Tuberculosis (TB) infection rates among prisoners typically tend to increase. TB prevention is, therefore, important. This study quasi-experimental research used a pretest-posttest design with a comparison group. The purpose of the research was to study the effects of a Health Belief Model–based program on TB preventive behaviors among male prisoners. The sample of male prisoners was divided into an experimental group and a comparison group, each with 36 participants. The experimental group underwent 4 weeks of the Health Belief Model–based program for TB prevention with the results measured after the 4 weeks. The research tools consisted of the Health Belief Model-based program; a general information questionnaire; and the TB prevention behaviors questionnaire, the reliability of which was .80. Data were analyzed by descriptive statistics, independent t-test, and paired t-test.
The results show that the experimental group had an average score for TB prevention behaviors (M = 3.39, SD = .102) higher than before the experiment (M = 3.19, SD = .137) and higher than that of the comparison group (M = 3.14. SD = .116) with a statistically significant difference (t = 6.96, p < .001; t = 9.77, p < .001, respectively)
The study results are beneficial for nurses working in prisons and other staff who are involved to apply this perception-enhancing program to prevent TB infection in prisons effectively.
