Utilization of Health belief Model
Blanche Mikhail
DNSc, RN, CNS
1945 - 2003 |
Mikhail et. el. Utilized the Health Belief Model to
investigate factors and beliefs that may be related to
the practice of breast self-examination (BSE) among a
group of Jordanian women.
The Health Belief Model (HBM) is one of the most
widely used conceptual frameworks for understanding
health behavior. Developed in the early 1950s, the
model has been used with great success for almost half
a century to promote greater condom use, seat belt
use, BSE, medical compliance, and health
screening use, to name a few behaviors.
- The HBM is based on the
understanding that a person will take a
health-related action (i.e., BSE) if that person:
feels that a negative health condition (i.e., Breast
Cancer) can be avoided,
- has a positive expectation that
by taking a recommended action, he/she will avoid a
negative health condition (i.e., using BSE will be
effective at preventing Breast Cancer), and
- believes that she can
successfully take a recommended health action (i.e.,
she can use BSE comfortably and with confidence).
