After an outbreak of measles at a local high school the nurse encourages students who are susceptible to have the measles immunization because of the serious consequences from the disease
After educating the students on the benefits of the immunization most students decide the benefits outweigh the barriers. What model was used to guide health promotion in this situation?
1. Precaution Adoption Process model.
2. Health Belief model.
3. Pender's Health Promotion model.
4. Theory of Reasoned Action model.
Answer: 2
Explanation: 2. The Health Belief model includes individual perceptions of susceptibility and seriousness, modifying factors, perceptions of benefits and barriers to action, and cues to action. The Precaution Adoption Process model describes the stages that occur in decisions to adopt or not adopt a health-related behavior. Pender's Health Promotion model states that commitment to action results in actual behavior but may be modified by competing demands and preferences. The Theory of Reasoned Action model is based on the premises that attitudes to a health-related behavior reflect a person's attitudes to the expected consequences of the behavior, and attitudes are the product of subjective norms influenced by others.
