Background: Hepatitis B (HB) is one of the important common occupational diseases, and health care
workers are one of the most at-risk groups. The current study aimed to investigate the best psycho-social
predictors of HB preventive behaviors among nurses by using the theory of planned behavior (TPB).
Methods: The current research was a cross-sectional study. An anonymous self-reported scale according to
the TPB determinants was distributed among ۳۳۰ nurses in Kermanshah, and ۲۹۹ (۹۰.۶%) questionnaires
were returned. Nurses were randomly selected among different teaching hospitals in Kermanshah in
۲۰۱۶. Data were analyzed by SPSS version ۱۶ using Pearson correlation, one-way analysis of variance,
independent samples t test, and linear regression tests.
Results: The mean score for the HB preventive behaviors was ۳.۱۴ ± ۱.۴۵ ranging from ۱ to ۵. The TPB
determinants accounted for ۲۱% of the variance in nurses’ HB preventive behaviors. Attitude and perceived
behavior control (PBC) were the best determinants of performing HB preventive behaviors. Furthermore,
higher education level, gender (female), and family history of HB were effective in the higher score of HB
prevention behaviors (P < ۰.۰۰۱).
Conclusion: In developing programs and policies to prevent HB among nurses in Iran, attitude and PBC
should be considered. These findings may guide HB interventions to improve the capacity to seek HB
preventive behaviors.
