For this assignment, you are being asked to identify a specific disease we cover
For this assignment, you are being asked to identify a specific disease we covered in the course. For example, cardiovascular disease, diabetes, or cancer. CVD. You are encouraged to refer back to the lecture PowerPoint for a reminder about each illness (its causes, related behaviors, outcomes, etc).
Use PsychInfo (not Google), to find 2-3 peer reviewed full text articles to help answer questions 1-3. Be sure to include the author and year for your citations within the paper and include the reference list at the end. Then, in your own words apply what you’ve learned so far in the course (lectures, films) to answer the reflection questions. Finally, develop a strategy for reducing this disease, or a solution! This needs to be based on the Transtheoretical Model of Change.
1. Think back to the medical template (for helping psychologists work with people with chronic disease). Describe the outcome, process, etiology and management needs (O.P.E.N.). Be sure cite your references!
2. Give examples of health behaviors associated with the disease and cite your references.
3. Tell me what social, political and/or environmental factors contribute to the disease and cite your references.
Creative Solutions: Using the transtheoretical model of behavior change,
4. Think back on the films you’ve watched so far in class (Bad Sugar, Becoming American, In Sickness and in Wealth, or I’m Positive Game ). Describe one solution presented in any of those films that targeted dangerous conditions and unhealthy spaces and places that contribute to the disease.
5. Then, using the Transtheoretical Model of Behavior Change, tell me who the target of the solution you described in question 4. Was it patients, community members, and/or elected officials? And what stage of change best describes them (Precontemplation, Contemplation, Preparation, Action, or Maintenance).
6. Finally, select any other stage of change, and tell me what different processes of changewould be necessary for people in that stage to engage with in order to create positive change.
