Models of Health and Illness: Health Belief Model, Health Promotion Model, Maslow’s Hierarch, Holistic
Health Models (focus of each model, components and stages of each model)
Health Belief Model- addresses the relationship between a person’s beliefs and behaviors
• Use this model to help plan care that will most effectively help patients maintain or
restore health and prevent illness
1. Component 1 involves an individual’s perception of susceptibility to an illness ex. A
patient needs to recognize the familial link for coronary heart disease to perceive
the personal risk of heart disease
2. Component 2 is an individual’s perception of the seriousness of the illness; it is
influenced and modified by demographic and sociographical variables, perceived
threats for the illness, and the cues to action ex. A patient may not perceive his heart
disease to be serious, which may affect the way he takes care of himself
3. Component 3 is the likelihood that a person will take preventative action; it results
from a person’s perception of the benefits of and barriers to taking action; preventive
actions include lifestyle changes, increased adherence to medical therapies, or a search
for medical advice/treatment (a patient’s perception of susceptibility and seriousness
of disease can help determine the likelihood of the patient partaking or not in
unhealthy behaviors)
Health Promotion Model- designed to be a “complimentary counterpart to models of health protection”;
it defines health as a positive, dynamic state, not merely the absence of disease
• health promotion is directed at increasing a patient’s level of well-being
1. individual characteristics and experiences
2. behavior specific knowledge and affect
3. behavioral outcomes, in which the patient commits to or changes a behavior
• each person is unique and has unique experiences and characteristics
