The document summarizes two objective personality tests: the MMPI/MMPI-2 and the NEO-PI-R. It describes the development and components of each test, including their scales, norms, reliability, validity, applications, and limitations. The MMPI/MMPI-2 was developed using empirical criterion keying and assesses various symptoms of psychopathology. The NEO-PI-R measures the five factor model of personality and was developed using rational-empirical construction to emphasize construct validity. Both tests have demonstrated reliability and validity but also have limitations such as lack of validity scales for the NEO-PI-R.
The document summarizes a research study on anger management problems among teens. It explores the causes of teen anger, how teens express anger, and potential solutions. The study involved surveying 50 high school students about their experiences with anger. It found that peer pressure, family problems, social relationships, and academic problems can cause teen anger. Many teens reported opening up to others or being alone as ways to deal with anger. The study recommends teaching teens healthy coping skills like talking through problems or praying to manage anger. It also suggests parents and teachers be supportive and allow teens to openly discuss their feelings.
The "Wounded Healer" or the "Worried Well"? What We Know About Graduate Stu...James Tobin, Ph.D.
Doctoral programs consistently struggle with professional competence among their trainees, and numerous studies report significant numbers of expulsions from graduate study based on academic or nonacademic grounds. Widely attributed to Jung (1951), the wounded healer archetype assumes that clinicians, like all persons, have been negatively impacted by their personal histories, traumas, and interpersonal stressors. According to co-authors James Tobin and Anya Oleynik, a key role and responsibility of graduate programs in the helping professions and advanced training sites involves not only a gatekeeping function, but the capacity to identify and remediate students whose own personal challenges may be effectively resolved and transformed into the strengths ascribed to the wounded healer ideal.
This document discusses critical thinking skills needed for psychological research. It explains that critical thinking involves evaluating evidence from research studies by examining the methodology, relating it to major debates, considering applications to society, and connecting it to other studies and levels of analysis in psychology. Specifically, critical analysis of a study involves assessing the strengths and limitations of its methods, ethics, reliability, and validity.
The course of illness can be influenced by biological, psycholog.docxrtodd643
The course of illness can be influenced by biological, psychological, and/or social factors covering a broad range of topics that include stress, coping, and behaviors that either promote health and prevent illness, or contribute to the development of clinical problems. Health and wellness are important to our daily lives and this is true even in the context of being diagnosed with a chronic illness such as diabetes mellitus. The interplay between emotions, cognitive, and behavioral/physical factors can affect all aspects of health and illness. Individual differences such as culture, ethnicity, lifestyle, religion, gender, identity development, financial status, and social support should be considered when analyzing the individual’s response to a chronic illness. Numerous research studies have investigated the impact of one or more of these factors in terms of the effect on chronic disease outcomes. These outcomes can include symptom management and/or progression of the severity of the disease.
Explanatory theories often describe factors that contribute to health problems, or interfere with prevention activities, and thus provide targets for change. One such theory is the Health Belief Model (HBM) which addresses perceptions of the health problem. These perceptions include the degree of threat in terms of susceptibility and severity, any benefits to be obtained by avoiding the perceived threat, and various internal (e.g., self-efficacy) and external (e.g., barriers to care) factors that influence the individual’s decision to act. Other theories emphasize motivations that influence a continuum of stages of behavioral change. The Transtheoretical Model (TTM) of behavior change is a theory of this type. The response to chronic illness and the illness experience itself can be described by these models. In managing chronic disease, there are coping strategies and behavior changes that support optimal outcomes and therapeutic interventions can be designed for greater effectiveness by using these two models.
For your paper you will choose from the two options below. The option you choose will provide the focus and title for your paper.
Option A:
Diabetes Mellitus and the
Transtheoretical Model of Behavior Change
Option B:
Diabetes Mellitus and the
Health Belief Model
To support your work, you will perform research using the Ashford University Library and/or other search methods to provide references to support your work. You must include a minimum of three peer-reviewed sources, published within the past five years relating to diabetes mellitus and to either the Transtheoretical Model of Behavior Change (Option A) or the Health Belief Model (Option B). The use of additional scholarly and/or peer-reviewed references is highly recommended. These may be obtained from academic, professional, or governmental agency sources. Dictionaries, encyclopedias, non-academic websites, and media outlet sites or publications are not appropriate resour.

