perceived benefits, perceived barriers, self-efficacy and cues to action significantly improved in the intervention group compared to the control group (P<0.01). Conclusion:An educational intervention based the Health Belief Model managed to effectively improve behaviors associated with obeying traffic regulations.

“…The immunization rate recommended by Healthy People 2010 for the population aged 65 years and older is 90% [ 28 ]. However, our results revealed that approximately 32.70% of the elderly people with disabilities were vaccinated in 2008, which is lower than the 44% influenza vaccination coverage rate for the entire general elderly population in Taiwan [ 29 ]. Unlike previous studies conducted in the United States [ 17 , 19 – 22 ], our study found that elderly people with disabilities were less likely to receive influenza immunization than those without disabilities.…”

BackgroundInfluenza immunization among elderly people with disabilities is a critical public health concern; however, few studies have examined the factors associated with vaccination rates in non-Western societies.MethodsBy linking the National Disability Registration System and health service claims dataset from the National Health Insurance program, this population-based study investigated the seasonal influenza vaccination rate among elderly people with disabilities in Taiwan (N = 283,172) in 2008. A multivariate logistic regression analysis was conducted to adjust for covariates.ResultsNationally, only 32.7% of Taiwanese elderly people with disabilities received influenza vaccination. The strongest predictor for getting vaccinated among older Taiwanese people with disabilities was their experience of receiving an influenza vaccination in the previous year (adjusted odds ratio [AOR] = 6.80, 95% confidence interval [CI]: 6.67–6.93). Frequent OPD use (AOR = 1.85, 95% CI: 1.81–1.89) and undergoing health examinations in the previous year (AOR = 1.66, 95% CI: 1.62–1.69) also showed a moderate and significant association with receiving an influenza vaccination.ConclusionsAlthough free influenza vaccination has been provided in Taiwan since 2001, influenza immunization rates among elderly people with disabilities remain low. Policy initiatives are required to address the identified factors for improving influenza immunization rates among elderly people with disabilities.

“…A variety of theoretical frameworks were used to inform the design of the questionnaires used in the studies. The most common was the Health Belief Model (HBM), which was explicitly stated as having been used to inform the questions in 22 (19.0%) studies (26,28,(30)(31)(32)(33)(34)(35)(36)(37)(38)(39)(40)(41)(42)(43)(44)(45)(46)(47)(48)(49), followed by the Theory of Planned Behaviour, which was used in 5 (4.3%) studies (50)(51)(52)(53)(54)(55). Other studies that were adapted from existing questionnaires may have implicitly been based on these or other theoretical frameworks as a consequence of having adapted from other questionnaires but did not explicitly claim the theoretical framework as a basis for their questions.…”

Background Acceptance of vaccines is an important predictor of vaccine uptake. This has public health implications as those who are not vaccinated are at a higher risk of infection from vaccine preventable diseases. We aimed to systematically review studies of parental attitudes and beliefs in childhood vaccination, with a focus on the methods used to measure hesitancy and refusal.Methods We identified and reviewed primary research studies using quantitative methods and investigating vaccine attitudes and beliefs published between January 2012 and May 2018. Studies were included if they involved a quantitative survey of the attitudes and beliefs of parents about vaccinations recommended for children. We undertook a narrative synthesis of the results with a focus on evaluating variation in the use of behavioural theories, validated survey instruments, and localisation and adaptation of questions to suit local context.Results A total of 116 studies met the inclusion criteria; 99 used a cross sectional study design, 5 used a case control study design, 4 used a pre-post study design and 8 used mixed methods study designs. Sample sizes of included studies ranged from 49 to 12,259. Thirty-six countries were represented in the included studies. The most commonly used tool was the Parent Attitudes about Childhood Vaccines (PACV) Survey. Questions eliciting vaccination attitudes and beliefs varied widely.Conclusions There was heterogeneity in the types of measures used in studies investigating attitudes and beliefs about vaccination in parents. Broader and more consistent use of validated survey instruments for measuring parental attitudes and beliefs about childhood vaccination would help to better understand localised differences in the reasons for vaccine hesitancy and refusal.
