This study aimed to determine the effect of the theory of planned behavior-based education program on promoting the urinary tract infection prevention behaviors in pregnant women.
The present study was a randomized controlled trial in which 100 pregnant women, who visited the healthcare centers of Zarinshahr City, were randomly divided into two groups, intervention and control. Five education sessions based on the theory of planned behavior were held for the intervention group.
After implementing the educational intervention, the mean scores of knowledge and constructs of the theory of planned behavior significantly increased in the intervention group over time (P < 0.001). After the educational intervention, the incidence of urinary tract infections (UTI) was 4.3% in the intervention group and 21.3% in the control group.
In this study, the use of methods such as group discussion and role playing promoted attitudes, perceived behavioral control and subjective norms of pregnant women, and as a result, UTI in women in the intervention group was reduced.
本研究旨在确定基于计划行为理论的教育方案对促进孕妇预防尿路感染行为的影响。
本研究为随机对照试验，共纳入 100 名来自扎林舒尔市医疗中心的孕妇，随机分为干预组和对照组。对干预组进行了 5 次基于计划行为理论的教育课程。
教育干预实施后，干预组的知识得分和计划行为理论各构面得分随时间显著增加（P<0.001）。教育干预后，干预组的尿路感染（UTI）发生率为 4.3%，对照组为 21.3%。
本研究中，采用小组讨论和角色扮演等方法促进了孕妇的态度、感知行为控制和主观规范，从而降低了干预组中女性的 UTI 发生率。
