Musculoskeletal disorders are major problems in health systems worldwide which are the causes of disabilities. Taxi driver is considered a profession with high musculoskeletal disorders. The aim of the study was to evaluate the relationship between health belief model and health promotion behaviors for musculoskeletal disorders prevention among red car taxi drivers in Chiang Mai. Data were collected from 219 red car taxi drivers in Chiang Mai, by using a questionnaire developed and adapted from previous studies, consisting of personal data, health information, health belief model of musculoskeletal disorders questionnaire, and level of health promotion behaviors for musculoskeletal disorders prevention questionnaire. The collected data were analyzed using descriptive statistic, the relationship of the interested parameters was indicated by using spearman rank correlation coefficient, and multiple regression analysis. There was a low positive correlation between the overall health perception and health promotion behaviors (r=0.40, p<0.05). Factors significantly positive is related to health promotion behaviors for musculoskeletal disorders prevention among red car taxi drivers that perceived susceptibility, perceived benefit, self-efficacy, and health motivation factors(r=0.17, r=0.18, r=0.45, r=0.39 respectively; p<0.05). Whereas perceived barriers were negatively related to health promotion behaviors. (r=-0.16, p<0.05). There was no correlation between perceived severity and health promotion behaviors. In this study self-efficacy, health motivation, and perceived susceptibility were predictors of health promotion behaviors (β=0.39, 0.28, 0.24 respectively). Those factors predicted 33 % of the variation (R²=0.33, p<0.05). The results of this study can be used to plan activities to promote preventive behaviors to reduce risk of musculoskeletal disorders.
