Understanding the feasibility and acceptability of DM self-management practices among individuals with TB and pre-DM/DM is key to improving both TB treatment success and glycaemic control in Eswatini and other resource-limited settings. To explore barriers and facilitators to adopting DM self-management practices, we conducted 26 in-depth interviews with individuals diagnosed with both TB and pre-DM/DM in Manzini, Eswatini. Our analyses were guided by the situated Information Motivation and Behavioural Skills model. While participants demonstrated substantial knowledge about the dietary and exercise changes needed to manage pre-DM/DM, many were unaware of the link between TB and DM. Some attributed their pre-DM/DM diagnosis to dietary habits or family history. Despite being well-informed and motivated to engage in self-management practices, structural barriers, especially financial constraints, frequently hindered their efforts. Participants suggested addressing these challenges by enhancing community education on DM, promoting home gardening initiatives, and offering financial assistance for transportation to clinics.","PeriodicalId":48236,"journal":{"name":"Health Education Research","volume":"40 4","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.1,"publicationDate":"2025-06-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144565409","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

While the Theory of Planned Behaviour (TPB) has been widely used to predict prevention behaviours, gaps in prior research highlight the need for integrated models that explore underlying mechanisms. This study examines cervical cancer prevention intentions among 1027 Chinese young women, the primary audience for such efforts, using a framework that combines TPB, the Extended Parallel Process Model (EPPM), and Protection Motivation Theory (PMT). Structural equation modelling reveals that affective attitude (β = 0.51) is a stronger predictor of human papillomavirus (HPV) vaccination intention than cognitive attitude (β = 0.43) and perceived behavioural control (β = 0.39). For cervical cancer screening, perceived behavioural control (β = 0.42) surpasses injunctive norms (β = 0.28) and descriptive norms (β = 0.17). Additionally, perceived severity negatively impacts affective attitudes towards vaccination (β = -0.26), and response efficacy shows unexpected negative effects on behavioural intentions (βHPV vaccination = -1.34; βcervical cancer screening = -0.36). These findings underscore the importance of addressing emotional distress, enhancing susceptibility perceptions, and correcting misconceptions about response efficacy in health campaigns. This integrated approach offers critical insights for improving cervical cancer prevention strategies in China.","PeriodicalId":48236,"journal":{"name":"Health Education Research","volume":"40 4","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.1,"publicationDate":"2025-06-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144565411","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

To understand the patterns of message characteristics, strategies, and theoretical constructs embedded in videos of different types, we coded and analysed 38 variables from 56 videos across five types of pro-HPV vaccination videos (talking head, animation, produced-story, velfie, and mixed-type). We discovered that message characteristics such as redundancy, use of statistics, vividness, video quality, accuracy, authenticity, obtrusiveness, and doctor's recommendations varied across video types. A number of arguments, argument strength, and use of inoculation or forewarning varied by video type, whereas emotional appeals and use of social norms did not. Talking head videos were the lowest in vividness, whereas animation videos were the highest. Animation videos were highly redundant in visual and vocal information and used inoculation strategies to debunk misinformation. Produced-story videos conveyed most information about the susceptibility and severity of HPV-related diseases. Velfie videos had the highest believability and authenticity. Mixed-type videos included various features from the four single-type videos. Findings from this study underscore that because of the differences in the use of theoretical constructs across video types, the potential of different types of videos to affect HPV vaccine uptake may vary.","PeriodicalId":48236,"journal":{"name":"Health Education Research","volume":"40 4","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.1,"publicationDate":"2025-06-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144545529","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The formative research phase of the electronic healthy environments (eHEROs) study used a multiple-methods design, consisting of a quantitative survey (n = 116) and a semi-structured qualitative interview (n = 16). Individual- (i.e. digital literacy) and environment-level (i.e. home internet connection) factors were associated with likelihood to participate and preferences for intervention format. Participants outlined key preferences for mobile app content, including modality (audio and video with text), flow (access), and duration (5-15-min lessons). Motivation for participation related to the relevance of the content, feelings of accomplishment, and creative and engaging packaging. Lastly, participants desired opportunities to build community and connect with other parents, preferably through group meetings. Identifying and incorporating the population's preferences and requirements into the digital design are needed to optimize adoption, engagement, and retention of intervention use.","PeriodicalId":48236,"journal":{"name":"Health Education Research","volume":"40 4","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.1,"publicationDate":"2025-06-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144545528","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

To assess the impact of a university-wide health promotion programme on student and staff well-being over 5 years (2015-19) using cross-sectional and longitudinal methods, a study was conducted at a university with 13 500 students and 1431 staff. Key measures included: body mass index (BMI) normalization: increased from 67.95% to 76.89% in students; blood pressure reduction: declined from 10.55% to 6.4% in staff and from 2.69% to 1.03% in students; wellness engagement: increased recreational facility use and annual wellness check-up participation; mental health services: stable among students, increased among staff; and healthcare affordability: lower out-of-pocket expenses. Institutional health promotion programmes promote health indicators of BMI, blood pressure, and access to health care effectively. The HPI model improves students' and personnel's well-being, which can be aligned with Sustainable Development Goal III (Good Health and Well-being). Scalability, policy mainstreaming, and long-term sustainability of the health-promoting university initiatives in India should be assessed in future studies.","PeriodicalId":48236,"journal":{"name":"Health Education Research","volume":"40 4","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.1,"publicationDate":"2025-06-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144565410","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Qualitative data examined contextual factors (participant responsiveness, and school and municipal contexts) as potential influences on implementation fidelity and outputs. The results showed that school, municipal, and community actors actively participated in systems mapping and in identifying actions targeting leverage points at various system levels. Engaged and knowledgeable community actors were found to be key in generating ideas targeting the deeper layers of the system, enhancing the potential for successful implementation and system-level change.
