In order to direct nutrition education activities, the Health Belief Model (HBM) has become a well-known and effective framework. This review paper thoroughly examines the factors that contribute to the HBM's success in promoting healthy dietary behaviour modification and its applicability for nutrition education programmes. This review emphasises the model's elements, such as perceived susceptibility, perceived severity, perceived benefits, perceived barriers, cues to action, and self-efficacy, and their roles in influencing people's perceptions of and behaviours regarding nutrition.The aim of this review article is to analyse and interpret the results of intervention studies conducted over the last decade, employing the HBM as a theoretical framework. This review examines the essential elements of the HBM by drawing on the knowledge gained from a substantial body of research that includes 28 publications written over the past ten years. Specifically, this review seeks to assess the effectiveness of the HBM in promoting health-related behaviours and provide insights into its relevance in contemporary healthcare settings. By synthesizing findings, it aims to identify common trends, contextual factors, and practical implications for healthcare practitioners and policymakers. Ultimately, the goal is to contribute to evidence-based decision-making and enhance public health outcomes.
