The client has a strong belief that he can successfully change his eating and exercise pattern in order to lose weight. Using Pender's Health-Promotion Model, how would the nurse document this belief?
1. As a positive activity-related affect.
2. As a perceived barrier to action.
3. As positive self-efficacy.
4. As good interpersonal influence.
Correct Answer: 3
When a client has a strong belief that he or she can successfully carry out the behavior necessary to achieve a desired outcome, it is termed positive self-efficacy. Positive activity-related affect occurs when the person has had a previous positive experience with a health-promoting behavior. Perceived barriers to action are negative in that they give a reason why the health-promoting behavior will not succeed. Good interpersonal influences have to do with the perceptions of others.
