Study Notes

Behaviour Maintenance and Follow-up Encounters

Follow-up encounters assess ongoing progress and allow for adjustments to the behaviour change plan as necessary.
Support mechanisms are crucial for maintaining desirable behaviours post-intervention.

Stages and Purposes

Setting the Stage: Determine readiness to discuss the intervention plan.
Establishing an Information Base: Review how the intervention plan is being implemented.
Obtain a Commitment: Evaluate engagement levels in the behaviour change process.
Negotiate an Intervention Plan: Collaboratively revisit and modify the intervention strategy.

Purpose of the ABCD Approach

The ABCD approach focuses on assessing receptiveness, implementation, engagement, and collaboration throughout the intervention process.

Behaviour Maintenance

Defined as ongoing performance of a behaviour after an initial intentional change, differing significantly from previous baseline levels.
Long-term behaviour change is a complex process influenced by maintenance motives, self-regulation, available resources, habit formation, and environmental/social factors.

Maintenance Motives: Sustained motivation is essential for long-term adherence to behaviour changes.
Self-Regulation: Effective monitoring and self-regulation skills enhance behaviour maintenance success.
Resources: Both psychological and physical resources are vital for sustaining behavioural changes.
Habit: Established behaviours that become habitual are easier to maintain over time.
Environmental and Social Influences: Supportive environments and social networks play key roles in behaviour maintenance.

Strategies for Behaviour Maintenance

Behaviour Change Techniques (BCTs) include methods such as self-monitoring, providing feedback, using rewards, conducting goal reviews, preventing relapses, and planning contingencies.

Working with Diverse Populations

Culturally and Linguistically Diverse (CALD) populations in Australia face unique challenges as many are born overseas and speak languages other than English at home.

Barriers to Health Services

Common barriers include language difficulties, low health literacy, challenges in navigating health systems, and experiences of racism and discrimination.

Equity vs. Equality

Equality involves treating everyone the same, whereas equity focuses on just treatment according to individual circumstances.

Intersectionality and Health

Intersectionality acknowledges the complexity of overlapping social identities and the associated experiences of oppression or discrimination.

Cultural Safety

Recognizes the importance of being aware of one's cultural identity and biases while respecting the cultural identities of others.

First Nations Cultural Safety Framework (2021)

Aims to enhance cultural identities and promote overall well-being through culturally safe service delivery as experienced by clients.

Aspirational Model of Cultural Safety (Taylor & Thompson-Guerin, 2019)

Self-Awareness: Identifying personal differences from others.
Cultural Awareness: Gaining an understanding of various cultural elements.
Cultural Sensitivity: Applying cultural awareness effectively in practice.
Cultural Safety: Ensuring actions respect and fulfill cultural needs and expectations.

Institutional Changes for Cultural Safety (Brach & Fraser, 2000)

Implement services such as interpreters and hire minority staff to promote cultural safety.
Provide cultural awareness training and coordination with traditional healers.
Engage community health workers and promote culturally relevant health tools.
Involve families and communities in health decisions and improve clinic accessibility.

Individual Practice for Cultural Safety (Nursing Council of New Zealand, 2011)

Reflect on practice, engage in dialogue, and minimize power imbalances.
Undertake decolonization efforts and avoid actions that may diminish others.
Scrutinize for potential racism and discrimination.

Driving Behaviour Change for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Peoples and Communities
