Abstract

Purpose:
Intervention mapping is a method used to design evidence-based health intervention programs. The purpose of this review article is to review the scientific resources in order to investigate the role of intervention mapping in the design of health promotion interventions.
Methods:
In order to conduct the present review research, the search was performed in two ways. First, a search was performed on the intervention mapping database (www.interventionmapping. com/references) with the terms sports injuries, injuries, physical activity, overweight, fitness, and rehabilitation. This database contains published articles that have used intervention mapping. All titles containing the above words were reviewed. Next, the search was done through electronic search engines in the PubMed database. Intervention mapping AND (physical activity OR sports injuries OR injuries OR overweight OR fitness OR rehabilitation) was used to search. In addition, to search for Persian articles, the National Magazines Database (MAGIRAN), the Scientific Information Database (SID), and the Islamic World Science Citation Database (ISC) were used.
Results:
According to the inclusion criteria, 34 articles were reviewed in this study. Of these, 16 papers completed all six stages of intervention mapping and 18 papers completed steps 1 to 4 or 1 to 5. 27 articles designed interventions to promote physical activity and prevent obesity, and 7 articles designed programs for the prevention of sports injuries and the management of orthopedic problems.
Conclusion:
It seems that Intervention mapping has been used successfully in the design, implementation and evaluation of interventions and may increase the use of preventive programs. This study showed that interventions designed in this way have generally achieved their goals. Therefore, it can be recommended that researchers in the field of health promotion, use intervention mapping to design interventions.
