Q

How does other people’s behaviour influence our own?

Q

Who can influence socially learned behaviour?

A

Family can often show us behaviour that we believe we can re-enact.

Celebrities play a key role in demonstrating “high value” behaviour.

17
Q

What to social cognition models do?

A

They focus on cognitive factors in health-related behaviour - including: knowledge, beliefs, attitudes, and expectations

19
Q

Whet are the limitations of the Health Belief Model?

A
  • Rationale and reasoning - often consequences are only thought about after the action.
  • Decisions - habit, conditioned behaviour, and coercion can affect them.
  • Doesn’t consider emotional factors - e.g. Fear
  • Incomplete - self-efficacy and broader social factors not considered
20
Q

Outline the theory of Planned Behaviour using a diagram

A

insert diagram here

21
Q

What is the limitation of the Theory of Planned Behaviour?

A

It is a good predictor of intentions but a poor predictor of behaviour.

The problem comes in translating intentions into actions.

22
Q

What is the Stages of Change (Transtheoretical) model?

A

A model of 5 stages which people may pass through over time in decision making about changing their behaviour.

23
Q

Why is it important to consider the transtheoretical model when looking at Health Behaviour?

A

Because the way people think about health behaviours and their willingness to change their behaviour are not static.

24
Q

How may the different stages of the transtheoretical model affect health behaviour?

A

Different cognitions may be important determinants of health behaviour at different times.

26
Q

Describe a person’s attitude to changing their behaviour in the pre-contemplation stage.

A

They are not considering changing their behaviour.

27
Q

Describe a person’s attitude to changing their behaviour in the contemplation stage.

Q

Describe a person’s attitude to changing their behaviour in the preparation stage.

Q

Describe a person’s attitude to changing their behaviour in the action stage.

A

The person has made the change in their behaviour for the short term.

30
Q

Describe a person’s attitude to changing their behaviour in the maintenence stage.

A

The action taken to change the behaviour is consolidated and maintained in the long term.

31
Q

Describe relapse with relation to the transtheoretical model.

A

A person can relapse back to their previous behaviour at any point and may need to run through the cycle once more.

32
Q

What is the importance of recognising relapse?

A

It normalises it as part of the process and encourages people not to give up after a relapse.

33
Q

Why is it important for a healthcare professional to consider a patients stage in the transtheoretical model when providing assistance?

A

The intervention provided must be appropriate for the stage the person is at.

34
Q

What strategies can be used to encourage positive changes in health behaviour?

A

Information - health education, health promotion.

Behavioural skills and resources e.g. Smoking cessation programmes, exercise advice

Incentives e.g. Financial incentives

35
Q

What is motivational interviewing?

A

Motivational interviewing is a client-centred, directive method for enhancing intrinsic motivation to change by exploring and resolving ambivalence.
