PER Factors 1
what is step 3 of the PER factors (PRECEDE MODEL)?
behavioral and environmental
"the what" is contributing to the health problem
A needs assessment reveals that older adults understand the benefits of fall prevention exercises but lack access to transportation and exercise facilities.
Which PER factor is MOST responsible for limiting participation?
A. Predisposing
B. Enabling
C. Reinforcing
D. Behavioral
B. Enabling (external factor is main limitation)
define a theory
a systemic way of understanding behavior, actions, events or situations
define TRA/TPB
examines the relations between an individuals beliefs/attitudes which push intentions to control a health behavior
- behavioral intention most important
list an internal / external factor of the Behavioral and Environmental step 3 model
internal: beliefs, attitudes, behavior and skills
external: physical, social, economic and policy-level aspects of community
A PT program identifies that participants are dropping out because no one follows up with them after the first month.
What PER factor should the program focus on improving?
A. Predisposing
B. Enabling
C. Reinforcing
D. Environmental
C. Reinforcing
2 types of theory + define them
Explanatory: reasons why a problem is needed (HBM, TRA/TPB)
Change: spells out concepts that can be translated into program messages and strategies and provides basis for evaluation (TTM, SCT and DOI)
3 Beliefs of TRA/TPB
Behavioral
Normative
Control
what is step 4 of the PRECEDE model? (PER Factors)
Educational and Ecological
"the why" that influence or determine behaviors
what are modifying factors of the Health Belief Model?
demographics (age, gender, marital status, ethnicity)
psychological (peer group, social class, personality)
structural (knowledge and past experiences)
transtheoretical model: define and explain
Focusing on process of behavior change (readiness to change)
pre-contemplation, contemplation, preparation, action and maintenance
what are the 3 behaviors seen in the educational and ecological assessment? (Define and explain)
predisposing: factors that motivate or provide a reason for behavior (knowledge, attitude, values or beliefs)
Enabling: allowing individuals to act on their normal behaviors (resources, community, polices)
Reinforcing: occur after the behavior has been initiated (encouraging repetition of positive behavior)
define the health belief model
addresses individual perceptions of the threat posed by a health problem (severity and susceptibility), the benefits of avoiding the threat, and factors influencing the decision to act (barriers, cue to action and self-efficacy)
which of the categorized behaviors are internal, external or both?
Predisposing: internal factors
Enabling: external + structural
reinforcing: both
define perceived susceptibility and severity
Sus: beliefs about the chance of developing a condition
sev: beliefs about the seriousness of the condition and the subsequent consequences
Sus + Sev = threat
