Change process: refers to the various manifestations of people changing from one stage of behavior to another. It can be implicit or explicit:
Increase awareness and arouse emotions
Self-re-evaluation and environmental re-evaluation
social liberation, self-liberation
Help-seeking relationships, reflective habits
Strengthen management and stimulus control
(1) Raise awareness: Discover and understand new facts, concepts, and tips that support healthy behavior change.
Intervention strategies: Increase awareness of causes, consequences, and specific problem behaviors.
① Information feedback (take your blood pressure to know that your blood pressure is high)
② Talk to people (communicate with doctors to understand your health status)
③ Read books about health (learn knowledge from medical books)
④ Media promotion (seeing promotional videos on TV)
(2) Emotional arousal: Experience and learn and release negative emotions (fear, anxiety, worry) that may be caused by health-threatening behaviors.
Intervention strategies: Arouse and relieve negative emotions related to unhealthy behaviors.
Through various methods such as role-playing, watching movies, risk communication, and media publicity, people can feel the possible consequences of unhealthy or dangerous behaviors to induce the generation of negative emotions (such as fear, fear, anxiety, worry, etc.). Then use appropriate activities to reduce or relieve the previously induced negative emotions.
(3) Self-evaluation: Realizing that behavioral change is an important part of individual identity. That is, individuals make an assessment of their self-image, including cognition and emotion, regarding the presence or absence of a certain health-threatening behavior.
Intervention strategy: Combining cognitive emotions and assessing one's unhealthy self-image to realize the importance of behavioral changes.
① Value judgment (compare the value expression of exercise and non-exercise)
②Health model (please come and share your experience if you like sports)
③Metaphoric imagery (imagine the health and vitality of those who love sports)
(4) Environmental re-evaluation: Be aware of the negative impact of unhealthy behaviors on the surrounding environment. Includes both cognitive and emotional evaluations. Including the physical environment in which a person lives or works, as well as the social environment
Intervention strategies: Integrate cognitive emotions and assess how personal habits affect society.
Environmental re-evaluation through empathy training (developing compassion), watching documentaries, providing evidence, family involvement, etc.
(5) Social liberation: Be aware of the arrival of a social environment that supports healthy behaviors. That is, recognizing that social norms have evolved in a direction that supports healthy behaviors.
On the one hand, it can provide a variety of opportunities or alternatives to promote personal behavior changes and no longer be bound by social norms; on the other hand, it can also change unreasonable social norms so that personal behaviors are no longer subject to inappropriate constraints.
Intervention strategies: issue advocacy, mass empowerment, formulating public policies, and strengthening social welfare.
(6) Self-liberation: Make a firm commitment to change your behavior.
Individuals hold positive beliefs about behavioral change and are willing to put this belief into action, thus making commitments and recommitments.
Intervention strategy: Usually people will use the New Year or birthday or an anniversary to make a wish, or make a public commitment in front of everyone. This can strengthen the will and determination to change behavior and help individuals get rid of the pressure and constraints caused by behaviors that endanger health. .
(7) Help-seeking relationship: refers to seeking social support networks to assist individuals in changing behaviors that endanger health.
To provide support, care, trust, openness and acceptance to people who want to eliminate health-damaging behaviors is to provide social support. This support can come from intimate relationships, friend relationships, doctor-patient relationships, consultation relationships, partnerships, etc.
Intervention strategies: relationship building, therapy groups, counselor calls, buddy system.
(8) Reflect on habits (reverse restriction): Enhance awareness of unhealthy behaviors and choose healthier behaviors to replace them.
Intervention strategies: Learn healthy behaviors to replace unhealthy behaviors.
Keep your body and mind relaxed, adhere to the belief of change, reduce the intensity of stimuli that induce existing behaviors, receive professional alternative treatment, strengthen the habit of positive thinking, etc.
(9) Strengthen management: increase rewards for healthy behaviors and penalties for behaviors that endanger health.
Reinforcement refers to the consequences (consequences) of an individual's behavioral performance, which are positive or change in the expected direction, and various rewards that encourage or make people happy are given. Reinforcement increases the likelihood that a new behavior will be repeated.
Intervention strategies: change contracts, provide material rewards or bonuses, give spiritual praise or hugs, strengthen support among members of small groups, etc.
(10) Stimulus control: Eliminate reminders that induce harmful health behaviors or enhance reminders that are beneficial to health behaviors.
Stimulus refers to factors that prompt an individual to take action or trigger an individual to take action.
There are two processing methods of stimulus control: one is to remove events or certain action cues that prompt old behaviors; the other is to enhance events or provide action cues that are suggestive of new behaviors.
Intervention strategies: avoidance or distance, environment modification, group member support.
