Abstract: (380 Views)
Considering the high prevalence of COVID-19 disease and the ineffectiveness of effective interventions for controlling this disease, it is necessary to design and implement comprehensive interventions with a holistic approach. Therefore, the aim of the present study was to design, implement and evaluate a complex intervention for COVID-19 control based on the intervention mapping approach.
This is a sequential mixed-methods study (a mixture of qualitative and quantitative methods) that aims to evaluate a complex intervention for COVID-19 control using the intervention mapping approach. The study was designed in four phases and six sub-studies. The first phase was designed based on the first step of intervention mapping, in the form of three sub-studies. In the first sub-study, preventive behaviors, behavioral determinansts as well as barriers and facilitators of COVID-19 prevention are determined at the individual, interpersonal, organizational, social, and political levels. In the second sub-study, a questionnaire is designed and validated to assess COVID-19 preventive behaviors and behavioral determinants. In the third sub-study, a cross-sectional study will be conducted to investigate COVID-19-preventive behaviors and behavioral determinants. In the second phase, the intervention is designed at the individual, interpersonal and organizational levels in the form of the fourth sub-study based on the second to sixth steps of intervention mapping. The third phase will be performed in the form of the fifth sub-study, which will be investigate the effect of complex intervention for COVID-19 control, Its related preventive behaviors as well as healthcare utilization based on intervention mapping approach in the population covered by Torbat Heydariyeh University of Medical Sciences in a randomized controlled trial. In the fourth phase, in the form of a national study, the subject will be set on the policy agenda and the project will be approved by the National COVID-19 Center using the fifth step of intervention mapping as well as the opportunity window. Finally, the project will be implemented nationwide. This protocol reports an example of developing a training course using intervention mapping (IM). This course could be applied for COVID-19 as well as similar communicable diseases.
