Health promotion model is one of the significant models in nursing theories because it encourages people to protect their health or lifestyle based on appropriate methods. Health promotion model can improve patient’s behavior and also prevent infections. It makes change in quality of life and behavior. Health promotion model is available for health education, research and practice. In the health promotion model, nurses have to follow client’s behavior, not just to prevent disease.…
This model is used as framework to understand individual’s psychological intentions, beliefs, to take action regarding their health. Constructs that can be used for this scenario would be perceived benefits and cues to action. By using these constructs, there will be a raised awareness and motivation to take action and reduce risk of heath conditions. The scenario given to us is: a group of women who have recently given birth and would like to loose weight. They are from the middle class and live in the suburbs of a large city.…
I have chosen an article from the Journal of Health and Social Behavior entitled Revisiting the Behavioral Model and Access to Medical Care: Does it Matter? The main subject of this article is to review the model of health services’ use that has dominated in the author’s career. The theoretical approach is knowledge possessed by the author of the model used in his line of work and a question of if any model matters more than another. The data-collection technique used was research of the model of health services. The main finding is that the model of health services is still used today because the individual is a unit of analysis.…
According to Pender (2011), the theoretical propositions of the HPM, “provide a basis for investigative work on health behaviors” (p.5). This meshes well with this prospectus, for the intervention that will be studied is a health promoting after-school program with a curriculum regarding health behaviors, such as physical activity and nutrition. There are 14 theoretical propositions within the HPM. The assumptions described previously are included within these propositions. The theoretical constructs include the following aspects: past behaviors, genetic and learned traits, influencers of both interpersonal and environmental facets, perceptions of ability and inability, commitment facilitators and barriers, and the ability to modify one’s behavior…
Hispanics are the largest ethnic minority group in the United States. According to data published by the Pew Research Center (Hispanic Population Trends Project 2014), Hispanics account for about 17% of the U.S. population and they are expected to surpass Whites by 2050. Similar to the immigrant groups at the turn of the 20th century, a large number of adult Hispanics are foreign born, do not speak standard American English (41%), and must go through the acculturation process to merge into society1. Hispanics have long experienced racialized discrimination and segregation in the United States. Hispanics are the second most segregated group following African Americans2.…
The Health Belief Model was a psychological health behavior change model developed as a way to explain and predict behaviors related to health especially as it pertains to the uptake of health related services. The health belief model was developed in the 1950s by social psychologists at the U.S. Public Health Service and modified further by Marshall H Becker in 1974. This model is still widely used today and has been responsible for the promotion of greater condom use, seat belt use, medical compliance, and health screening use. The Health Belief Model is based on the understanding that an individual will take a health-related action such as, use condoms, if that person feels that a negative health condition (i.e., HIV) can be avoided, has…
Conceptual-Theoretical-Empirical (C-T-E) system based practice is a well-defined way to steer knowledge that is detailed to the discipline of nursing, by means of nursing conceptual depictions and nursing theories (Fawcett & DeSanto-Madeya, 2013). The use of C-T-E system in the field of nursing practice involves a tremendous level of critical creativity, clinical decision making, implication of proper psychomotor capabilities, ethnically sensitive personal dealings, and nursing care, therefore the uses of the C-T-E system based practice is pertinent to the doctoral prepared nurse practitioner (Fawcett & DeSanto-Madeya, 2013). According to Fawcett and DeSanto-Madeya (2013) the C-T-E system based practice assists nurses to comprehend important…
There are two main theoretical-behavioral models that have been used in attempts to explain adherence to health behavior. The first are the continuum theories, there are four of them and they follow the “one size fits all” method. The health behavior model uses the combination of four beliefs to explain adherence. The beliefs are: the perceived susceptibility and severity of disease or disability as well as the perception of health benefits and potential barriers. The issue with this model is that it focuses entirely on motives and beliefs about personal control and not on behavior factors.…
Introduction The health belief model (HBM) is a theory of health behavior and is one that is most widely used and recognized today (Butts & Rich, 2015). The (HBM) was developed by a group of social psychologists in the 1950’s they were employed by the U.S. Public Health Services and were searching for ways to explain why people would not participate in health prevention or promotion programs (Butts & Rich, 2015). The social psychologist begins to explore what were barriers for not participating in the preventive programs (Butts & Rich, 2015).…
The health behavior that I am choosing to modify is to increase the time I spend engaging in physical activity, daily. In doing so I plan to monitor the days out of the week and amount of time per day that I will engage in a form of exercise. As a first course of action, I am setting a realistic goal. I want to engage in physical activities for a minimum of 30 minutes per day. One of steps of the health behavior model is perceived susceptibility, which means understanding my attitude regarding how likely I am to engage in physical activity.…
The model is used to measure a person’s background and perceived perceptions of self among other factors to predict health behaviors. The HPM satisfactorily pulls together all the factors that can inspire a person to improve their health. Analysis of the model also shows that self-efficacy and the behavior specific cognitions are reinforced as a predictive variable in multiple studies. The model is easily understood, and the key concepts are clear. The descriptions of the concepts are in an uncomplicated form and are understood by all health professionals.…
Discuss the impact and continuing influence or predictability for further development. The Health Belief Model (HBM) continues to be used to explain preventive and health promotion behaviors, as well as, sick-role behaviors (Pender, 2016). In general, the individual constructs of the model can predict behavior when the goal is prevention of a negative outcome, which is consistent with the original purpose of the model to predict the adoption of preventable behaviors. However, there are also limitations of the model which limit its utility in public health.…
(2011) the main strength of the Health Belief model is that it appeals to the common-sense view, whereby it is understood by nearly all people, and it is logical as well. This statement is also supported by Abraham and Sheeran (2005). Because this model is so straightforward and easy to understand it also makes understanding smoking behaviour easier to understand. When compared to the Theory of Planned Behaviour (Conner and Sparks, 2005) the Health Belief model is also less complex. The Theory of planned behaviour suggests that behaviour is determined by intentions, and intentions are based on attitudes, subjective norms and perceived behavioural control.…
As a social cognition model of health behaviours, this theory observes how well numerous factors linked to health beliefs could potentially predict intentions to alter health behaviours. In addition, the model is used in practice for predicting health behaviours (Rosenstock,1966). Nowadays the HBM is the most broadly used conceptual framework in health psychology (Carpenter, 2010). Keenness to attain precautionary health care in the HBM is formed by originally four core beliefs. Although, in later times, Rosentock and colleagues (1988) included self-efficacy as a core factor to further develop the explanation of individual differences in changes among health behaviours, making the five core beliefs a foundation for the HBM.…
Introduction The Holistic Model defines health as a state of complete physical, social, spiritual and mental hauroa (Davies, 2013). Health Promotion is one of the five-core functions of public health in New Zealand (Davies, 2013). The process of health promotion is to facilitate people, to increase control over, and to improve their overall health and wellbeing (Green & Raeburn, 1998). Health promotion does not focus merely on the individual but moves beyond to focus on a range of environmental and social interventions (World Health Organization, 2004). Health promotion practice has an important and specialised role in society, to maintain and improve health.…
