Q

Cons of the behavioural change model

A

Does not take holistic health into consideration. It usually focuses on the targeted individuals in the community instead of their interactions with others.

Doesn’t always have the potential to make long term changes in lives

Can be easily ignored if it is not memorable or enough for people to actually make a change in their behaviours

Commonly focuses on fixing the damage made by the health problem (bandaid approach) instead of the factors that contribute to the issue

Doesn’t take health determinants into consideration and could just blame the people for the issue

One size fits all approach

22
Q

Self empowerment model

A

Focuses largely on the individual, giving them the confidence and helping them to make a change in their, or others, life

It encourages them to change their views and helps affected people to know when, where, why, and how to get assistance as much as possible in their physical and social environment

Encourages people to act with autonomy and independence whilst enhancing resilience + empowering them at a personal level

23
Q

Pros of the self empowerment model

A

Develops a sense of identity, self awareness, clarifies their own values, and an opportunity for individuality

Recognises the determinants of health are beyond one’s control but helps to change the determinants in relation to that one person

Gives resources on how to actually change their behaviour, allowing individuals to improve their health literacy

24
Q

Cons of the self empowerment model

A

Doesn’t make a collective difference in society as it focuses mostly on individual health

25
Q

Collective action

A

A model which considers the health of a specific group / whole community in relation to the determinants of heath and using collective action to bring about a positive change to the conditions that affect health. It requires democratic / legislation processes and participation ‘by all for all’ to empower individuals and communities.

It uses a social action process to work with others using community centered development. It encourages people to think critically. It works with vulnerable groups to look at the issue according to relevant determinants of health, working with those affected to identity needs, plans, actions, develop policies to address the issue and provide support for targeted groups.

Q

Q

Overarching idea about the use of the BC, SE and CA model in a health promotion

A

That the more models that are involved, the more likely the campaign will be effective as more areas and communities will be covered, catering towards more people to improve health literacy

29
Q

Why only a BC model may not be effective

A

Because people could see the promotion and not think it relates to them or know what to do. It also implies the person is doing something wrong and is up to them to make a change without considering the health determinants which can be out of their control

30
Q

Why CA models are effective

A

They address the factors involved that cause the issue in the first place. Action takes place at various levels, government, policy, community, and at an individual level.
