Study Notes
- The first stage of the Transtheoretical Model of Change is precontemplation.
- Relapse is most likely to occur in the Maintenance stage.
- Implementation is not a stage in the Transtheoretical Model.
- Relapse is not a failure in the Transtheoretical Model.
- The maintenance stage focuses on sustaining new behavior and avoiding relapse.
- Someone sober for eight months is likely in the maintenance stage.
- The goal of the preparation stage is to make small steps and commit.
- Motivational interviewing and awareness is the best intervention for the precontemplation stage.
- The Transtheoretical Model emphasizes stages of intentional behavior change.
- Returning to an earlier stage of change is described as relapse.
- "I know I need to change, but I'm not sure I can" best represents someone in the contemplation stage.
Precontemplation Stage
- The defining characteristic is that the individual has no intention of changing behavior and may be unaware of the problem.
- A person in the precontemplation stage is most likely to say, "I don't think I need to change."
Contemplation Stage
- An individual is ambivalent about change but is considering it within the next six months.
Preparation Stage
- A key indicator is when someone has started taking small steps and intends to act within 30 days.
- Someone planning to start a diet next week is likely in the preparation stage.
Action Stage
- This involves actively modifying one’s behavior.
- Someone in the Action stage might say, "I've started making significant changes to my behavior."
Maintenance Stage
- The individual has been working on maintaining their new behavior for at least six months and is focused on preventing relapse.
Relapse
- Serves as an expected part of the behavior change process and provides an opportunity to learn and restart progress toward change.
Transtheoretical Model Stages Sequence
- The correct sequence of stages is: Precontemplation -> Contemplation -> Preparation -> Action -> Maintenance.
