“…It further indicated that educational intervention was effective in increasing the individual's intention for protection motivation. The idea is supported by other researchers such as Babazadeh et al [56] Khiyali et al [65], and Dehdari et al [66]. The observations of the study further indicated that individuals were more motivated to control harmful behaviors.…”

Objectives: People regularly face safety threats that are often ignored in day to day life. The knowledge and understanding of the risks posed through unhealthy activities are essential. This realization can change behavior in ways that are effective in mitigating risk. The study aimed to determine the importance of protection motivation theory in studies conducted in Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, the United Arab Emirates, Qatar, Bahrain, and Oman evaluating the safety and health concerns of people living in the region. Methods: This study reviews previous studies that analyzed social protection motivation theory constructs to analyze and improve the health and safety in these countries. Results: Several studies were identi ed, indicating that the protection motivation theory is important in motivating individuals to change behavior. Conclusion: Protection motivation theory is a useful construct to understand and mitigate risk. It can aid in developing preventive measures to enhance individual safety.

“…In other words, after conducting the educational intervention in the farmers of the intervention group, their perception that they are vulnerable to skin cancer was increased. Perceived susceptibility, in turn, as a psychosocial predictor may have an effect on conducting SCPBs ( 31 ). Therefore, it is essential to increase farmers’ knowledge about vulnerability to skin cancer.…”

Skin cancer is one of the most prevalent cancers, worldwide, which happens more among those with more sunlight exposure like farmers. The aim of this study was to explore the determinants of skin cancer preventive behaviors (SCPBs) among rural farmers using Protection Motivation Theory (PMT). In this cross-sectional study, multistage random sampling was employed to enroll 238 farmers referring to rural health houses (HH) in Chaldoran County, Iran. A valid and reliable instrument based on PMT variables was used. Significant correlations were found between all PMT variables with SCPBs (p < 0.05). Hierarchical multiple linear regressions were performed with Protection Motivation and SCPBs as outcome variables. Predictors for these two outcome variables were classified in two different blocks according to their natures. Demographic characteristics (p > 0.05) and PMT constructs (p < 0.001) explained 3 and 63.6 % of the observed variance in Protection Motivation, respectively. Also, no significant effect was found on SCPBs by demographic variables, in the first block (∆R = 0.025); however, in the second block, Perceived Susceptibility (p = 0.000), Rewards (p = 0.022), Self-efficacy (p = 0.000), and Response Cost (p = 0.001) were significant predictors of SCPBs (∆R = 0.432). Health care providers may consider PMT as a framework for developing educational interventions aiming at improving SCPBs among rural farmers.

“…For example, education regarding threat appraisal of cervical cancer and self-efficacy can significantly predict women's intention to participate in screening. 25,26 Likewise, population-based studies indicated that perceived severity can significantly predict screening uptake among women, 27 although inconsistent findings are occasionally reported. 25,28 In a previous study with cross-sectional data, we observed that perceived severity of cervical cancer was positively associated with intention to participate in cervical cancer screening, and response cost was negatively associated with participation intention among rural women in China.…”

“…Empirical studies guided by PMT provide useful data supporting the development of evidence‐based interventions to enhance uptake of cervical cancer screening. For example, education regarding threat appraisal of cervical cancer and self‐efficacy can significantly predict women's intention to participate in screening . Likewise, population‐based studies indicated that perceived severity can significantly predict screening uptake among women, although inconsistent findings are occasionally reported .…”

Objective To examine factors longitudinally associated with cervical cancer screening uptake among rural Chinese women, guided by protection motivation theory (PMT). Methods A large sample of women (n = 2408, aged 35‐65 years old) was randomly selected from a rural county in China in 2015 and followed up for 2 years. Data for demographic factors, knowledge of cervical cancer screening, screening outcome, and six PMT constructs measured at the baseline in 2015 were used to predict cervical cancer screening participation at the follow‐up in 2017 using structural equation model method. Results Among the 2408 women at the baseline, 1879 (78.03%) participated in the screening services at the follow‐up. In addition to significant direct effect of age, social status and baseline screening outcome, and three (perceived severity, fear arousal and response efficacy) of the six PMT subconstructs, four variables (age, social status, knowledge of cervical cancer screening, and baseline screening outcome) at the baseline were indirectly associated with screening participation, mediated by the three significant PMT subconstructs. Conclusions Findings of this study indicate that the rate of participating in cervical cancer screening for rural women needs to be further improved. In addition to the commonly reported influential factors, PMT subconstructs play important roles in encouraging rural women in China to participate in cervical cancer screening. These longitudinal findings provided data much needed for future research to develop evidence‐based intervention programs to enhance cervical cancer screening among rural women in China.