Introduction
Southern Texas encompasses different groups of people whose behavior, gender identity, and gender expression varies depending on cultural identity and norms. About a quarter of individuals in United States have a history or are experiencing a mental disorder with approximately 6% of the population having critical mental illness. These mental problems typically affect the general well-being of an individual. For instance, patients living with severe mental disorders are more likely to die in average of twenty-six years earlier than the average life expectanc ...

The title here must match the title on your title page. Your introduction follows the title of your paper (note that the title is not bolded). Note also that there is no heading that says Introduction. The paragraph or two that follows the title on the first page of your text is assumed to be your introduction. You should start your introduction with a powerful statement or two to stimulate interest. You should identify that the purpose of your paper is to explain the pathophysiological processes of a selected health condition, predict clinical manifestations and complications of the health condition, and correlate lifestyle, environmental, and other influences that will occur in your patient due to a change in their level of wellness. (See the “Purpose” and “Course Outcomes: in your guidelines.) Remember that formal papers are in third person, so no you, I, me, or we until you make a recommendation about your article. In this introduction, you should introduce the disease process that you are writing about in a paragraph of at least 200 words. You should include a description of the disease and the epidemiology of the disease. Epidemiology includes the overall incidence (who gets it) and distribution (where is it seen most often) of your chosen disease topic. An APA formatted citation for where you have found your information should be included.

