Abstract EN
Backgrounds.
The aim of this study was to describe the preventive behaviors of industrial workers and factors influencing occupational cancer prevention behaviors using protection motivation theory.
Methods.
A self-administered questionnaire was completed by 161 petrochemical workers in Iran in 2014 which consisted of three sections: background information, protection motivation theory measures, and occupational cancers preventive behaviors.
Results.
A statistically significant positive correlation was found between PM and self-efficacy, response efficacy, and the cancer preventive behaviors.
Meanwhile, statistically significant negative correlations were found between PM, cost, and reward.
Conclusions.
Among available PMT constructs, only self-efficacy and cost were significant predictors of preventive behaviors.
Protection motivation model based health promotion interventions with focus on self-efficacy and cost would be desirable in the case of occupational cancers prevention.
