Aim: Cardiovascular disease (CVD), as a non-communicable disease, is one of the major causes of death in different countries and imposes a huge health, social and economic burden on society. This study aimed to determine the effect of educational intervention based on the health belief model on the promotion of CVD preventive behaviors among subjects referred to health centers in Fasa city, Fars province, Iran.

Methods: This study is a quasi-experimental study with 200 subjects (100 experimental group and 100 control group) referred to Fasa health centers in 2017-2018. Data were collected using a self-created questionnaire including demographic variables, awareness, HBM constructs and preventive behaviors. It was completed by both groups before the intervention and 3 months after it. Training sessions included 8 sessions held during two months (one session per week) and each session lasted 55-60 minutes. Then, the data were entered into the SPSS 19 and were analyzed using Chi-square test, independent t-test, and descriptive statistical methods. P < 0.05 was considered as statistically significant.

Results: The age of participants was 50.28 ± 4.76 years in the experimental group and 49.85 ± 4.94 years in the control group (p = 0.265). The mean BMI was 25.13 ± 2.18 in the experimental group and 24.86 ± 2.40 (p = 0.316) in the control group. The mean scores of HBM Model constructs and Performance were significantly increased in the experimental group compared to the controls after the intervention (P < 0.05).

Conclusions: Results showed the effectiveness of the intervention program and the need to use educational interventions designed to improve the adoption of CVD preventive behaviors.
