In which nursing theory are the concepts of perceived susceptibility, perceived threat, and cues to action important?

  1. Self-Efficacy Theory

  2. Health Belief Model

  3. Social Cognitive Theory

  4. Transtheoretical Model

The correct answer is: Health Belief Model

The Health Belief Model is a psychological framework that helps explain and predict health behaviors by emphasizing the role of individual perceptions in the decision-making process regarding health. The concepts of perceived susceptibility and perceived threat are central to this model. Perceived susceptibility refers to an individual's assessment of their risk of experiencing a health problem, which influences their motivation to engage in health-promoting behavior. Perceived threat involves the perceived seriousness of the potential health issue, which can further motivate individuals to take preventive actions. Cues to action are reminders or triggers that prompt someone to engage in health-related behaviors, reinforcing the importance of these perceptions. Collectively, these components work together to encourage individuals to take proactive steps to protect their health, making the Health Belief Model a valuable tool for designing health interventions and educational programs.
