Abstract
Introduction: With the spread of the corona virus in the world, in addition to physical problems in people who have been affected by this disease and have recovered, psychological effects are also observed in these people. Research has shown that post-traumatic stress symptoms are one of these consequences. This research was conducted with the aim of studying the predictive model of health belief on post-traumatic stress symptoms with the mediating role of prospective event thinking in people who have recovered from corona disease.
Method: For this purpose, 383 people were selected by the available sampling method and completed the event impact questionnaire, health belief scale, and prospective thinking task. Data were analyzed using Amos and SPSS software.
Findings: The findings showed the significance of the predictive model of health belief on post-traumatic stress with the mediating role of prospective thinking. Also, direct and indirect paths in this model were significant at 0.05 level.
Discussion: These findings indicate the importance of paying attention to people's cognitive beliefs in the field of health belief and their cognitive abilities and its effect on mental states after experiencing illness.
