<\/p>\n
Health behavior change theories suggest behavior change as a \u201cprocess,\u201d not an \u201cevent.\u201d How can you put this into action for developing an intervention for practice or research? Discuss how you would apply this in planning your DNP project.<\/p>\n
Each behavioural change theory<\/a> or model focuses on different factors in attempting to explain behaviour change. Of the many that exist, the most prevalent are\u00a0learning theories,\u00a0social cognitive theory, theories of\u00a0reasoned action\u00a0and\u00a0planned behaviour,\u00a0transtheoretical model\u00a0of behavior change, the\u00a0health action process approach\u00a0and the\u00a0BJ Fogg\u00a0model of behavior change. Research has also been conducted regarding specific elements of these theories, especially elements like\u00a0self-efficacy\u00a0that are common to several of the theories.<\/p>\n Self-efficacy<\/a>[2]<\/a><\/sup> is an individual’s impression of their own ability to perform a demanding or challenging task such as facing an exam or undergoing surgery. This impression is based upon factors like the individual’s prior success in the task or in related tasks, the individual’s physiological state, and outside sources of persuasion. Self-efficacy is thought to be predictive of the amount of effort an individual will expend in initiating and maintaining a behavioural change, so although self-efficacy is not a behavioural change theory per se, it is an important element of many of the theories, including the health belief model<\/a>, the\u00a0theory of planned behaviour<\/a>\u00a0and the\u00a0health action process approach<\/a>.<\/p>\n In 1977,\u00a0Albert Bandura<\/a>\u00a0performed two experimental tests on the self-efficacy theory. The first study asked whether systematic desensitization could effect changes in avoidance behavior by improving people’s expectations of their personal efficacy. The study found that “thorough extinction of anxiety arousal to visualized threats by desensitization treatment produced differential increases in self-efficacy. In accord with prediction, microanalysis of congruence between self-efficacy and performance showed self-efficacy to be a highly accurate predictor of degree of behavioral change following complete desensitization. The findings also lend support to the view that perceived self-efficacy mediates anxiety arousal.” In the second experiment, Bandura examined the process of efficacy and behavioral change in individuals suffering from phobias. He found that self-efficacy was a useful predictor of the amount of behavioral improvement that phobics could gain through mastering threatening thoughts.[3]<\/a><\/sup><\/p>\n<\/div>\nSelf-efficacy<\/span>[<\/span>edit<\/a>]<\/span><\/span><\/h3>\n
