Aims

The aim of this study was to apply Bandura social learning theory in a model for identifying personal and environmental factors that predict health-promoting self-care behaviors in people with pre-diabetes.

Background

1. Introduction
Diabetes is an urgent global health issue because of its high rates of prevalence, complications, and mortality and because of its huge associated health care costs (World Health Organization, 2013, August). A major global health concern is reducing the impact of diabetes by improving diabetes prevention. Individuals with pre-diabetes have a high risk of diabetes. For example, a study by de Vegt et al. (2011) found that the cumulative incidence of diabetes in participants with pre-diabetes was 64.5%, which was 14.3 times higher than that in people with normal glucose concentrations (cumulative incidence, 4.5%). Therefore, populations targeted in efforts to prevent the occurrence of diabetes should include people with …show more content…

Researchers have used this theory to explore health behaviors (Sharon et al., 2006). However, the theory is rarely used to investigate health-promoting self-care behaviors in people with pre-diabetes. The theoretical basis of this research can be used to obtain evidence-based knowledge. Therefore, the purpose of this study was to use Bandura social learning theory as a framework for investigating personal and environmental factors in the health-promoting self-care behaviors of people with pre-diabetes. Fig. 1 shows the framework of this

632 Words | 3 Pages

For the “Let’s Do This” program focused on reducing and controlling childhood obesity and adult onset of type II diabetes in Point Mar, an instructional strategy – lecture, quiz, games, and brain storming will be utilized. This is based on the Social Cognitive Theory applied to health behavior, which is an evidenced based approach (DiClemente, Salazar, & Crosby, 2013). The reason for utilizing this strategy is that this approach is based on behavioral adaptations that will improve health within the community. In addition, the five key constructs of the social cognitive theory are; knowledge, perceived self-efficacy, outcome expectations, goal formation, and socio-structural factors (DiClemente, Salazar, & Crosby, 2013). Another reason is that this strategy is a multi-level intervention approach that is aimed at the individual and his immediate social environment (DiClemente, Salazar, & Crosby, 2013), which plays a huge role in the incidence of Childhood Obesity in Vista County, which “Let’s Do This” is striving

Health Belief Model Essay

502 Words | 3 Pages

The core assumptions of the Health Belief Model (HBM) are based on the premise that a person will develop a health behavior and is willing to take action to avoid the occurrence of the disease. Furthermore, the person needs to believe that they have the possibility of developing the disease, that they can avoid the disease, that the cost of the change outweighs the benefit and that the person can effectively implement the recommended behavior. Furthermore, the major concepts of the HBM are perceived severity, perceived benefit, perceived barriers, cues to action and self-efficacy (de Chesnay and Anderson, 2016, p. 155-156). According to the Common Sense Model (CSM), when a health threat is perceived by the individual, they progress through three stages: (1) mental representations of the health threat; (2) coping actions or behaviors that help the individual cope with the health threat; and (3) how well the coping strategies manage the
