Block 2 Flashcards
Key elements to behavioural change
Threat, fear, barriers/benefits, subjective norms, response efficacy, attitudes, cognitions (awareness of thought), intentions, cues to action.
COM B Model
Capability, Opportunity and Motivation to Behaviour
Health Belief Model
Perceived Susceptibility and Severity = Perceived Threat
Perceived Benefits and Barriers = Perceived efficacy
Perceived efficacy and threat = health behaviour
What influences the perceived threat in the HBM?
Education
Define behaviourism
Scientific study of how reward and punishment affect emotion and behaviour e.g. Conditioning Pavlov’s dogs
Define social psychology
Scientific study of the way in which people’s thoughts, feeling and actions are influenced by social environment e.g. Milgram’s Obedience Study
4 models for Social Cognition Theories
Health Belief Model, Theory of Planned Behaviour, Transtheoretical Model and COM-B Model
What is a criticism of the HBM?
Doesn’t take into account the influence of others, social environments and interactions
Explain the Theory of Planned Behaviour (TPB)
- Behavioural beliefs and Outcome evaluation = Behavioural attitude
- Normative beliefs and Motivation to comply = Subjective Norm
- Control beliefs and Self-efficacy = Perceived Behavioural Control
- BA, SN and PBC = Behavioural Intention
- PBC and BI = Behaviour
Explain Transtheoretical Model (Stages of Change)
- Precontemplation
- Contemplation
- Preparation
- Action
- Maintenance
- Relapse
What can be used to design interventions?
The behaviour change wheel:
- COM
- Intervention techniques
- Policy changes
Define disease prevention
Actions aimed at eradicating, eliminating, or minimising the impact of disease and disability, or if none of these is feasible, retarding the progress of disease and disability
Define health promotion
Actions aimed at increasing the control people have over their health and its determinants, thereby improving health. This involves positive and inclusive model of health, including physical, mental and spiritual wellbeing.
Define primary disease prevention
Prevention of the spread of disease and contraction of such it in the first place. Eg. Immunisation, health education in schools.
Define secondary primary disease prevention
Screening programme to catch and treat disease before it progresses/shows any signs and symptoms. Eg. Breast/prostate cancer screening.
