The “Theory of Planned Behaviour” is a clinical tool used to predict and explain why people engage in risky behaviours. It considers the influence of factors such as one’s attitude, perceived behavioural control, and intention to carry out the behaviour. This patient is not carrying out risky behaviour (e.g. smoking), so this model is not appropriate.

This framework looks at the factors which affect one’s beliefs about their health such as perceived susceptibility, severity, and cues to action. This patient does not see his health as a problem, so the Health Belief Model would be a good model to use to challenge his beliefs about his health.

The ‘Biomedical Model’ is an approach that considers the influence of biological factors (e.g. hormones) on human behaviour. It has been criticized for biological reductionism as it does not consider the possible influence of environmental and cognitive factors on behaviour. This model is therefore inappropriate.

The ‘Stages of Change Model’ identifies which stage of behavioural change a person is currently in. The 6 stages in this model are pre-contemplation, contemplation, preparation, action, maintenance and relapse. This patient does not consider his weight to be a problem so would not even be in the pre-contemplation stage. Hence, this model is not appropriate.

The COM-B model looks at 3 factors - capability, opportunity and motivation - all of which affect our ability and probability of carrying out a risky behaviour. This patient is not carrying out risky behaviour (e.g. smoking), so this model is not appropriate.

He is found to have a BMI of 33 kg/m2. The GP advises him to start an exercise programme to lose weight, however, the patient does not see a problem with his weight.

What is the most appropriate model of health to use in this situation?
