Objectives. The purpose of this study was designed and conducted so that the educational intervention based on the theory of planned behavior be performed in order to promote preventive behaviors of knee osteoarthritis in women over 40 living in, Fars, I.R.IranMethods. This research is a quasi-experimental study. The subjects of the study were 100 women over the age of 40 who were under the coverage of Health Centers. The data collection tool was a questionnaire TPB. The educational intervention program consisted of 8 training sessions on the adoption of preventive behaviors from knee osteoarthritis based on the theory of planned behavior (TPB). Results. There was a significant difference between the experimental and control groups in terms of the scores for attitude, subjective norms, perceived control behavior, intention and behavior before and after the intervention. However, three months after the intervention, there was a significant increase in each of the constructs in the experimental, but there was no such a significant difference in the control group.Conclusion. With regard to the findings of this study, performing educational intervention based on theories and changing behavior modes particularly the TPB aiming at reducing knee osteoarthritis can lead to its morbidity reduction.
