Aims: COVID-19 is rapidly expanding around the world and is one of the most important health problems. The purpose of the study was to determine preventive behaviors from COVID-19 and its determinants based on some constructs of the Health Belief Model. Instrument & Methods: This cross-sectional study was conducted on 2504 citizens of Rafsanjan in 2020 that were randomly selected by cluster sampling method. Data were collected using a behavior and Health Belief Model constructs (HBMs) researcher-made questionnaire based on the Internet. The validity of the questionnaire was evaluated by ten specialists, and its reliability was assessed by Cronbach's alpha coefficient. Data analysis was conducted in SPSS 18 by applying statistical tests such as Pearson's correlation coefficient, independent t-test, One-Way ANOVA, and linear regression. Findings: The means score of knowledge, attitude, perceived susceptibility, severity, benefits, barriers, and preventive behavior were 83.13+or-10.72, 81.17+or-8.55, 79.28+or-17.19, 74.47+or-14.65, 84.32+or-16.11, 69.27+or-14.31, and 87.35+or-11.16, respectively. There was a significant correlation between preventive behaviors with knowledge, attitude, and HBMs (p<0.001). The attitude was the strongest predictor for adopting preventive behaviors (B=0.446, p<0.001). In total, knowledge, attitude, and HBM constructs predicted 36.8% of the preventive behaviors for COVID-19. Conclusions: There is a significant correlation between adopting preventive behaviors for COVID-19 with knowledge, attitude, and HBM constructs.

Aims: The COVID-19 pandemic led to widespread concern, rumors, and fears in different countries. This study aimed to identify the information needs of the Iranian people regarding the pandemic. Participants & Methods: A qualitative study using a content analysis approach was conducted to collect experts' opinions on identifying the information needs of the Iranian people regarding the COVID-19 virus from March to May 2020. Key informants were purposefully selected from the Ministry of Health and Medical Education, Isfahan and Tehran University of Medical Sciences Hospitals. The saturation point was reached at 19 face-to-face semi-structured interviews. The data were collected using a semi-structured interview. The data collection instrument was the interview guide form. The interviews were analyzed by MAXQDA 12. Findings: The findings were divided into two sections, including channels and sources of information and people's information needs about the COVID-19 virus. In the first part, two main themes and eight categories were identified. Four themes and twenty-three subthemes on information needs regarding the COVID-19 virus were extracted. Themes related to information needs regarding COVID-19 were as follows: Information regarding an alternative lifestyle due to COVID-19 Pandemic, Information regarding mental health issues, Information regarding sanitation and hygienic requirements, and Information regarding medical issues.

Aims: The adherence to standard precautions guidelines as the main strategy for preventing healthcare-associated infections such as COVID-19. This study aimed to specify a health belief model to predict the standard precautions of employed nurses. Instrument & Method: This descriptive cross-sectional was conducted in Qom, Iran, from March to May 2020. One hundred and ninety-five randomly sampled registered nurses from two hospitals completed self-reported compliance with standard precautions of COVID-19 and health belief model scale. Data analysis was performed using partial least squares path modeling. Findings: Less than one-tenth (7%) of participants reported compliance with all standard precautions items. There was a significant relationship between health motivation and standard precautions (beta=0.515, t=13.650). Cues to action (beta=0.356, t=4.512) were identified as the strongest predictor of health motivation and, perceived threat (beta=0.143, t=2.144) was the weakest predictor. The model explained approximately 20% of the variance in compliance with standard precautions of COVID-19. Conclusions: The results indicated that health belief model constructs are considered significant predictors of compliance with standard precautions of COVID-19 among Iranian employed nurses. The results can help standard precautions training to reduce hospital infections and protect the health of patients and nursing staff.
