Matching Game with the Transtheoretical Model of Change

Hmmmmmm……

Relapse Common Doesn’t mean failure Failure is when we give up and don’t build on prior experience

Remember…. Changing behaviors is challenging Change doesn’t happen all at once, but in stages This model can be applied to any behavior Is not linear, but circular

Mediators of PA Mechanism through which the intervention is believed to influence PA behavior Is always a factor that we can help a client change

Self Efficacy Confidence in abilities to perform a certain task

Social Support Instrumental ◦Giving a ride to the fitness center, giving a treadmill for a gift, etc Informational ◦Tell about a walk/run, tell about how you stay motivated Emotional ◦Empathizing, letting them know you care Appraising ◦Feedback and encouragement

Decisional Balance Ratio of perceived benefits to barriers of change

Outcome Expectations Value that is placed on the consequences of being physically active ◦Acute ◦Chronic

Enjoyment Associated with adherence to exercise programs

Case Studies ◦Joe is 55 years old and has been told by his doctor that he needs to start working out and watching his diet. He is overweight, BP is borderline hypertensive and his cholesterol levels keep creeping up. Besides the occasional after dinner walk with his wife, Joe does not currently engage in PA and is seeing you only because his wife is making him.

Case Studies ◦Sally is a very busy 35 year old mother of two who is also going back to school to get her degree. She is frustrated that she cannot take off her baby weight that she put on with her two pregnancy's and complains of always being tired. She knows that the extra weight she is carrying is not healthy, but she says she has very little time to work out. She does not have money to go to a gym and when she tries to work out at home, she gets interrupted by her husband or her kids.
