Background & Purpose: Considering the global spread of the corona virus and its adverse consequences, preventive behavior is a suitable solution to reduce the damage caused by this disease. Considering the effectiveness of the developed parallel process model in changing behavior, this research was conducted with the aim of determining the impact of the educational program based on the extended parallel process model on the adoption of preventive behaviors against the coronavirus in young women.
Materials and methods: This research was conducted as an intervention (experimental) among 222 young women with a multi-stage sampling method in 1401. The data collection method was developed using a researcher's questionnaire based on the parallel process model. Then the educational intervention was conducted in 4 sessions through virtual sessions. Three months after the end of the intervention, the questionnaire was completed again by two groups. The data was analyzed using descriptive and analytical statistical tests in SPSS software version 26.
Results: The results of the study showed that after the educational intervention, the average score of the model and behavior structures in the two test and control groups had a significant difference (P<0.05). Before the training, 4.5% of the participants of the intervention group were in the risk control process, and after the training intervention, this number reached 20.7%, which was statistically significant. After the educational intervention, the difference between the control and intervention groups was significant in terms of risk control process or fear control process (P=0.049).
Conclusion: The use of the developed parallel process model is effective in adopting preventive behaviors against the coronavirus in young women.
