What is the Health belief model? |
-The HBM predicts that behaviour is a result of a set of core beliefs - initially developed as a theory in the 1950's to explain the widespread failure to take part in the preventative healthy campaigns such as the free tuberculosis screenings |
|
|
Explain Hochbaum's Survey ? |
- carried out research on 1200 adults living in cities that had recently been introduced the tuberculosis screening programme - He identified 2 key behaviours that 80% that believed they were at personal risk at catching it or if they believed early detection and treatment was going to be effective went for screening - 20% who held neither of those beliefs went for screening |
|
|
Who developed the HBM and when? |
- Becker et al in 1978 -extended hochbaums research to all types of health behaviours not just screening for tuberculosis. |
|
|
Explain The components of the HBM in Becker et al (1978) ? |
- Perceived susceptibility - Perceived severity - Perceived benefits - perceived barriers - cues to action - self- efficacy |
|
|
Explain and gives examples of : Perceived Susceptibility |
One's belief of the chances of getting a condition, for example: "my chances of getting lung cancer are high" " my chances are high of getting STIs or HIV or creating a pregnancy" |
|
|
Explain and gives examples of : Perceived Severity |
One's belief of how serious a condition and its consequences are, for example: "lung cancer is a serious illness" "Youth believe that the consequences of getting STIs or HIV or creating a pregnancy are significant enough to try to avoid" |
|
|
Explain and give examples of : Perceived Benefits |
The individuals perception of how effective they think a preventable action will be at reducing the susceptibility and severity of a health problem. "Youth believe that the recommended action of using condoms would protect them from getting STIs or HIV or creating a pregnancy " "stopping smoking will prevent me from getting lung cancer" |
|
|
Explain and give examples of: Perceived Barriers |
The individuals perception of how inconvenient the preventative action is in terms of time, effort, expense, side effects, social embarrassment for example: don't want to be seen going to get a preventative action |
|
