    Study Notes

    Integrated Theory of Health Behavior Change

    • The text states that people with long-term health conditions can improve their well-being by adopting specific lifestyle habits.
    • The text also says that these changes are similar to the actions associated with health promotions programs.
    • Health educators and promoters help people by assessing their needs, choosing health behaviors, and providing support.
    • The text suggests that managing chronic conditions is a shared responsibility between patients and their families.
    • If patients are repeatedly admitted to hospitals, fail to reach their health goals, or require frequent unscheduled appointments, it suggests that they need more support.
    • Successful management of chronic conditions includes managing negative emotions and maintaining daily responsibilities.
    • Health promotion strategies also require people to make sustainable changes to their habits, including physical activity, diet, stress management, alcohol use, and smoking cessation.
    • Prevention is a key aspect of health promotion. Consistent healthy habits, including physical activity, a balanced diet, and effective stress management, are vital for maintaining well-being.

    Theory of Reasoned Action and Planned Behavior

    • The Theory of Reasoned Action was proposed in 1967 by Martin Fishbein, and later expanded by Fishbein and Ajzen a decade later.
    • It helps explain human behavior and develop effective interventions.
    • The theory focuses on a person's intention to act in a specific way.
    • The underlying assumption of this theory is people are rational and use available data to make measured decisions.
    • It suggests that people consider the implications of their actions before deciding to act or not.

    Key Terms

    • Behavior: How someone acts or conducts themself, particularly in social situations.
    • Behavioral Intention: A person's plan or likelihood of acting in a certain way, regardless of whether they actually do.
    • Attitude: A person's feeling about performing a specific behavior.
    • Norms: Social expectations or beliefs that influence behavior.
    • Behavioral Beliefs: Beliefs about the outcomes of performing a certain behavior (e.g., is the behavior likely or unlikely?).
    • Evaluation of the Behavioral Outcome: The value assigned to the outcome of a behavior (e.g., is the behavior beneficial or harmful?).
    • Normative Beliefs: Beliefs about whether important individuals or groups approve or disapprove of a behavior.
    • Motivation to Comply: The degree to which a person's actions are influenced by the opinions of others.

    Supporting Processes for Behavioral Change

    • Goal Setting: Defining specific, measurable, achievable, relevant, and time-bound goals.
    • Self-Monitoring and Reflective Thinking: Regularly tracking progress and analyzing patterns in behavior.
    • Decision Making: Weighing the pros and cons of different options.
    • Planning and Plan Enactment: Creating and following a structured plan for change.
    • Self-Evaluation: Regularly assessing progress towards goals and identifying areas for improvement.
    • Emotional Response Management: Developing strategies for handling feelings that might hinder behavior change.

    Integrated Theory of Health Behavior Change

    • This theory states that changes in health behaviors are influenced by multiple factors, including knowledge, beliefs, self-regulation skills, and social support.

    Key Factors:

    • Knowledge and Beliefs: Understanding the potential benefits and risks of different behaviors.
    • Self-Regulation: Possessing the ability to monitor, control, and adjust behavior.
    • Skill and Ability: Having the practical skills and knowledge required for successful behavior change.
    • Social Facilitation: Receiving encouragement, guidance, and support from others.

    Outcomes:

    • Proximal Outcomes: Short-term effects of engaged behavior, such as increased calcium intake or performing weight-bearing exercises.
    • Distal Outcomes: Long-term effects on health status, such as preventing fractures and osteoporosis.

    Example of the Integrated Theory in Action:

    • Scenario: Middle-aged women are at increased risk of fractures due to osteoporosis.
    • Knowledge and beliefs: Women learn how to prevent osteoporosis through increased calcium intake and weight-bearing exercises.
    • Self-regulation: Women learn to set goals, make decisions, plan, and evaluate their progress to implement these changes.
    • Social Facilitation: Women receive support from healthcare professionals and may join support groups.
    • Result: Women engage in these specific behaviors, leading to increased bone density and decreased risk of fractures.

    Conclusion

    • The text asserts that both the Theory of Reasoned Action and the Integrated Theory of Health Behavior Change emphasize that a wide range of factors influence people's intentions to change their behavior.
    • The Integrated Theory of Health Behavior Change suggests that encouraging changes in health behavior can be facilitated by enhancing knowledge, belief systems, self-regulation skills, and social support. This can ultimately lead to improved health outcomes for individuals.
