Question

REFLECTION PAPER INSTRUCTIONSIn Module/Week 5, you will be required to submit a paper in which you assess

the Health Belief Model (HBM) in light of biblical principles. Your paper must be between 2–3 pages (before the Bibliography & Title Page).

Each of the following sections must begin with the heading that is provided below in bold type.

1.HBM Overview

Provide a detailed overview of the HBM. Make sure to briefly address the six constructs of this model. (Please remember to cite your sources in the paper as well as the Bibliography.)

2.Value Expectancy

Explain why the HBM is considered to be a value expectancy theory. Make sure to discuss the 2 variables of a value expectancy theory and their impact on the process of goal-setting.

3.Biblical Application

Identify one of the six constructs of the HBM which you believe aligns with scripture. Make sure to include scriptural support with your rationale. (Please note that simply making comparisons between scripture and good health or proper stewardship of one’s body is not adequate. You need to show a specific correlation between a construct and scripture.)

4.Biblical Contrast

Identify one of the six constructs of the HBM which you feel does not align with scripture. Make sure to include scriptural support with your rationale. (Please note that an answer such as “I do not believe there are any variables which contrast scripture” will not be accepted.)

a.Font must be Times New Roman in 12-point pitch for entire paper

The Health Belief model (HBM) has 6 constructs. The book Theoretical Foundations of Health Education and Health Promotion 2nd edition by Manoj Sharma and John A. Romas
Perceived susceptibility has strong cognitive component and is partly dependent on knowledge (Rosenstock, 1974a). according to the HBM, health educators need to build perceived susceptibility by elaborating on the possibility of negative consequences and personalizing those risks for their participants. For example, in a smoking prevention program, health educators might mention that smoking causes lung cancer and, based on the relative risk calculated from epidemiological studies, mention that this risk is 22 times higher for a smoker than for a nonsmoker.
Perceived severity belief in the extent of harm the can result from the acquired disease or harmful state as a result of a particular behavior. 1) mention serious negative consequences (eating saturated fats causes heart disease). 2) personalize the seriousness for the education participants (share a story about a person who died from a heart attack in the community)
Perceived benefits beliefs in the advantage of the methods suggested for reducing the risk or seriousness of the disease or harmful state resulting from a particular behavior. 1) specify the exact action (the individual will carry out breast self-examination in every quadrant every month after taking a shower). 2)specify the positive benefits that will accrue from the behavior (doing breast self-examination monthly will allow you to detect cancer or other diseases early, to feel good about yourself, to feel in control of your health, and to feel more responsible toward yourself and your family).
Perceived barriers belief concerning actual and imagined costs of performing the suggested behavior. 1)reassure the education recipients that the behavior has minimal cost (for breast self-examination, state that it would only mean spending another 15 minutes while taking a shower).2) correct any misconceptions that education participants may have (a person may think a gall bladder ultrasound is an invasive procedure; correcting that misperception may increase the likelihood of the person getting that test).3)provide incentives for indulging in the behavior (free cholesterol testing may be offered to increase the chances that more people will get tested).
Cues to action precipitating force that makes a person feel the need to take action. Implement a reminder system to encourage the behavior (post a note or call the person on the phone).
Self-efficacy confidence in one’s ability to acquire the new behavior. 1)practice in small steps (breaking down complex behavior of self- examination into doable small steps). 2)have a role model demonstrate the behavior (show a video of a well-known movie star with whom the target audience can identify performing the same behavior).3) use persuasion and reinforcement (tell participants that they have what it takes to perform the behavior and attribute failures to external forces).4)reduce stress associated with implementing a new behavior (have participants take a relaxing shower before doing a breast self-examination)
