Stage Of Change Model
Overview
It is clear that health behaviours such as diet, smoking, exercise, sleep, help seeking and medication taking relate to health and illness. Ogden, J (2012). The purpose of this unit was to show how behaviour change can be implemented.
THE STAGES OF CHANGE MODEL AND THE DEVELOPMENT OF MOTIVATIONAL INTERVIEWING.
In the stage of change model (Ogden J, pg 17), behavior change is conceptualized as a process that unfolds overtime and involves progression through a series of five stages: pre contemplation, contemplation, preparation, action, and maintenance. Although the stages were initially and extensively applied to changing health behaviors, this model has also proven useful in conceptualizing and guiding the change that occurs …show more content…
Although the time an individual spends in each stage may vary, the tasks to be accomplished are assumed to be invariant. For each stage of change, different change processes and relational stances produce optimal progress. Prochaska and DiClemente (1982). Pre-contemplation: Is the stage in which there is no intention to change behavior in the foreseeable future. Ogden, J (2012). Most patients in this stage are unaware or under aware of their problems. Families, friends, neighbors or employees, however, are often well aware that the Pre-contemplators suffer from the problems.
Contemplation: Is the stage in which patients are aware that a problem exists and are seriously thinking about overcoming it but have not yet made a commitment to take action.
Contemplators struggle with their positive evaluations of their dysfunctional behavior and the amount of effort, energy, and loss it will cost to overcome it. Prochaska and DiClemente (1982). Preparation: Is the stage in which individuals are intending to take action in the next month and are reporting some small behavioral changes (‘‘baby steps’’). Although they have …show more content…
Remaining free of the problem and/or consistently engaging in a new incompatible behavior for more than 6 months are the criteria for the maintenance stage. Prochaska and DiClemente (1982). MOTIVATIONAL INTERVIEWING have evolved since 1983. As Miller and Rollnick (2009) have written, “We have sought to define clearly what MI is, and our descriptions have evolved over time”. An early definition of motivational interviewing was as follows: MI is “a directive, client-centered counseling style for eliciting behavior change by helping clients to explore and resolve ambivalence”. ALCOHOL - Alcohol abuse is a progressive disorder in which physical dependency can develop. There is always a primary warning written on the label (eg bottle, can or box) as a message to expose high proportions of large populations (Prof. Melanie A. et el 2014) but individuals opt to ignore the message. Even low doses of alcohol impair brain function, judgment, alertness, coordination and
