APPLYING THE MODEL TO EBP 2

Introduction

Duck’s five-stage change curve is powerful framework or model that is commonly used

to understand the various stages of personal transition. In evidence-based practice, using models

to enhance intervention is critical in ensuring proper understanding of the intervention. It is

imperative to understand that pediatric asthma is a condition that can easily be controlled, but

due to the perceived notion that most families and patients have in regards ICS intervention, it

becomes hard for the healthcare professionals to control the condition effectively. Although the

disease threatens the life and well-being of children, the perceived ineffectiveness of the early

intervention through the administration of inhaled corticosteroids (ICS) to children hampers the

level of acceptance (Melnyk & Fineout-Overholt, 2011). In this regard, Duck’s five-stage change

curve can provide a better explanation of how people can make a better transition in their life

regarding the level of acceptance of the intervention. This model thus helps predict how people

are likely to react to the intervention and in essence can enhance an effective level of

intervention.

The change curve

The change curve has been proved as effective in producing behavior change within a

high-risk patient population. It emphasizes on the basic assumption for health behavior change

within a population. As mentioned above, the model allows evidence-based practice within a

healthcare environment by emphasizing on the behavior change. Avoidance is one of the

overarching measures that are commonly used as form behavior change in evidence-based

practice and intervention. Pediatric asthma is commonly caused by exposure to irritants in the air

such as pollen, smoke, strong odors, pet dander and dust mites. To enhance effective intervention
