Name the 6 stages in the ‘stages of change’ model

Why might people not want to change?
4
Unrealistic optimism e.g
- Lack of personal experience of problem
- Belief that behaviour preventable
- Belief that as problem has not yet occurred, it will not happen
- Belief that problem is infrequent
Does evoking fear work?
NO - if in pre contemplation stage then may cause avoidance and fatalism reactions e.g going to die anyway so might as well
How may fear appeals be improved?
- By informing patients of ways to reduce the threat
- By emphasising that the threat is imminent by providing information
What may a patient be doing in the contemplation stage?
Weighing up pros and cons
- perceived benefits and threats of action
What is ambivalence?
Being unable to decide after weighing up pros and cons
What is the ‘reactance theory’?
‘Nobody tells me what to do’ attitude

What is ‘motivational interviewing’?
- Collaborative
- Goal orientated
- Language of change

3) How might you go about doing it?
4) Scale 0-10 how important to make the change
5) Scale 0-10 how confident that you will make change
How can you support preparation stage and reinforce self efficacy?
1) Discuss how cope with future challenges/what to do if feel may lapse
2) Where to find guidance/ideas/social support

Setting SMART goals can bridge the intention - behaviour gap.
What does SMART stand for?
S - Specific M - Measurable A - Achievable R - Relevant T - Time dependant
What is the different between a LAPSE and a RELAPSE?
Lapse = just a slip Relapse = Back round to start of cycle
Stage 5 maintenance.