How To Critique A Journal Article
Sponsored by The Center for Teaching and Learning at UIS
Last Edited 4/9/2009 Page 1 of 2
So your assignment is to critique a journal article. This handout will give you a few guidelines to
follow as you go. But wait, what kind of a journal article is it: an empirical/research article, or a
review of literature? Some of the guidelines offered here will apply to critiques of all kinds of
articles, but each type of article may provoke questions that are especially pertinent to that type
and no other. Read on.
First of all, for any type of journal article your critique should include some basic information:
1. Name(s) of the author(s)
2. Title of article
3. Title of journal, volume number, date, month and page numbers
4. Statement of the problem or issue discussed
5. The author’s purpose, approach or methods, hypothesis, and major conclusions.
The bulk of your critique, however, should consist of your qualified opinion of the article.
Read the article you are to critique once to get an overview. Then read it again, critically. At this
point you may want to make some notes to yourself on your copy (not the library’s copy,
please).
The following are some questions you may want to address in your critique no matter what type
of article you are critiquing. (Use your discretion. These points don’t have to be discussed in this
order, and some may not be pertinent to your particular article.)
1. Is the title of the article appropriate and clear?
2. Is the abstract specific, representative of the article, and in the correct form?
3. Is the purpose of the article made clear in the introduction?
4. Do you find errors of fact and interpretation? (This is a good one! You won’t believe how
often authors misinterpret or misrepresent the work of others. You can check on this by looking
up for yourself the references the author cites.)
5. Is all of the discussion relevant?
6. Has the author cited the pertinent, and only the pertinent, literature? If the author has included
inconsequential references, or references that are not pertinent, suggest deleting them.
7. Have any ideas been overemphasized or underemphasized? Suggest specific revisions.
8. Should some sections of the manuscript be expanded, condensed or omitted?
9. Are the author’s statements clear? Challenge ambiguous statements. Suggest by examples how
clarity can be achieved, but do not merely substitute your style for the author’s.
10. What underlying assumptions does the author have?
11. Has the author been objective in his or her discussion of the topic?
In addition, here are some questions that are more specific to empirical/research articles. (Again,
use your discretion.)
1. Is the objective of the experiment or of the observations important for the field?
2. Are the experimental methods described adequately?
3. Are the study design and methods appropriate for the purposes of the study?
4. Have the procedures ...
Write a 4-6 page evidence-based patient-centered care report on .docxjohnbbruce72945
Write a 4-6 page evidence-based patient-centered care report on the patient scenario presented in the Evidence-Based Health Evaluation and Application media piece. Base your report on the information provided by the traumatic brain injury expert from the population health improvement initiative (PHII) described in the media activity and your own evidence-based research on this population health issue.
In this assessment, you will apply evidence-based practice in patient-centered care and population health improvement contexts. You will be challenged to think critically, evaluate what the evidence suggests is an appropriate approach for a personalized patient care plan, and determine which aspects of the approach could be applied to similar situations and patients.
Demonstration of Proficiency
By successfully completing this assessment, you will demonstrate your proficiency in the following course competencies and assessment criteria:
Competency 1: Apply evidence-based practice to plan patient-centered care.
Evaluate the outcomes of a population health improvement initiative.
Develop a personalized patient care plan that incorporates lessons learned from a population health improvement initiative.
Competency 2: Apply evidence-based practice to design interventions to improve population health.
Propose a strategy for improving the outcomes of a population health improvement initiative, or for ensuring that all outcomes are being addressed, based on the best available evidence.
Competency 3: Evaluate outcomes of evidence-based interventions.
Propose an evaluation strategy for the outcomes of personalized patient care plan and determine what aspects of the approach could be applied to similar situations and patients.
Competency 4: Evaluate the value and relative weight of available evidence upon which to make a clinical decision.
Identify the level of evidence and describe the value and relevance it brings to personalized care for your patient.
Competency 5: Synthesize evidence-based practice and academic research to communicate effective solutions.
Write clearly and logically, with correct grammar and mechanics.
Integrate relevant and credible sources of evidence to support assertions, correctly formatting citations and references using APA style.
Scenario
The charge nurse in your clinic has contacted you to assume primary care for a patient and develop a plan for follow-up care. The plan should be personalized for him based on evidence-based research provided by a community expert as well as your own research on the condition. You will also be challenged to determine which aspects of the traumatic brain injury (TBI) approach could be applied to similar situations and patients.
Your Role
You are a nurse who has been requested to provide primary patient care, including a follow-up care plan. You will revisit the interview with the community TBI expert and prepare a personalized health pl.
The document provides instructions for a final paper assignment requiring students to write a psychological report evaluating a character from an approved movie or historical case study. The report must follow specific sections in this order: identifying information, chief complaint, symptoms, personal history, family history, therapy history, medical conditions, substance use, collateral, results of evaluation, diagnostic impression with differential justification, and recommendations. The paper must be in APA format, include references, and integrate knowledge of the character's cultural background throughout the analysis.
The PHII studied outcomes for older patients with TBI and/or PTSD. Exercise showed the strongest improvement in mood, memory and muscle control. Medication and therapy also improved outcomes. A small meditation group saw dramatic improvements. Not all interventions worked - memory exercises and strength training showed limited benefits. The PHII provides lessons that can help develop a personalized care plan for a patient with a history of moderate TBI.
CASE STUDYFemale, 15, separation anxiety disorder, Depression.docxbartholomeocoombs
CASE STUDY:
Female, 15, separation anxiety disorder, Depression
The patient is a fifteen-year-old female teenager who presents to the clinic with her mother for her first assessment. Patient is being referral to the clinic by the school counselor due to low grades and poor school assistance. During the session, both the patient and the mother are neatly dressed. Her mother seems to be worried about her daughter. The patient said, "I worry a lot about my family members. I fear that one day my parents will be abducted or fatally injured. The worries and fears make me have difficulties concentrating on personal well-being and my studies in school." The mental assessment shows that the patient is depressed, and she refuses to leave the proximity of her mother. Her mother says that her daughter has been experiencing depression or anxiety attacks. The physical assessment shows that the patient has been experiencing physical aches and pains. She maintains good eye contact. Her mood is a little anxious. The symptoms conclude that the patient has separation anxiety disorder because the symptoms have progressed for the past six months. Treatments include antidepressants, group therapy, family therapy, dialectical behavioral therapy, and cognitive-behavioral therapy. A follow-up is to be done in two weeks.
Assignment 2: Focused SOAP Note and Patient Case Presentation
Psychiatric notes are a way to reflect on your practicum experiences and connect them to the didactic learning you gain from your NRNP courses. Focused SOAP notes, such as the ones required in this practicum course, are often used in clinical settings to document patient care.
For this Assignment, you will document information about a patient that you examined during the last three weeks, using the Focused SOAP Note Template provided. You will then use this note to develop and record a case presentation for this patient.
To Prepare
· Present the full complex case study. Include chief complaint; history of present illness; any pertinent past psychiatric, substance use, medical, social, family history; most recent mental status exam; current psychiatric diagnosis including differentials that were ruled out; and plan for treatment and management.
· Report normal diagnostic results as the name of the test and “normal” (rather than specific value). Abnormal results should be reported as a specific value.
· Specifically address the following for the patient, using your SOAP note as a guide:
·
Subjective: What details did the patient provide regarding their chief complaint and symptomology to derive your differential diagnosis? What is the duration and severity of their symptoms? How are their symptoms impacting their functioning in life?
·
Objective: What observations did you make during the psychiatric assessment?
·
Assessment: Discuss their mental status examination results. What were your differential diagnoses? Provide a minimum o.

