Study Notes
Transtheoretical Model of Change and Other Behavioral Theories
- The Transtheoretical Model (TTM) is also known as the "Stages of Change Model" and comprises four major constructs: Stages of change, Processes of change, Self-efficacy, and Decisional balance.
- TTM recognizes that people have specific informational needs at each stage of behavioral change.
- The TTM stages include Precontemplation, Contemplation, Preparation, Action, and Maintenance, each with potential change strategies and examples.
- Individuals do not change their behavior at one time; they change it stepwise through the stages of change in TTM.
- The Precaution Adoption Process Model (PAPM) explains how people come to the decision to take action and translate that decision into action, particularly useful for deliberate actions like screening or immunization.
- Interpersonal Theories focus on factors at the interpersonal level, assuming that other people affect behavior through sharing thoughts, advice, feelings, emotional support, and assistance. These people may include family, friends, peers, health care providers, and co-workers.
- The Social Cognitive Theory (SCT) describes learning as a reciprocal interaction among an individual's environment, cognitive processes, and behavior, aiming to explain how people regulate their behavior by controlling and reinforcement using constructs like behavior capability and self-efficacy.
- Community Level Theories include the ecological perspective levels: Institutional, Community, and Public policy, with examples such as Diffusion of Innovation Theory and Ecological Models.
- The Community Readiness Model is a stage model for communities, indicating that like individuals, communities are at various stages of readiness for change.
- Other theories associated with community level factors include theories of community organizing and community building, as well as the Social Capital Theory.
- The Transtheoretical Model of Change stages are Precontemplation, Contemplation, Preparation, Action, and Maintenance, each with specific potential change strategies and examples.
- The Interpersonal Theories focus on the influence of other people on behavior, while the Social Cognitive Theory aims to explain how people regulate their behavior through controlling and reinforcement. The Community Level Theories include institutional, community, and public policy factors, with associated theories like the Diffusion of Innovation Theory and the Community Readiness Model.
Health Behavior Theories and Models
- Health behavior theories and models are used as a foundation for program planning, development, and studying problems.
- They serve as a guide for explaining health behavior change processes and help identify suitable target audiences, methods for change, and outcomes for evaluation.
- The theories and models are divided into three categories: intrapersonal, interpersonal, and community level theories.
- Intrapersonal theories focus on factors within the person that influence behavior, including knowledge, beliefs, self-concept, past experience, attitudes, motivation, developmental history, and skills.
- Examples of intrapersonal theories include self-efficacy theory, health belief model, theory of reasoned action, attribution theory, trans-theoretical model, precaution adoption process model, and others.
- The self-efficacy theory emphasizes the belief in one's ability to accomplish tasks successfully and how this perception is influenced by mastery experience, vicarious experience, verbal persuasion, and somatic and emotional state.
- The health belief model explains human health decision-making and subsequent behavior, including people's beliefs about the severity and susceptibility of a disease, and their willingness to take preventive action.
- It takes into account factors such as perceived susceptibility, severity, benefits, barriers, and cues to action in predicting whether people will take action to prevent and control illness.
- The health belief model can be applied to real-world scenarios, such as designing health education interventions for controlling diseases like dengue fever.
- The transtheoretical model views behavior change as a progression through five stages: precontemplation, contemplation, preparation, action, and maintenance, and is useful for understanding gradual development of habitual patterns like diet and exercise.
