    Introduction
    The Health Belief Model (HBM) is one of the first theories
    of health behavior that was developed in the 1950's by a group
    of US public health service to understand the failure of people to
    adopt disease prevention strategies or screening tests for the
    early detection of disease. This model is good for addressing
    problem behaviors that evoke health concerns. Health belief
    model postulates that health-seeking behavior is influenced by a
    person’s perception of a threat posed by a health problem
    and the value associated with actions aimed at reducing the
    threat.
    What is Health Belief Model?
    ★ It is a good model for addressing problem behaviors
    that evoke health concern like high-risk sexual
    behavior and the possibility of contracting HIV. This
    proposes that a person’s health related behavior
    depends on the person’s perception of four critical
    areas:

    ○ the severity of a potential illness,


    ○ the person's susceptibility to that illness,
    ○ the benefits of taking a preventive action, and
    ○ the barriers to taking that action.
    What is Health Belief Model?

    ★ Health Belief Model addresses the relationship between a


    person’s beliefs and behaviors. It provides a way to
    understand and predict how clients will behave in relation
    to their health and how they will comply with health care
    therapies.
    The Major Concepts and
    Definition of Health
    Belief Model
    - Perceived Susceptibility: refers to a person’s
    perception that a health problem is personally relevant
    or that a diagnosis of illness is accurate.
    - Perceived severity: even when one recognizes
    personal susceptibility, action will not occur unless the
    individual perceives the severity to be high enough to
    have serious organic or social complications.
    - Perceived benefits: refers to the patient’s belief that a
    given treatment will cure the illness or help to prevent
    it.
    - Perceived Costs: refers to
    the complexity, duration, and
    accessibility of the treatment.
    - Motivation: includes the
    desire to comply with a
    treatment and the belief that
    people should do what.
    - Modifying factors: include
    personality variables, patient
    satisfaction, and
    socio-demographic factors.
    Criticism in Health Belief Model

    ● Is health behavior that rational?


    ● Its emphasis on the individual (HBM ignores social and economic
    factors)
    ● The absence of a role for emotional factors such as fear and
    denial.
    ● Alternative factors may predict health behavior, such as outcome
    expectancy and self-efficacy (Seydel et al. 1990; Schwarzer 1992.
    SUMMARY:
    ● Health Belief Model is a theoretical framework for health promotion and
    disease prevention programs
    ● Used to describe and anticipate changes in individual health behaviors
    ● It states that people’s beliefs influence their health-related actions or behaviors.
    ● There are six components of the Health Belief Model.
    ● Critics also claim that the model is more concerned with defining health habits
    rather than with explaining how to improve them.