Read the article you are to critique once to get an overview. Then read it again, critically. At this
point you may want to make some notes to yourself on your copy (not the library’s copy,
please).
The following are some questions you may want to address in your critique no matter what type
of article you are critiquing. (Use your discretion. These points don’t have to be discussed in this
order, and some may not be pertinent to your particular article.)
1. Is the title of the article appropriate and clear?
2. Is the abstract specific, representative of the article, and in the correct form?
3. Is the purpose of the article made clear in the introduction?
4. Do you find errors of fact and interpretation? (This is a good one! You won’t believe how
often authors misinterpret or misrepresent the work of others. You can check on this by looking
up for yourself the references the author cites.)
5. Is all of the discussion relevant?
6. Has the author cited the pertinent, and only the pertinent, literature? If the author has included
inconsequential references, or references that are not pertinent, suggest deleting them.
7. Have any ideas been overemphasized or underemphasized? Suggest specific revisions.
8. Should some sections of the manuscript be expanded, condensed or omitted?
9. Are the author’s statements clear? Challenge ambiguous statements. Suggest by examples how
clarity can be achieved, but do not merely substitute your style for the author’s.
10. What underlying assumptions does the author have?
11. Has the author been objective in his or her discussion of the topic?
In addition, here are some questions that are more specific to empirical/research articles. (Again,
use your discretion.)
1. Is the objective of the experiment or of the observations important for the field?
2. Are the experimental methods described adequately?
3. Are the study design and methods appropriate for the purposes of the study?
4. Have the procedures ...

The charge nurse in your clinic has contacted you to assume primary care for a patient and develop a plan for follow-up care. The plan should be personalized for him based on evidence-based research provided by a community expert as well as your own research on the condition. You will also be challenged to determine which aspects of the traumatic brain injury (TBI) approach could be applied to similar situations and patients.
Your Role
You are a nurse who has been requested to provide primary patient care, including a follow-up care plan. You will revisit the interview with the community TBI expert and prepare a personalized health pl.
The document provides instructions for a final paper assignment requiring students to write a psychological report evaluating a character from an approved movie or historical case study. The report must follow specific sections in this order: identifying information, chief complaint, symptoms, personal history, family history, therapy history, medical conditions, substance use, collateral, results of evaluation, diagnostic impression with differential justification, and recommendations. The paper must be in APA format, include references, and integrate knowledge of the character's cultural background throughout the analysis.
The PHII studied outcomes for older patients with TBI and/or PTSD. Exercise showed the strongest improvement in mood, memory and muscle control. Medication and therapy also improved outcomes. A small meditation group saw dramatic improvements. Not all interventions worked - memory exercises and strength training showed limited benefits. The PHII provides lessons that can help develop a personalized care plan for a patient with a history of moderate TBI.

CASE STUDY:
Female, 15, separation anxiety disorder, Depression
The patient is a fifteen-year-old female teenager who presents to the clinic with her mother for her first assessment. Patient is being referral to the clinic by the school counselor due to low grades and poor school assistance. During the session, both the patient and the mother are neatly dressed. Her mother seems to be worried about her daughter. The patient said, "I worry a lot about my family members. I fear that one day my parents will be abducted or fatally injured. The worries and fears make me have difficulties concentrating on personal well-being and my studies in school." The mental assessment shows that the patient is depressed, and she refuses to leave the proximity of her mother. Her mother says that her daughter has been experiencing depression or anxiety attacks. The physical assessment shows that the patient has been experiencing physical aches and pains. She maintains good eye contact. Her mood is a little anxious. The symptoms conclude that the patient has separation anxiety disorder because the symptoms have progressed for the past six months. Treatments include antidepressants, group therapy, family therapy, dialectical behavioral therapy, and cognitive-behavioral therapy. A follow-up is to be done in two weeks.
Assignment 2: Focused SOAP Note and Patient Case Presentation
Psychiatric notes are a way to reflect on your practicum experiences and connect them to the didactic learning you gain from your NRNP courses. Focused SOAP notes, such as the ones required in this practicum course, are often used in clinical settings to document patient care.
For this Assignment, you will document information about a patient that you examined during the last three weeks, using the Focused SOAP Note Template provided. You will then use this note to develop and record a case presentation for this patient.
To Prepare
· Present the full complex case study. Include chief complaint; history of present illness; any pertinent past psychiatric, substance use, medical, social, family history; most recent mental status exam; current psychiatric diagnosis including differentials that were ruled out; and plan for treatment and management.
· Report normal diagnostic results as the name of the test and “normal” (rather than specific value). Abnormal results should be reported as a specific value.
· Specifically address the following for the patient, using your SOAP note as a guide:
·
Subjective: What details did the patient provide regarding their chief complaint and symptomology to derive your differential diagnosis? What is the duration and severity of their symptoms? How are their symptoms impacting their functioning in life?

