Icek Azjen, Marten Fisbhein

A

rational choice theory

Intention

(TRA/TPB)

A

•Intention - the decision to perform the behavior.

•The likelihood that an individual will engage in a health risk reduction depends on:

  • how much he is convinced that health behaviors will prevent risk
  • the degree to which he/she perceives that the benefits outweigh the costs.
17
Q

Self-Determination Theory

A
  • Humanistic theory of motivation and well-being
  • Central premise is that individuals have innate tendencies toward personal growth and vitality that are either satisfied or thwarted by their immediate environment
  • The optimal conditions for promoting motivation and well being are those that meet psychological needs for competence, relatedness, and autonomy
18
Q

Intrinsic motivation

A

Behavior that is energized by the pleasure derived from engaging in the activity itself

19
Q

Extrinsic motivation

A

Behavior that is energized by external contingencies such as attaining reward, avoiding threats, gaining recognition, or conforming to some prevailing value.

20
Q

Applying SDT to Healthcare

Autonomy

Competence

Relatedness

A
  • Autonomy – most health-related behaviors aren’t inherently enjoyable, so if they are to be successfully initiated and maintained, the patient must value them and personally endorse their importance •
  • Competence – the patient needs skills and tools for change, as well as recognition and support for competent behaviors •
  • Relatedness – mutual trust and respect promotes internalization, openness to information, and compliance with recommendation
21
Q

Trans-theoretical Model of Behavior Change (TTM)

A
  • Describes change as a process, not an event
  • People change incrementally in stages, and they do not move linearly from stage to stage

(typically they progress and then recycle back to previous stage before moving forward again)

22
Q

Common Sense Model of self-regulation (CSM)

A

Model of the cognitive and affective mechanisms underlying chronic illness management

  • People develop “common sense” understandings of their illness or diagnosis called illness representations
  • People select treatment based on common sense match between perceived cause of illness and treatment perceived as most likely to address it
  • People respond to illness representation with action planning/coping
  • People compare coping strategies to expected outcome (appraisal), evaluate, and then make changes to representations and strategies as needed
