Abstract

Benzene, toluene, ethylbenzene, and xylene (BTEX) are air pollutants that may cause serious adverse effects on the health status of pregnant women and their fetuses. In this study, researchers aimed to investigate the effect of an educational intervention using an extended parallel process model on the protective behaviors of pregnant women against BTEX. In this quasi-experimental study, 94 first-trimester pregnant women were recruited for the study. The intervention caused significant increases in mean scores of perceived susceptibility, severity, response efficacy, and self-efficacy. The researchers found the effectiveness of educational intervention on protective behaviors to reduce exposure to BTEX air pollutants.

基于扩展平行模型的教育干预减少孕妇对BTEX空气污染物的暴露：准实验研究。

苯、甲苯、乙苯和二甲苯（BTEX）是可能对孕妇及其胎儿健康状况造成严重不良影响的空气污染物。本研究采用扩展平行过程模型，探讨教育干预对孕妇抗BTEX保护行为的影响。在这项准实验研究中，94名早期妊娠妇女被招募参与研究。干预导致感知易感性、严重程度、反应疗效和自我效能的平均得分显著增加。研究人员发现，教育干预对减少接触BTEX空气污染物的保护行为是有效的。
