Jerri Jo,
You did a really nice job explaining the Integrated Theory of Health Behavior Change (ITHBC). I appreciated that you applied it to your DNP project! I found another study with the goal of testing the ITHBC within the setting of postpartum weight self-management. They also addressed the impact of race/ethnicity and pre-pregnant weight classification. The study used a survey that measured concepts from the ITHBC. These included knowledge and beliefs (self-efficacy, outcome expectancy and goal congruence), self-regulation skills and abilities, and social facilitation (support and influence), and the proximal outcome of weight retention. The interaction effects of theoretical concepts, race and prepregnancy weight classification on postpartum
