Stages of Change/Transtheoretical Model
Stages of Change In the Transtheoretical Model, change is a "process involving progress through a series of stages:"[25][27]
Stages of Change
In the Transtheoretical Model, change is a "process involving progress through a series of stages:"[25][27]
Precontemplation (Not Ready)-"People are not intending to take action in the foreseeable future, and can be unaware that their behaviour is problematic"
· People here learn more about healthy behavior:
· encouraged to think about the pros of changing their behavior and to feel emotions about the effects of their negative behavior on others.
· Precontemplators typically underestimate the pros of changing, overestimate the cons, and often are not aware of making such mistakes.
· One of the most effective steps that others can help with at this stage is to encourage them to become more mindful of their decision making and more conscious of the multiple benefits of changing an unhealthy behavior.
Contemplation (Getting Ready)-"People are beginning to recognize that their behaviour is problematic, and start to look at the pros and cons of their continued actions"
· At this stage, participants are intending to start the healthy behavior within the next 6 months.
· more aware of the pros of changing, their cons are about equal to their Pros. This ambivalence about changing can cause them to keep putting off taking action.
· learn about the kind of person they could be if they changed their behavior and learn more from people who behave in healthy ways.
· Others can influence and help effectively at this stage by encouraging them to work at reducing the cons of changing their behavior.
Preparation (Ready)-"People are intending to take action in the immediate future, and may begin taking small steps toward behaviour change"[nb 1]
· ready to start taking action within the next 30 days.
· They take small steps that they believe can help them make the healthy behavior a part of their lives.
· For example, they tell their friends and family that they want to change their behavior.
· People in this stage should seek support from friends they trust, tell people about their plan to change.
· number one concern is: when they act, will they fail? They learn that the better prepared they are, the more likely they are to keep progressing.
Action – "People have made specific overt modifications in modifying their problem behaviour or in acquiring new healthy behaviours"
· have changed their behavior within the last 6 months and need to work hard to keep moving ahead.
· need to learn how to strengthen their commitments to change and to fight urges
· progress by being taught techniques for keeping up their commitments:
o substituting activities related to the unhealthy behavior with positive ones
o rewarding themselves for taking steps toward changing
o avoiding people and situations that tempt them to behave in unhealthy ways.
Maintenance – "People have been able to sustain action for awhile and are working to prevent relapse"
People at this stage changed their behavior more than 6 months ago. It is important for people in this stage to be aware of situations that may tempt them to slip back into doing the unhealthy behavior—particularly stressful situations.
seek support from and talk with people whom they trust, spend time with people who behave in healthy ways, and remember to engage in healthy activities to cope with stress instead of relying on unhealthy behavior.
Termination – "Individuals have zero temptation and they are sure they will not return to their old unhealthy habit as a way of coping"[nb 2]
In addition, the researchers conceptualized "relapse" (recycling) which is not a stage in itself but rather the "return from Action or Maintenance to an earlier stage."[25][nb 3]
As people move toward Action and Maintenance, they rely more on commitments, conditioning, contingencies, environmental controls, and support.[28]
