THEORETICAL MODELS/APPROACHES

A. HEALTH BELIEF MODEL

 It was initially proposed in 1958 by group of social psychologists -- Irwin M. Rosenstock, Godfrey M. Hochbaum, Stephen Kegeles, and Howard Leventhal at the U. Public Health.  This was developed by the group of psychologists to explain why the public failed to participate in the screening for tuberculosis. (Hochbaum,1958)  It provides the basis for the practice of HEALTH EDUCATION and HEALTH PROMOTION  It is the one of the most widely used conceptual framework in health behavior to be able to

explain behavior change and maintenance of behavior change and to guide health promotion interventions.  It includes different key concepts - perceived susceptibility, perceived severity, perceived benefits, perceived barriers, cues to action, self-efficacy.

KEY CONCEPTS

Perceived susceptibility - One's belief regarding the chance of getting a disease  Perceived severity - One's belief regarding the seriousness of given condition  Perceived benefits - One's belief in the ability of an advised action to reduce the health risk or seriousness of a given condition  Perceived barriers - One's belief regarding the tangible and psychological costs of an advised action  Cues to action - Strategies or conditions in one's environment that activate readiness to act  Self-efficacy - One's confidence in one's ability to act to reduce health risks.

Kurt Lewin's work lent itself to the model's core dimensions. He proposed that behavior is based on current dynamics confronting an individual rather than prior experiences

The Health Belief Model assumes that the major dominant of preventive health behavior is disease avoidance.

Disease avoidance includes:  perceived susceptibility to disease "X"  perceived seriousness of disease "X"  modifying factors

from actual and perceived options available as well as beliefs and Expectations developed from socialization, education and experience.

Organizational decisions and policies (both governmental and nongovernmental) sets the range of options available to individuals and populations and influence choices.

Individual choices related to health promotion or health damaging behaviors are influenced by efforts to maximized valued resources. Alteration in patterns of behavior resulting from decision making or a significant number of people in a population can result in social change.

Without concurrent availability of alternative health promoting options for investments of personal resources, health education will be largely ineffective in changing behavior patterns.

C. PENDER’S HEALTH PROMOTION MODEL

NOLA J. PENDER Living legend of the American Academy of Nursing  A nursing theorist who developed the Health Promotion Model.  An author and a professor emeritus of nursing at the University of Michigan.  Started studying health- promoting behavior in the mid- 1970s and first published the Health Promotion Model in 1982.

THE HEALTH PROMOTION MODEL

 Originally published in 1982 and later improved in 1996 and 2002.  It explores many biopsychosocial factors that influence individuals to pursue health promotion activities.  Does not include threat as a motivator, as threat may not be a

motivating factor for clients in all age groups.  Was designed to be a “complementary counterpart to models of health protection.”

Purpose: To help nurses know and understand the major determinants of health behaviors as a foundation for behavioral counseling to promote well- being and healthy lifestyles.

Defines health as “a positive dynamic state not merely the absence of disease”. It describes the multi- dimensional nature of persons as they interact within the environment to pursue health.

Health Promotion It is an approach to wellness Health Protection Focuses on illness prevention

The health promotion model focuses in the following areas:

INDIVIDUAL CHARACTERISTIC AND EXPERIENCES PRIOR RELATED BEHAVIOR

Personal Factors

Prior behaviors influence subsequent behavior through perceived self- efficacy, benefits, barriers, and affects related to that activity. Strong indicator: Habit

Biological Factors: Age, body mass index, strength, and agility. Psychological Factors: Self- esteem, self- motivation, and perceived health status. Sociocultural Factors: Race, ethnicity, acculturation, education, and socioeconomic

status. BEHAVIOR-SPECIFIC COGNITIONS AND AFFECT Perceived benefits of action Strong motivators of the behavior. These motivate behavior through intrinsic and extrinsic benefits

Perceived barriers to action Perceived unavailability, inconvenience, expense, difficulty, or time regarding health behaviors. Perceived self - efficacy One’s belief that he or she is capable of carrying out a health behavior.

BEHAVIORAL OUTCOME Health - promoting behavior

This is the goal of the Health Promotion Model. To attain positive health outcomes. Immediate competing demands And preferences Alternate behaviors that one considers as possible optional behaviors immediately prior to engaging in the intended, planned behavior.

Commitment to a plan of action

Initiates a behavioral event. This commitment will compel one into the behavior until completed, unless a competing demand or preference intervenes.

PERCEDE-PROCEED MODEL

  • provides a model for community assessment, health education planning and evaluation Behind PRECEDE-PROCEED lie some assumptions about the prevention of illness and promotion of health, and by extension, about community as well. These include:

  • PRECEDE-PROCEED model should be a participatory process.

  • Health is, by its very nature, a community issue.

  • Health is an integral part of a larger context, probably most clearly defined as the quality of life, and it's within that context that must be considered.

  • Health is more than physical well- being, or the absence of disease, illness, or injury.

SOCIAL ASSESSMENT

  • Determine the social problems and needs of a given population and identify desired results. EPIDEMIOLOGICAL ASSESSMENT Identify the health determinants of the identified problems and set priorities and goals ECOLOGICAL ASSESSMENT
