Study Notes

Theories of Change in Nursing Education

Learning theories elucidate how individuals acquire knowledge, aiding nurses in structuring effective client education experiences.
These theories help prevent information overload and address unsuccessful educational encounters.

Key Learning Theories

Bandura’s Social Learning Theory emphasizes learning through observation and the influence of social interactions.
Health Belief Model, developed by Hochbaum, Rosenstock, and Becker, addresses factors affecting health behavior change decisions.
Green’s PRECEDE Framework assists in health education planning and evaluation by integrating various health promotion elements.
Knowles’ Adult Learning Theory focuses on unique characteristics and needs of adult learners.

Historical Perspectives of Learning

Classical Conditioning (Pavlov): Learning through association between conditioned and unconditioned stimuli to create a conditioned response.
Operant Conditioning (Skinner): Behavior learning based on consequences, where rewards increase the likelihood of repeating behaviors, and punishments decrease it.

Cognitive Learning Theory

Cognitive theorists prioritize the learner’s internal processes—perception, thought, memory, and information processing.
E.C. Tolman’s experiments highlight cognitive maps in learning and the role of rewards in accelerating learning.

Developed by Albert Bandura, SLT posits a reciprocal relationship among behavior, environmental consequences, and cognitive processes.
Learning occurs through direct experiences and observational learning.

Health Belief Model Components

Perceived Susceptibility: Beliefs about the likelihood of experiencing a health problem.
Perceived Severity: Beliefs about the seriousness of the health issues.
Perceived Benefits: Beliefs regarding advantages of taking health-related action.
Perceived Barriers: The anticipated obstacles in taking action.
Cues to Action: Triggers that motivate one to act.

Theory of Reasoned Action

Proposed by Fishbein and Ajzen, it highlights the impact of perceived social norms on motivation to act, integrating personal beliefs with social influences.

PRECEDE-PROCEED Framework

Developed by Lawrence W. Green, this comprehensive planning and evaluation model for health education includes assessment of quality-of-life, and behavioral factors.

Phases of PRECEDE

Social Diagnosis: Evaluating the community’s quality of life.
Epidemiological Diagnosis: Identifying specific health issues.
Behavioral Diagnosis: Recognizing health-related behaviors.
Educational Diagnosis: Assessing factors that influence behaviors, categorized into predisposing, enabling, and reinforcing factors.

Evaluation in Health Education Programs

Evaluation is continuous, assessing processes, impact, and outcomes related to health behaviors and community health status.

PROCEED Model

Focuses on policy, regulatory, and organizational constructs essential for educational and environmental health initiatives.

Knowles’ Andragogical Theory

Emphasizes adult learning principles, including self-concept maturation, leveraging life experiences, and readiness to learn.
Recognizes that learning must be relevant and applicable to the adult learner's life context.
