Ans) Health Belief Model as Nursing Tool:
- The health belief model asserts that when a person believes he or she is susceptible to a health problem with severe consequences, the person will more likely conclude that the benefits outweigh the barriers associated with changing one's behavior to prevent the problem.
- The health belief model is a great tool for nurses, offering them a theoretical framework for helping their patients prevent chronic disease or, if disease is present, improve quality of life.
- Nurses can use this model to clarify patients' perceptions of risk and why they behave in a way that is harmful; this enables nurses to apply strategies that influence patients to make healthy lifestyle changes.
- Patients' perceptions can be affected by age, sex, and personality. Consider your patients who are overweight and diabetic or those who have high blood pressure and eat processed convenience foods high in sodium.
- Think about those who never use sunscreen or have a family history of cancer yet refuse screening tests. You can use the health belief model in all of these situations.
