The document discusses the stages of change model for dealing with change. It describes the three stages as:
1) Unfreezing, where one realizes a change is needed due to internal or external factors.
2) Changing, where one takes action to implement the desired change through random or planned approaches despite uncertainty.
3) Refreezing, where the new behavior replaces the old and becomes standard through acceptance.
Chap. 5 theories of literacy developmentTele Caster
1. The document discusses several theories of literacy development including Piaget's Theory of Cognitive Development, Maturation Theory, Holdaway's Theory of Literacy Development, Stage Models of Reading, Emergent Literacy Theory, and Family Literacy Theory.
2. These theories explain the stages and processes through which children's literacy abilities emerge and develop from infancy through adulthood.
3. The theories aim to help educators understand how children's thinking and literacy skills change over time so they can best support literacy development.
The document discusses using the Transtheoretical Model (TTM) to promote behavior change for climate change adaptation. [1] The TTM describes how people modify behaviors through stages of change: precontemplation, contemplation, preparation, action, and maintenance. [2] People progress between stages as the perceived pros of changing outweigh the cons (decisional balance) and their confidence in making changes grows (self-efficacy). [3] Different processes of change like consciousness raising and self-liberation can effectively promote progression between stages.
This document discusses the Transtheoretical Model of behavior change, also known as the Stages of Change Model. It describes the five stages of change that individuals progress through when modifying a problem behavior: pre-contemplation, contemplation, preparation, action, and maintenance. For each stage, goals for the patient and physician are provided, as well as approaches and techniques. The model was developed by Prochaska and DiClemente to understand how individuals intentionally change behaviors. The stages are not linear, as relapse can occur. The document also reviews the Decisional Balance technique, a counseling approach used to help patients weigh the pros and cons of behavior change.
1. The document discusses strategies for motivating patients to change unhealthy behaviors through the principles of motivational interviewing. It describes motivational interviewing as a technique that involves expressing empathy, developing discrepancy between current behaviors and goals, rolling with resistance, and supporting self-efficacy.
2. Key models of how people change are reviewed, including the stages of change model which identifies pre-contemplation, contemplation, preparation, action, and maintenance as stages in the process of behavior change.
3. Specific strategies are provided to motivate change through setting simple goals, providing education, making community connections, hosting workshops, assigning homework, keeping in touch with patients, and eliminating obstacles to change.

During his last visit a patient with diabetes is told he needs to start exercising as part of his treatment. You have earlier rolled with resistance and empathized with him. To support his self-efficacy, what is an appropriate response?
– “What are your thoughts about your exercise program?”
– “You really need to do it, not just think about it”
– “Getting into a regular exercise routine will help you”
– “Good. What kind of exercise have you thought about?”
The best response is: "What are your thoughts about your exercise program?" This supports self-efficacy by allowing the patient to express himself without being directive.

Health Behavior
Change
The Transtheoretical Model (TTM) posits that health behavior change involves progressing through six stages: precontemplation, contemplation, preparation, action, maintenance, and relapse prevention. It assumes that people move through these stages of change and that different processes of change are involved at each stage. The ten processes of change include consciousness raising, dramatic relief, self-reevaluation, environmental reevaluation, social liberation, self-liberation, helping relationships, counter conditioning, reinforcement management, and stimulus control. The TTM aims to understand intentional behavioral changes like quitting smoking and recognizes that falling back to earlier stages is part of the process of change.
The document discusses lifestyle changes for diabetes management and self-care behaviors. It covers assessing diabetes problems, improving patient compliance, techniques for behavior change, stages of lifestyle change, making lifestyle changes through enhancing motivation and conviction/confidence, and advancing skills to maintain lifestyle changes through controlling cues, problem solving, cognitive change, relapse prevention, avoiding boredom, coping, and social support.

The process of change involves three steps
Unfreezing: Faced with a dilemma or disconfirmation, the individual or group becomes aware of a need to change.
Changing: The situation is diagnosed and new models of behavior are explored and tested.
Refreezing: Application of new behavior is evaluated, and if reinforcing, adopted.