PSY 361 Week 1 Assignment Promoting Health Behavior Change
Promoting Health Behavior Change. Prior to beginning your work on
this assignment, please read the assigned text chapters for Week One. In
addition, read pages 17-18 from the article, Theory at a Glance: A guide
for Health Promotion Practice (National Cancer Institute, 2005) .
This article includes information about the Transtheoretical model
(TTM), describing stages of change across a timespan, and the Health
3. Belief Model (HBM), describing perceptions determining an
individual’s behavior change relating to health and disease.
An additional resource includes the University of Rhode Island Cancer
Prevention Research Center’s Transtheoretical Model: Detailed
Overview.
Different biopsychosocial theoretical models have been developed to
assess individual perspectives on health promotion as well as to develop
effective interventions to support health promotion.
This assignment focuses on shared decision making (SDM) and the use
of decision aids (DA) in health promotion as well as the analysis of a
specific health promotion practice using two theoretical biopsychosocial
models.
Utilization of healthcare services in the form of immunizations will be
evaluated using the Healthcare Belief Model (HBM) and the
Transtheoretical Model (TTM) of Behavioral Change.
How does the consumer perceive and act upon vaccination
(immunization) recommendations as a health promotion activity?
For this assignment you must:
Create your paper by evaluating vaccinations as health promotion
practices.
Create an initial paragraph that presents a thesis related to vaccinations
as health promotion practices and explains how these practices impact
health related behaviors.
Complete the three attached tables: the Health Belief Model (HBM), the
Transtheoretical Model of Behavior Change (TTM), and the Comparison
table.
4. When you have filled in the tables, you will be using the completed
tables in the body of your paper by selecting and copying all the content,
then pasting it into the body of your document.
Use the following resources to help guide your work.
Basics and common questions: Why immunize? For parents.
Summary of Recommendations for Child/Teen Immunization

Create your paper by evaluating vaccinations as health promotion
practices.
Create an initial paragraph which presents a thesis related to this and
how these practices impact health related behaviors.
Copy and paste your three completed tables into the body of your paper
beneath your thesis paragraph. Conclude your paper by distinguishing
how vaccinations are typically utilized across the lifespan from
childhood through adulthood and into old age.
Depending on the amount of content in your tables, your paper will be a
minimum of three pages excluding title page. A reference page is not
required unless you choose to use citations in your tables.

Our text reading this week introduces the discipline of health
psychology and reviews body systems.
This subject content provides a foundation for exploring various topics
in health and illness, and how to evaluate health-related behaviors and
health promotion practices across the lifespan.
The biopsychosocial model of health psychology is described.
6. An historical overview of its development from preceding theoretical
models in psychology is provided.
We can evaluate individual healthcare choices and utilization of
healthcare services using this model. Utilizing the biopsychosocial
model, research a selected psychological diagnosis and evaluate health-
related behaviors and health promotion practices related to this condition
from the standpoint of associated biological, psychological, and social
factors.
First, select an individual psychological disorder that is found in Section
II of the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual 5 (DSM-5), accessed via the
Ashford University Library per the instructions indicated in the Required
Resources list for this week. (Section II has subsections with various
categories of different recognized neuropsychological conditions.
Be sure to open each section to scan the various disorders in each
subsection category.) After reading through the disorders in each
category, choose one for further study.
You may choose any disorder EXCEPT post-traumatic stress disorder
(PTSD) or the disorders listed in the category of
Substance-Related and Addictive Disorders. You will research your
selected disorder in the Annals of Behavioral Medicine publication. The
instructions below will assist you in your search.

