HEALTH BEHAVIOUR CHANGE AND ITS ROLE IN DISEASE PREVENTION AND MANAGEMENT
Keywords:
Health Behavior, Models of Health Behavior Change, Intervention, Role of Health PsychologistAbstract
Health behavior change is critical in preventing and managing chronic diseases and also influences the complex interplay of biological, psychological, and social aspects. The present research examines the importance of modifying health behavior, the influence of illness views, and the role of health psychologists in encouraging behavior change. Various theoretical models, such as the Health Belief Model and the Protection Motivation Theory, provide frameworks for understanding and guiding behavior change. The effectiveness of interventions, including goal setting, self-monitoring, and tailored therapeutic approaches, highlights the need for comprehensive strategies to promote positive health behaviors. Successful health behaviour change is essential for reducing morbidity and mortality rates, particularly in addressing non-communicable and lifestyle-related diseases.
