“…In Mohammadi Zaidi et al study (30), educational intervention resulted in promotion of individuals' intention to improve their physical conditions 3 and 6 months after the intervention. In the studies by Monsali et al (39) and Allahverdipour et al (40), educational intervention based on theory of planned behavior (TPB) increases the intention of the subjects. The ndings of this study showed that educational intervention based on theory of planned behavior (TPB) resulted in the promotion of preventive behaviors from knee osteoarthritis in women over 40 in the experimental group.…”

Objectives. The purpose of this study was designed and conducted so that the educational intervention based on the theory of planned behavior be performed in order to promote preventive behaviors of knee osteoarthritis in women over 40 living in, Fars, I.R.IranMethods. This research is a quasi-experimental study. The subjects of the study were 100 women over the age of 40 who were under the coverage of Health Centers. The data collection tool was a questionnaire TPB. The educational intervention program consisted of 8 training sessions on the adoption of preventive behaviors from knee osteoarthritis based on the theory of planned behavior (TPB). Results. There was a significant difference between the experimental and control groups in terms of the scores for attitude, subjective norms, perceived control behavior, intention and behavior before and after the intervention. However, three months after the intervention, there was a significant increase in each of the constructs in the experimental, but there was no such a significant difference in the control group.Conclusion. With regard to the findings of this study, performing educational intervention based on theories and changing behavior modes particularly the TPB aiming at reducing knee osteoarthritis can lead to its morbidity reduction.

“…Therefore, INT is assumed to be an immediate predictor of behavior (Silverman et al, 2016;Cronce and Larimer, 2013). Previous empirical studies have extensively applied TPB in targeting intentions as a means to alter behaviors by designing interventions strategies to discontinue addictive behaviors (Pelling and White, 2009;Conner, 2015) in a variety of contexts such as smoking cessation (Ruslan et al, 2018;Zhao et al, 2018;Su et al, 2015), risky sexual behaviors (Moeini et al, 2016), excessive use of social network sites (Ho et al, 2017), alcohol consumption (Haydon et al, 2017), abusive relationships (Edwards et al, 2017), cyberbullying (Heirman and Walrave, 2012), internet gambling (Flack and Morris, 2015), risky sexual behaviors (Moeini et al, 2016) and the discontinuance of social media addiction (Luqman et al, 2018).…”

Purpose This study aims to examine the collective impact of awareness and knowledge about fake news, attitudes toward news verification, perceived behavioral control, subjective norms, fear of missing out (FoMO) and sadism on social media users’ intention to verify news before sharing on social media. Design/methodology/approach The current study’s conceptual framework is developed by a comprehensive literature review on social networking and the theory of planned behavior. The data for samples were collected from 400 respondents in India to test the conceptual framework using the partial least square–structural equation modeling technique. Findings The results show that awareness and knowledge, perceived behavioral control, attitudes toward news verification and FoMO are significant predictors of intention to verify news before sharing. Research limitations/implications The present study concludes implications for managers of social media companies and policy actors that want to take steps toward arresting the spread of fake news via social media. Originality/value Academic investigation on fake news sharing on social media has recently gained traction. The current work is unique because it uses the theory of planned behavior as a basis for predicting social media user’s intention to verify news before sharing on social media.

“…Organizations that aim to concentrate on both physical and psychological factors together have safer working environments at lower risk of employee mental and physical health harm, and consequently, lead to positive workplace behaviors such as work engagement and safety incident reporting [25]. Many safe behavior studies have been based upon generic safety theories and models such as the Health Belief Model [26][27][28][29], the Theory of Planned Behavior [30][31][32][33], the Risk Perception Attitude Framework [34][35][36], and Social Cognitive Theory [37][38][39]. There is also a growing literature supporting the positive effects of safety behavior interventions on safety compliance and participation, injury rates, and near misses in various high-risk industries, including the oil, gas, and petrochemical industry [40][41][42].…”

Background Unsafe worker behavior is often identified as a major cause of dangerous incidents in the petrochemical industry. Behavioral safety models provide frameworks that may help to prevent such incidents by identifying factors promoting safe or unsafe behavior. We recently conducted a qualitative study to identify factors affecting workers' unsafe behaviors in an Iranian petrochemical company. Objective The aims of this study were to (1) conduct a review of the relevant research literature between the years 2000 and 2019 to identify theoretical models proposed to explain and predict safe behavior in the workplace and (2) to select the model that best reflects our qualitative findings and other evidence about the factors influencing safe behaviors among petrochemical workers. Methods This research used mixed methods. Initially, we conducted a qualitative study of factors that Iranian petrochemical workers believed affected their safety behavior. Four themes emerged from the semistructured interviews: (1) poor direct safety management and supervision; (2) unsafe workplace conditions; (3) workers’ perceptions, skills, and training; and (4) broader organizational factors. Electronic databases, including PubMed, Embase, Scopus, Google Scholar, EBSCOhost, and Science Direct, were then searched for eligible studies on models to explain and predict safe behaviors, which were published between the years 2000 and 2019. Medical subject headings were used as the primary analytical element. Medical subject headings and subheadings were then extracted from the literature. One researcher conducted the search and 3 researchers performed screening and data extraction. Then, constructs described in each study were assessed to determine which were the most consistent with themes derived from our qualitative analysis. Results A total of 2032 publications were found using the search strategy. Of these, 142 studies were assessed and 28 studies met the inclusion criteria and were included in the review. The themes identified in the qualitative study most closely matched 3 scales included in Wu et al's model that measured safety behavior and performance, safety leadership, and safety climate in petrochemical industries. Poor direct safety management and supervision matched with safety leadership and its subscales; unsafe workplace conditions matched with safety climate and its subscales; workers' perceptions, skills, and training matched with safety performance and its subscales; and broader organizational factors matched with some subscales of the model. Conclusions This is the first literature review to identify models intended to explain and predict safe behavior and select the model most consistent with themes elicited from a qualitative study. Our results showed that effective safety leadership and management and safety climate and culture systems are the most frequently identified factors affecting safe behaviors in the petrochemical industry. These results can further help safety researchers and professionals design effective behavior-based safety interventions, which can have a more sustainable and persistent impact on workers’ safety behaviors.
