Design and evaluation of an educational intervention based on the Health Belief Model in adopting neck pain prevention behaviors in teachers.
Design
Clinical trial with intervention and control groups, with parallel, Three-way blind, randomized groups, which will be performed on 140 people. A sealed envelope will be used for randomization.
Settings and conduct
The study is based on 140 primary school teachers in the 19th district of Tehran. Participants will be divided into two groups of control and intervention by simple randomization. Training and virtual ergonomic interventions will be performed on the intervention group, but no intervention will be performed on the control group. At the same time, pre-test questionnaires will be provided to both groups (control and intervention) for initial needs assessments. After collecting information, the data will be parsed and analyzed. Then we will design the training program and training intervention virtually.
Participants/Inclusion and exclusion criteria
Entry requirements: 1.Teachers who have access to the Internet and mobile phones. No entry conditions: 1.People's unwillingness to continue participating in research. 2.Teachers who have a second job. 3.Teachers with congenital musculoskeletal disorders of the neck. 4.Teachers who forbid the doctor to do sports.

Randomization (investigator's opinion)
Randomized
Randomization description
First, the names of all schools will be specified with a code and the relevant codes will be poured into a bag, or the computer will be randomly divided into two groups (test and control) using the computer method. After dividing the schools into two groups of control and test, the names of all teachers are re-identified and a bag is poured into the bag and people will be randomly selected from the bag and divided into two groups. Each group of 70 people will be selected for the study. 70 people will be selected as the control group and 70 people as the experimental group. To prevent any predictions by the participants and the researcher, the random allocation concealment method will be used.
Blinding (investigator's opinion)
Triple blinded
Blinding description
In this research, the researcher, the participants in the research and the people analyzing the data do not know the names of the people. The participants in the research will be identified based on the code and no personal information will be collected from the people in the research.
