Abstract
The purpose of this research was to examine the effect of a bromodosis prevention program by applying the health belief and social support of 35th military circle privates in Uttaradit province. The sample included sixty 35th military circle privates who were divided into experimental and control groups of thirty each for the eight-week study. The research instruments were a bromodosis prevention program, an evaluation form, a record form, and a questionnaire. The statistical devices employed for data analysis were frequency, percentage, mean, standard deviation, and the t-test.
The results showed that after the experiment, the experimental group had higher mean scores for bromodosis knowledge, perception of the health belief model, social support, and bromodosis prevention behavior, which was statistically significant at the 0.05 level. The experimental group had higher mean scores of bromodosis knowledge, perception of the health belief model, social support, and bromodosis prevention behavior than the control group, which was statistically significant at the 0.05 level. The experimental group had a 50.00% reduction in foot bacteria than before the experiment. The experimental group was satisfied with the program after receiving it at the highest level, demonstrating that the bromodosis prevention program could increase knowledge and change behavior to effectively prevent bromodosis.