The document summarizes the Transtheoretical Model (TTM), which is a leading theory of behavior change. The TTM proposes that behavior change involves progress through six stages: precontemplation, contemplation, preparation, action, maintenance, and termination. It also identifies processes of change - techniques and strategies - that are most effective for facilitating movement between the stages. The TTM has been widely researched and applied to interventions for health behaviors like smoking cessation and weight management. It provides a framework for tailoring interventions to individuals' readiness to change.
The document discusses theories of organizational change including Lewin's three-stage theory of change (unfreezing, moving, refreezing) and Lippitt's seven stages of change. It also discusses principles of organizational change including the principle of self-creation and binary modes of existence. Resistance to change is discussed as being caused by the energy required to adapt or resist change and the uncertainty about outcomes of change initiatives. Planned change is described as occurring in three stages - unfreezing, moving, and refreezing.
This document provides information on change management for playworkers. It discusses theories of planned and emergent change, as well as models for managing change including Lewin's three-step model of unfreezing, moving, and refreezing. It also covers identifying and addressing resistance to change through analyzing driving and restraining forces. Tools for managing change such as process mapping, PDSA cycles, forcefield analysis, and the seven steps for improvement are also outlined. The document aims to equip playworkers with strategies and approaches for effectively leading and implementing change.
The document summarizes several prominent health behavior theories that are relevant for nursing practice and research. It describes theories such as the health belief model, social cognitive theory, transtheoretical model, and theories of reasoned action. Key concepts discussed include an individual's perceptions, self-efficacy, environmental influences, and how behavior change is best understood as a process rather than a single event. The theories provide guidance for nurses to enhance patient motivation and effectively support individuals through the various stages of behavior change.
This document discusses strategies for managing organizational change. It begins with an overview of the modules in a change management course, including the nature of planned change, organizational development, designing interventions, leading change, and continuous change. It then discusses why executing change is so challenging, noting that people resist unknown changes and focusing too much on implementation rather than results. The document provides strategies for successfully realizing results, such as decreasing resource demands and increasing organizational capacity and resilience. It distinguishes between managing change itself and managing the transition of people in response to change. Finally, it provides details on the typical steps involved in a change management process.
The Stages of Change The stages of change are Preconte.docxjoshua2345678
The Stages of Change
The stages of change are:
Precontemplation (Not yet acknowledging that there is a problem behavior that needs to
be changed)
Contemplation (Acknowledging that there is a problem but not yet ready or sure of
wanting to make a change)
Preparation/Determination (Getting ready to change)
Action/Willpower (Changing behavior)
Maintenance (Maintaining the behavior change) and
Relapse (Returning to older behaviors and abandoning the new changes)
Stage One: Precontemplation
In the precontemplation stage, people are not thinking seriously about changing and are not
interested in any kind of help. People in this stage tend to defend their current bad habit(s) and do
not feel it is a problem. They may be defensive in the face of other people’s efforts to pressure
them to quit.
They do not focus their attention on quitting and tend not to discuss their bad habit with others. In
AA, this stage is called “denial,” but at Addiction Alternatives, we do not like to use that term.
Rather, we like to think that in this stage people just do not yet see themselves as having a
problem.
Are you in the precontemplation stage? No, because the fact that you are reading this shows that
you are already ready to consider that you may have a problem with one or more bad habits.
(Of course, you may be reading this because you have a loved one who is still in the pre-
contemplation stage. If this is the case, keep reading for suggestions about how you can help
others progress through their stages of change)
Stage Two: Contemplation
In the contemplation stage people are more aware of the personal consequences of their bad
habit and they spend time thinking about their problem. Although they are able to consider the
possibility of changing, they tend to be ambivalent about it.
In this stage, people are on a teeter-totter, weighing the pros and cons of quitting or modifying
their behavior. Although they think about the negative aspects of their bad habit and the positives
associated with giving it up (or reducing), they may doubt that the long-term benefits associated
with quitting will outweigh the short-term costs.
It might take as little as a couple weeks or as long as a lifetime to get through the contemplation
stage. (In fact, some people think and think and think about giving up their bad habit and may die
never having gotten beyond this stage)
On the plus side, people are more open to receiving information about their bad habit, and more
likely to actually use educational interventions and reflect on their own feelings and thoughts
concerning their bad habit.
Stage Three: Preparation/Determination
In the preparation/determination stage, people have made a commitment to make a change.
Their motivation for changing is reflected by statements such as: “I’ve got to do something about
this — this is serious. Something has to change. What can I do?”
This is sort of a .

Nam Final Project Module
1. STAGES OF CHANGE THEORY
OTHERWISE KNOWN AS THE
TRANSTHEORETICAL MODEL
by
Kelli Nam
2. Overview
• The target audience of this module is undergraduate college
students in a health promotion and disease prevention class
• The importance of theory in health promotion
• The purpose of the Stages of Change Theory
• Stages of Change Theory constructs
• Readiness for change with addictions
• A readiness for change addiction example
• A readiness for change health behavior example
• Theory limitations
• A theory limitation example
• The relapse stage is now accounted for
3. Theory in Health Promotion
In the field of health education and health promotion,
theory allows for:
• Best practices
• Providing a framework for the development of health
programs
• Shaping the direction for program goals
• Guiding the evaluation of health conditions and
behaviors
• Enhancing the predictability and applicability of health
promotion practices and campaigns
4. Stages of Change Theory: Purpose
• The Stages-of-Change perspective recognizes that people
are at different stages of readiness when it comes to giving
up addictions or making other health behavior changes
• Individuals at different stages may be receptive to
different types of health intervention messages
• A different health advocacy strategy is needed for
someone who has no intention of changing his or her
behavior compared to someone with a positive intention
to change his or her behavior
13. Stages of Change Theory: Examples
• In health promotion and health risk prevention, this
theory can be used to gauge one’s readiness for
change, particularly with addictions
• Smoking
• Alcohol Abuse
• Substance Abuse
• Overeating
14. Readiness for Change: Smoking
Smoking Example

Addiction Example Quiz
16. Readiness for Change: Behavior Example
• In health promotion and health risk prevention, this
theory can be used to assess one’s intention for
behavior change
• Eating healthier
• Exercising
• Getting a health screening
17. Stages of Change Theory: Limitations
• Individuals can move between any of the stages multiple
times. (For example, an individual can move between
contemplation and preparation multiple times before Precontemplat
ion
moving on to taking action) Maintenance Contemplation
Action Preparation
• An individual does not have to progress through the stages
in a linear order, as the original visual of the model
suggests
Precontemplation
Contemplation
Preparation
Action
Maintenance
• In the original model, relapse is not listed as a stage,
though in real life, relapse is a possibility for individuals
18. Stages of Change Theory: Relapse Included
Precontemplation
Relapse Contemplation
Maintenance Preparation
Action
