Study Notes
Health Behavior Change
- Health behavior change is a motivated change in everyday routine.
- It’s influenced by both internal and external factors.
- External factors include social support, media, culture, socioeconomic conditions, and health care systems.
- Internal triggers include knowledge, attitudes, beliefs, values, social and life adaptation skills, and physiological factors.
Behavioral Modification Theories
- Theories help understand and influence behavior change.
- Cognitive Model assumes knowledge leads to attitude which affects behavior.
Social Cognitive Theory
- Individuals are influenced by personal beliefs and social environments.
- Personal beliefs encompass self-efficacy, the belief in one's ability to perform a task.
- Social environment includes learning by observing others and receiving positive reinforcement.
Theory of Reasoned Action
- Focuses on beliefs about intended behavior.
- Intention to perform a behavior is influenced by attitudes and beliefs about the behavior.
Health Belief Model
- Emphasizes the disease rather than the behavior, assuming the individual has knowledge of the disease.
- Decisions to change behavior are based on:
- Perception of threat to personal health: severity of disease and individual susceptibility.
- Perceived costs and benefits: personal assessment of the positive and negative aspects of change.
- Cues to action: internal or external stimuli that prompt action.
Trans-theoretical Model
- Originated from addiction treatment approaches.
- Identifies stages of health-related behavior change:
- Precontemplation
- Contemplation
- Preparation
- Action
- Maintenance
- Relapse
Community Health Model
- Cost-efficient approach focusing on public health.
- Considers social, cultural, economic, and environmental factors impacting health.
