Document Summary
Higher self-efficacy associated with greater likelihood to perform these behaviours . Nutrition: ability to shop for, prepare, and eat healthy foods, lose weight. Diabetes care: proper diet, exercise, testing glucose. Other behaviours : substance disuse/relapse smoking, alcohol, etc, self-examination behaviours, flossing, condom use. Increase confidence to perform health behaviours: target 4 sources of self-efficacy. Gives clear guidance on how to change behaviours. Effective at predicting a wide variety of behaviours. Applicable primarily to new, challenging behaviours and complex behaviours: when behaviour is familiar/habit, or simple, not as good a predictor. Complexity of theory: most research examines only one or two constructs at a time. Assumption: beliefs about health underlie health behaviours. Perceived effectiveness of behaviour to reduce threat. Perceived susceptibility: belief of vulnerability to disease, how likely it is they will get disease/condition. Perceived severity: belief in the seriousness of condition and its consequences. Event/trigger to serve as reminder of potential health problem.
