“…The IMB model elucidated that the generation and maintenance of behavior is determined by three factors: information, motivation, and behavioral skills, and there are complex pathways between these factors [20]. It has empirically applied in the interpretation and intervention of various health related behaviors [21][22][23]. Using a structural equation modelling(SEM) approach, we aimed to: (1) test whether our hypothesized model holds, that gestational weight management(GWM) is impacted by information, motivation and behavioral skills and (2) assess the direct, indirect, and overall effects between these three factors on GWM.…”

Background Unhealthy gestational weight gain is a modifiable risk factor for adverse maternal and child health. Appropriate and effective intervention strategies that focus on behavioral change or maintenance are critical in weight management during pregnancy. Our aim was to uncover the influencing factors and psychosocial mechanisms of gestational weight control behavior, and to construct a behavioral model suitable for intervention based on Information-Motivation-Behavioral skills (IMB) model. Methods A sample of 559 pregnant women from a municipal maternal and child healthcare facility in Jiangsu Province, China was enrolled in this cross-sectional empirical study. Partial least square structural equation modelling was used to verify the hypothesized model, and post hoc analyses was used to test the effect of parity and pre-pregnancy BMI on the model. Results The IMB model elements can predict gestational weight management (GWM) behavior well, with information being the most influential factor. As predicted, information affects GWM directly (β = 0.325, p < 0.05) and indirectly (β = 0.054, p < 0.05) through behavioral skills. Likewise, motivation has direct (β = 0.461, p < 0.05) effects on GWM, and has indirect (β = 0.071, p < 0.05) effects through behavioral skills. Behavioral skills have a direct impact (β = 0.154, p < 0.05). The model had a goodness of fit (GOF = 0.421) and was robust when tested in subgroups of different parity or pre-pregnancy BMI. Conclusion Findings from this study supported the predictions of the IMB model for GWM behavior, and identified its modifiable determinants. The tested behavior model for GWM can serve as a new validated intervention strategy in weight management among pregnant women.

“…In recent years, several explanatory models for sexual risk behavior have been proposed, such as the Information, Motivation and Behavioral Skills Model (Fisher & Fisher, 1992), the Health Belief Model (Becker & Maiman, 1975), the Theory of Planned Behavior (Ajzen, 1991), or Social Cognitive Theory (Bandura, 1994). The variables collected in the models constitute key elements for designing preventive actions adapted to the psychosocial reality of men who have sex with women (Green et al, 2019). In particular, these models highlight the relevance of self-efficacy, sexual assertiveness, knowledge, attitudes, and perception of risk and severity, among other variables.…”

Introduction In Spain, the sexual route is the main route of transmission in new HIV diagnoses. Men who have heterosexual relations are the second group with the highest incidence of new HIV cases and have the highest rates of late diagnosis in Spain. Planning the response to the HIV epidemic requires specific and updated information on this group. This study aims to analyze sexual practices and frequency of condom use in heterosexual and bisexual men and identify variables that explain inconsistent condom use in vaginal intercourse. Methods The sample consists of 386 men between 18 and 57 years of age (M = 24.61; SD = 6.74). Results The results indicate that the percentage of consistent condom use in vaginal intercourse is 64.9%. Not consuming drugs before sexual intercourse, perceiving a high self-efficacy for condom use, and good assertive communication skills are factors that positively influence condom use. In contrast, a high level of sexual compulsivity is a risk factor. The proposed model explains between 29.1% and 40% of the variance. Conclusions and Policy Implications. Preventive actions implemented in this group should include work sessions that focus on developing assertive skills, reducing risks associated with drug use, and providing cognitive strategies to cope with compulsive sexual thoughts.

“…Information in the model refers to knowledge that is highly relevant to health behaviors. Information could directly influence condom use behaviors in new sexual partners, 14 and could also influence the acquired immune deficiency syndrome prevention behaviors in college students through behavioral skills. 15 Motivation refers to all perceptions associated with behavior that not only have a direct impact on behavior but can also indirectly affect behavior through behavioral skills.…”

Purpose This study aimed to explore the internal determinants affecting patients’ utilization of online medical services (OMS) based on the information-motivation-behavioral skills model from a behavioral perspective. Design A cross-sectional study. Setting This study was conducted in three medical institutions in Jiangsu Province, China. Subjects 470 internet users were enrolled from patients who came to the outpatient clinics. Measures A self-administered questionnaire with feasible reliability and validity was used to investigate the demographic characteristics and OMS utilization-related information, motivation, behavioral skills, intention, and behavior. Analysis According to the constructed framework, structural equation modeling was used to test the relationships between those factors and OMS utilization behaviors. Results All direct paths are established except the path between information and intention. Information and motivation positively affected OMS utilization behavior through behavioral skills and intention ( P < .001). Motivation and behavioral skills could positively influence OMS utilization behavior through intention ( P < .01). Motivation was found to be the largest predictor of OMS utilization behavior. Moreover, gender played a moderating role in the interpretation of the behavior. Conclusions Interventions should be conducted regarding information, motivation, and behavioral skills to promote patients’ use of OMS. At the same time, the impact of gender on intervention effectiveness should also be considered.
