The aim of this study was to evaluate the effectiveness of an educational intervention program based on the Health Belief Model (HBM) to increase awareness, perceived sensitivity, perceived severity, perceived benefits, and self-efficacy in adopting neck health-promoting behaviors in school teachers.

Participants were 146 junior high school teachers were selected from 26 schools through random sampling and divided into two groups of intervention and control. The data collection instrument was the self-design questionnaire and was completed in three points of time (before, immediately, and 3 months after the intervention). The data were analyzed by software version 24 SPSS.
The results showed that awareness, perceived sensitivity, perceived severity, perceived benefits and barriers, and self-efficacy in adopting neck health-promoting behaviors in the intervention group increased in two points of time (immediately after the intervention and 3 months of follow-up) (P < 0.05).
Designing and implementing an educational intervention based on HBM could affect in adopting neck health-promoting behaviors among teachers.

预防肌肉骨骼疾病是发达国家和发展中国家工作人群中最常见的职业健康问题之一，这是一项重要的必要性和优先事项。本研究的目的是评估基于健康信念模型（HBM）的教育干预计划对提高学校教师对促进颈部健康行为的认识、感知敏感性、感知严重性、感知益处和自我效能感的有效性。
本研究是一项准实验性随机临床试验，持续 6 个月（2020 年 12 月至 2021 年 7 月）。通过随机抽样从 26 所学校中选择了 146 名初中教师作为参与者，并将他们分为干预组和对照组两组。数据收集工具是自我设计的问卷，在三个时间点（干预前、干预后立即和干预后 3 个月）完成。数据使用 SPSS 24 版本软件进行分析。
结果表明，干预组在两个时间点（干预后立即和 3 个月随访）提高了对促进颈部健康行为的认识、感知敏感性、感知严重性、感知益处和障碍以及自我效能感（P<0.05）。
基于 HBM 设计和实施教育干预措施可以影响教师对促进颈部健康行为的采用。
