Amanda Change Model

The Smoke Free campaign also uses the stages of change model. When an individual is trying to quit smoking they will go through the stages of change cycle. At the stage of pre-contemplation the individual who smokes does not have intention to change their behaviour, they may not be aware or not aware enough of the damage that smoking can cause to their body and their smoking problem. At the stage of contemplation the individual may start becoming aware that they have a problem with their smoking and they are seriously considering stopping smoking but they have not yet made commitment to do something about trying to quit smoking. At the preparation stage they are intending to do something about trying to stop smoking very soon, but they have not done anything yet. At the action stage the individual makes changes to their behaviour, so that they can overcome their smoking problem, for example completely stopping smoking, gradually cutting down on smoking, using nicotine replacement therapies such as nicotine patches, nicotine gum, inhalators etc. At the maintenance stage the individual will work to

The Transtheoretical Model is a theory of health behavior that suggests that behavior change is a process, not an event. There are five stages of change someone can go through while attempting to engage in positive behavior: precontemplation, no intention to act within six months; contemplation, intention to act within six months; preparation, intention to act within the next thirty days along with some behavioral steps; action, changed behavior for less than six months, maintenance, changed behavior for more than six months; termination, end of the behavior. These stages are not linear, so an individual can move up and down the stages of change indiscriminately.

during Stage three, the process weakens and may fold in on itself, taking the client backwards and

The fourth stage is performing; this stage focuses on completing the task. Coach Boone always told the team it is about being proud of what you have accomplished, regardless of the outcome. This is where a change in the team is really being noticed. Another example in the movie of this stage is when the team creates a new pre-game ritual which helps create a close attachment to team members. This is a warm-up before

Prochaska & DiClemente’s (1984) research suggests the Prochaska & DiClemente’s model of change is effective and has an impact in health promotion. The Prochaska & DiClemente’s model of change is becoming a more popular and widely used resource for health promotion; this is because it can be applied with a number of addictive behaviours such as smoking, drug use and alcohol abuse (Whitelaw, et al, 2000). The Prochaska & DiClemente’s model of change has six stages these include, Pre contemplation this is when the patient is not seriously considering change, Contemplation This is when the patient is thinking about change, Preparation when the

The first stage of change is the pre-contemplation stage. During this stage people have no plans

The strength of the stage two: define the issue is that you’re able determine problem presented by your client and plan the ways you to solve those problems and carry out your research.

Note: This stage is sometimes confused with Resignation, which is when the patient could not care less about her/his ordeal, thinks

According to Herman et al 2011, when we, as humans, hear reasons why we should change, our minds automatically contemplate reasons why we shouldn’t. In this situation the patient has other “issues” going on in her life at the present moment rather that quitting smoking. As a nurse I have to accept this. It was poorly portrayed in the digital recording in my opinion.

It was exactly 11 years ago when Amanda’s world changed. Amanda remembered her mother freaking out and crying because she had no clue what to do. That day made her life turn into a twisted mess. She became paralyzed from the waist down as a five year old.

In this stage thoughtful and deliberate choice replaces the instant gratification of pleasure in the first stage. In this stage man focuses of self-reflection and chooses to create ethical values by which he will live his life. Once man has reflected to the point of realizing that ‘he is involved in something more profound, he is faced with another either/or decision to stay at this stage or take a leap of faith and live a Christian life.

     The third and final phase is called the reorganization phase; the victim becomes “reorganized over time and

The strategy has three stages: diagnosis, design and implementation, each subdivided into several steps (see Mayon-White 1993: 136).

This stage is often also referred to as a transitional stage or a 'clean-up stage ". Organization
