“…This finding is consistent with the findings of similar studies (10,31). However, Masoudiyekta et al (22), Shao et al (32), and Arli and Bakan (36) showed that self-efficacy plays a critical role in promoting cancer prevention behaviors. This difference may be due to the lack of self-confidence, awareness, or health determinants such as cultural or social issues.…”

“…The early detection of prostate cancer using PSA blood tests and timely treatment allow for the eradication of prostate cancer and the prevention of metastasis (8). The PSA screening reduces the number of men with metastatic disease by about 70% and significantly decreases costs imposed on healthcare systems by reducing complications (22). Cancer prevention and early detection are critical factors in controlling the disease and increasing patient survival.…”

Background: Prostate cancer is the second most commonly diagnosed cancer and the fifth leading cause of cancer death among men worldwide. The early detection of prostate cancer with prostate-specific antigen (PSA) increases the disease treatment in the early stages. Moreover, knowledge and screening for PSA for prostate cancer in men decreases the mortality rate. Objectives: The present study aimed to screen prostate cancer behaviors according to the Health Belief Model in Men Aged above 40 in Dezful. Methods: This cross-sectional study encompassed 120 male employees aged above 40 years working at the Dezful University of Medical Sciences in 2018. The participants were selected using a random cluster sampling method. Data collection tools were a researcher-made, three-section questionnaire with questions on demographic characteristics, awareness, Health Belief Model (HBM) constructs, and prostate cancer screening behaviors. Results: The participants’ mean age was 46.22 ± 4.56 years (ranging from 40 to 60 years). Total awareness of prostate cancer and screening behavior among men was acceptable (5.59 ± 4.13). The performance of PSA was 20.8%. There was no significant difference between the mean age and PSA (P = 0.39). In the logistic regression analysis, perceived sensitivity to prostate cancer yielded a psychological predictor of prostate cancer screening behaviors (OR = 0.92, P value = 0.01). Conclusions: The findings showed a relationship between perceived sensitivity and the frequency of PSA. Moreover, the participants’ poor knowledge and performance indicated an urgent need for formal training programs to promote their sensitivity to the significance of prostate cancer screening. Factors affecting prostate cancer screening behaviors should be included in these training programs.

“…In other words, when people realize the health advantages/ benefits of making lifestyle changes and the repercussions of not doing so, they are most likely to effect the changes. This assertion is corroborated by the report of Masoudiyekta et al [36] who used the health belief model as a basis to conduct a quasiexperimental study on how education affects breast cancer screening in women in Iran. The authors reported that proper information dissemination concerning breast cancer, its risks, and its prevention led to positive attitudes toward breast cancer screening among the women.…”

This study utilized a quantitative approach to investigate the impact of nutritional choices, quality of sleep and physical activity on the general health of staff and students at the All Saints University School of Medicine, Dominica. Seventy-seven people (14 staff members and 63 students) participated in the survey. The Nutritional Assessment Instrument of the Government of Northwest Territories was utilized to assess the nutritional choices of participants, the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI) was used to determine the quality of sleep, the International Physical Activity Questionnaire—Short Form was used to assess the physical activity while the SF-36 Questionnaire was utilized to assess the general health of participants. The mean general health of participants was 75.46 (SD = 15.44) out of a maximum of 100. Nutritional choices (r = .270, P = .018), quality of sleep (r = .387, P <.001) and physical activity (r = .237, P = .040) all had significant positive correlations with general health. A regression analysis indicated that quality of sleep (B = 13.881, p<.001) and nutritional choices (B= 10.352, p= 0.002) were the best predictors of general health while physical activity (B = 4.099, p = .063) also had a weak but non-significant positive contribution. While males had a higher mean general health compared to females, this difference was not statistically significant (P>.05). The study recommends an improvement in sleep quality, nutritional choices and physical activity and recommends, among others, the following: education of students on the need to observe good nutritional choices, quality of sleep and exercises; establishment of a cafeteria that offers healthy foods and snacks, and the creation of a Fitness Club in the University. The authors recommend that a similar study should be conducted in other institutions, especially governmental agencies and religious organizations in Dominica, as well as in other Caribbean medical universities. A further study into how nutritional choices, quality of sleep and physical activity are related to specific non-communicable diseases such as obesity, high blood pressure and diabetes mellitus in the Caribbean, using both quantitative and qualitative approaches, is also recommended.

“…It is suggested that this model is used in education and in order to change patients' health behaviors. Many studies, including Melaniani (2018) [37], Masoudiyekta (2018) [38] and Shabibi (2017) [39], also showed that the level of knowledge and the average score of the constructs of the health belief model increased after the educational intervention. Therefore, increasing awareness levels can improve the behavior of patients with type 2 diabetes to prevent foot ulcers.…”
