Background: One of the most important occupational complications that could occur in nurses is musculoskeletal disorders. In this study, we designed an educational intervention based on the PRECEDE-PROCEED model to investigate its effects on a group of nurses on preventive behaviors of musculoskeletal disorders.

Methods: A total of 120 nurses working in Izeh City, Iran, participated in this semi-experimental study. The sampling was performed through a convenient sampling method, and the participants were randomly assigned to the experimental and control groups (60 participants for each group). Both groups filled out a questionnaire based on the PRECEDE-PROCEED model before and 2 months after the educational program as part of the data collection process. The data were examined using a paired -test, an independent -test, and a chi-square test after being entered into SPSS version 24.

Results: According to the findings, prior to the intervention, there was no difference between the two groups in terms of their knowledge ( = 0.221), attitude ( = 0.136), enabling factors ( = 0.325), reinforcing factors ( = 0.548), self-efficacy (0.421), and behavior (0.257) levels. However, following the intervention, a substantial rise was witnessed in the experimental group in each of the mentioned variables ( = 0.001).

Conclusion: In the current study, education based on the PRECEDE-PROCEED model led to the improvement of knowledge, attitude, enabling and reinforcing factors, self-efficacy, and finally preventive behaviors with musculoskeletal disorders in the participants. Considering the importance of the role of health education in promoting behaviors related to musculoskeletal disorders in nurses and the importance of observing related behaviors in preventing long-term complications, the necessity of education in a wider dimension and with different tools is felt more and more in society. Therefore, longer interventions with this aim could be carried out on nurses and other healthcare personnel.

Article Synopsis
  • - Maintaining a healthy weight after intentional weight loss is vital for preventing chronic health problems, but many people struggle with regaining weight; integrating electronic health record (EHR) portals into primary care may help in managing this issue.
  • - A training program was developed and evaluated for clinical staff to improve their coaching abilities and support weight maintenance, based on previous findings that showed coaching with self-monitoring is more effective than monitoring alone.
  • - Despite challenges posed by the COVID-19 pandemic, 39 clinicians were trained, with 34 coaching patients successfully, and they reported high satisfaction and readiness to implement coaching, demonstrating the potential for a sustainable weight management intervention in primary care settings.

The PRECEDE-PROCEED model is a comprehensive planning and theoretical framework that incorporates epidemiological, environmental, behavioral, and social factors systematically to design, implement, and evaluate health promotion programs. As such, PRECEDE-PROCEED is a highly effective tool for addressing complex and significant public health concerns like postpartum depression (PPD). PPD negatively impacts mothers and their infants, with studies showing that approximately one in eight mothers experience PPD, leading to adverse effects on maternal functioning and infant development.
