| Summary: | Background: Iron deficiency is one of the most important
cause of anemia, the aim of this study was designed to
investigate the effect of health education based on HBM
model on knowledge, attitude and practice of Gorgan
guidance school students about anemia.
Methods: A quasi experimental study was performed on
400 students of grade three in guidance school of Gorgan
which were selected via cluster and simple random sampling
method. Subjects divided into intervention and control
groups. Data collection was performed by a questionnaire
include 51 questions based on health belief model in
prevention of anemia. Analysis was performed by SPSS
software and T test and chi- square tests. A p-value less than
0.05 were considered as significant.
Results: The difference between knowledge and attitude
and practice about anemia before intervention was not
statistically significant but after intervention knowledge,
attitude and practice of intervention group and control group
was significantly deferent. (P <0.05). The findings show that
the mean score of all dimensions (except perceived benefit
and barriers) of HBM model in intervention group increase
after educational intervention compare by control group.
Conclusion: This study finding show that education based
on HBM model can affect on students knowledge and
attitude toward anemia. Therefore we suggest implementing
