Transtheoretical Model Versus the Health Belief Model


The Transtheoretical Model (TTM) and Health Belief Model (HBM) are the two most widely used theories of individual health behavior change because both are practical, intuitive, and easily applied. Some situations could use both theories, and you may find that both have similarities. Still, there are important differences.

To prepare for this Assignment, select a chronic or infectious disease, apply both models, and decide which of the two provides the best model for behavior change in your particular case.

The Assignment (3–4 pages):

  • Compare (similarities and differences) the theoretical constructs of the Transtheoretical Model and the Health Belief Model.
  • Apply each of these models to the chronic or infectious disease you selected. Include a diagram or table to illustrate the application of each model.
  • Explain which model is more appropriate to bring about positive health change for the disease you selected and justify your choice.

Transtheoretical Model versus the Health Belief Model
The most largely utilized suppositions of individual health behavior change are the
Health Belief Model (HBM) and the Transtheoretical Model (TTM). The wide uses of the two
models are because of their empirical, intuitive, and ease of application. The TTM present that
change in conduct occurs in a sequence of stages (Laranjo, 2016), including precontemplation,
contemplation, preparation, action, maintenance, and termination. The HBM is a conceptual
configuration that elucidates an individual’s conduct as an expression of health contentions thus
what people discern healthy. The model focuses on the change in conduct at the individual level
(Green & Murphy, 2014). HBM model presumes that information will meet optimal conduct
amend if they focus on discerned barriers, benefits, self-efficacy, and threats. The two
frameworks possess certain differences and similarities in application to various situations. The
chronic disease selected for completing the assignment is type 2 diabetes.
Similarities between TTM and HBM
Both models focus to establish what is required for persons to safeguard themselves from
diseases and to comprehend, forecast, and influence one’s health conduct and the capacity to
amend. Although TTM is conduct-oriented and HBM cognitively based, both models focus on
developing awareness about health. Although TTM concentrates on the outlook and contention
stages that precede capacity to change and HBM o...