Focus on PTSD
Trauma and Stressor-Related Disorders: Focus on PTSD. In this written
assignment, you will use a variety of resources on Posttraumatic Stress
Disorder (PTSD) to evaluate and answer a series of questions on a given
case study. PTSD is a recognized diagnosis in Section II: Trauma- and
8. Stressor-Related Disorders in the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of
Mental Disorders, Fifth Edition (DSM-5).
Specific diagnostic criteria exist for adults and children. A great deal of
research has been done regarding risk factors for developing PTSD, as
well as the prevention and management of this condition. Utilizing
recognized resources relating to this disorder, a case study will be
analyzed.
Please look at these resources before beginning your work:
Post-traumatic Stress Disorder

parents of children exposed to violence or disaster: What parents can do
Understanding school violence
Understanding youth violence
Coping with stress after a violent event
Case Study: Johnny is a 12-year-old student at Hometown Middle
School. Six weeks ago, he witnessed a fight lunch time between two
students at the adjacent table in the cafeteria.
9. During the fight, a knife was pulled and its use resulted in serious injury
to one of the students. Emergency medical services (EMS) were called,
and the student was removed via ambulance. Since that day, Johnny has
had frequent nightmares in which he revisits the fight scene. He has
refused to eat lunch in the cafeteria and instead hides in the bathroom
during the lunch hour.
Once this was discovered, he was brought to the guidance counselor, and
his mother was called to school. Johnny insists that the cafeteria isn’t
safe, and in discussion with the guidance counselor his mother mentions
that Johnny insists on keeping a kitchen knife at his bedside table.
Further evaluation of Johnny’s school performance demonstrates that his
grades have fallen from their usual level.
The biopsychosocial model of health psychology incorporates
biological, social and psychological factors. Based on these, evaluate the
health-related behaviors exhibited by Johnny in the scenario.
What health promotion (prevention) practices could be addressed? What
factors might influence Johnny and his mother’s utilization of health
care resources based on his developmental stage? Assess the scenario
and comment on how psychological methods might be employed to
assist Johnny in managing and coping with the situation.
Your assignment should include the sections listed below. Each section
will focus on stress-related behaviors, referral for services, risk factors,
and management and prevention of a stress-related disorder.
Answer the following questions, citing information from the specified
resource(s) to support your writing and any statements of fact. Each
question should be answered in a separate section, with a minimum of at
least one paragraph (minimum five sentences).
10. In addition to the specified resources for each section, you may include
additional scholarly or peer-reviewed references relating to the topic
question, but this is not required.
Be sure to synthesize the information provided in the class resources
regarding the factors affecting Johnny’s behaviors and choices.

disorder impact the effectiveness of coping strategies. As you construct
your post, synthesize the research findings you found with regard to the
factors affecting health-related behaviors and coping strategies. Evaluate
the health-related behaviors associated with coping strategies for your
topic illness and explain how you might use the biopsychosocial model
of health psychology to guide the development of individual coping
options.

PSY 361 Week 5 Final Paper Transtheoretical and Health Belief Models
in Chronic Illness
Focus of the Final Paper
The course of illness can be influenced by biological, psychological,
and/or social factors covering a broad range of topics that include stress,
coping, and behaviors that either promote health and prevent illness, or
contribute to the development of clinical problems. Health and wellness
are important to our daily lives and this is true even in the context of
being diagnosed with a chronic illness such as diabetes mellitus. The
interplay between emotions, cognitive, and behavioral/physical factors
can affect all aspects of health and illness.
25. Individual differences such as culture, ethnicity, lifestyle, religion,
gender, identity development, financial status, and social support should
be considered when analyzing the individual’s response to a chronic
illness. Numerous research studies have investigated the impact of one
or more of these factors in terms of the effect on chronic disease
outcomes.
These outcomes can include symptom management and/or progression
of the severity of the disease.
Explanatory theories often describe factors that contribute to health
problems, or interfere with prevention activities, and thus provide targets
for change. One such theory is the Health Belief Model (HBM) which
addresses perceptions of the health problem.
These perceptions include the degree of threat in terms of susceptibility
and severity, any benefits to be obtained by avoiding the perceived
threat, and various internal (e.g., self-efficacy) and external (e.g.,
barriers to care) factors that influence the individual’s decision to act.
Other theories emphasize motivations that influence a continuum of
stages of behavioral change.
The Transtheoretical Model (TTM) of behavior change is a theory of
this type. The response to chronic illness and the illness experience itself
can be described by these models. In managing chronic disease, there are
coping strategies and behavior changes that support optimal outcomes
and therapeutic interventions can be designed for greater effectiveness
by using these two models.
The assignment:
For your paper you will choose from the two options below. The option
you choose will provide the focus and title for your paper.
26. Option A: Diabetes Mellitus and the Transtheoretical Model of Behavior
Change
Option B: Diabetes Mellitus and the Health Belief Model.
