Feedback:
In the Adaptation Model, humans are considered adaptive systems that cope with change through adaptation. A patient with an amputation of a lower extremity would have the need to cope with this loss and adapt to the change in mobility resultant from the trauma. Social Cognitive Theory (Bandura, 1985, 2001), which is sometimes called self-efficacy theory, offers an explanation of human behavior using the concepts of self-efficacy, outcome expectations, and incentives. Self-efficacy concerns people's belief in their own capacity to carry out particular behaviors (e.g., smoking cessation). In the Transtheoretical Model (Prochaska et al., 2002), the core construct is stages of change, which conceptualizes a continuum of motivational readiness to change problem behavior.
Becker's Health Belief Model (HBM) is a framework for explaining people's health-related behavior, such as health-care use and compliance with a medical regimen.
