A Featured Poster Presentation at ICAMP 2026

Anxiety among nurses is a growing occupational health concern, especially for those working in demanding hospital environments. At the International Conference on Addiction Medicine, Mental Health and Psychiatry (ICAMP 2026), Prof. Davoud Shojaeizadeh from Tehran University of Medical Sciences will showcase an important study on how the PRECEDE Model can be applied to reduce anxiety levels among nursing staff.

This research provides meaningful evidence supporting structured educational interventions as a pathway to improving mental well-being in healthcare workers.

Key Highlights from the Research

• Rigorous Study Design
  A total of 80 nurses were selected at random—40 in the experimental group and 40 in the control group.

• Reliable Measurement Tools
  Used the Spielberger Anxiety Questionnaire to assess anxiety, along with a PRECEDE-based evaluation tool for intervention planning.

• Comprehensive Intervention Program
  The educational program consisted of 7 sessions, each lasting 60–90 minutes, delivered to the experimental group.

• Comparable Baseline Anxiety Levels
  No significant difference between groups before intervention (P = 0.3), ensuring study validity.

• Significant Anxiety Reduction After Training
  Post-intervention results showed a highly significant drop in anxiety in the experimental group (P < 0.001).

• Long-Term Impact Confirmed
  Six months later, substantial improvements were maintained in:
  • Predisposing factors
  • Enabling factors
  • Reinforcing factors
  • Behavioral outcomes related to anxiety
  (All P < 0.001)

• PRECEDE Model Proven Effective
  The study affirms that educational interventions grounded in the PRECEDE framework effectively reduce anxiety and support healthier behaviors among nurses.
