Behavioral change techniques -
suggests that the use of an intensive course of CBT for 6 to 12 months may help to prevent and delay the onset of type 2 diabetes and hypertension. It is worth noting that these counselling approaches rely on the individual to engage in self-regulation.
Segmentation of the relevant market allows for interventions to be targeted. A major example of a social marketing campaign is Change4life, launched in the UK in Ongoing support was provided to families via post and online social media e.
In addition, , at-risk families received support packs, and 44, of these families were still interacting six months later. Social marketing as an approach to changing behaviour has been criticised, as it is hard to promote the immediate benefits of healthy lifestyle choices.
Behaviour e. physical activity is not the same as a product like running shoes , and in social marketing a consumable item is not exchanged between a producer and consumer. Therefore social marketing interventions should not be regarded as the sole means of changing behaviour.
Making salad the default side dish, or making the stairs a more attractive choice than taking the lift are examples. The reformulation of products, when recipes are modified to improve their nutritional content, is also an example.
Unsurprisingly, there has been a lot of debate about how ethical it is to nudge people in ways that they do not notice, and whether it is effective.
The age of technology widens the possibilities for changing behaviour. E-health interventions, delivered using the internet, are increasingly common. They are often cited as being cost-effective, but there is a lack of data to assess this. The most effective internet-based interventions at changing behaviour appear to be more extensively based on theory particularly the theory of planned behaviour and use a number of techniques.
The use of additional communication methods, particularly SMS short message service or text messaging to send motivational messages e.
reminders of the benefits of exercise, facilitates behaviour change. Mobile phones are good candidates for the delivery of behavioural interventions. The advancement of mobile technology to include internal sensors of user location, movement, emotion, and social engagement, raises the prospect of continuous and automated tracking of health-related behaviours.
This supports self-regulatory techniques e. goal-setting and monitoring. Such interventions may be cheaper, more convenient, or less stigmatising due to private participation. Also, connectivity allows the sharing of behavioural and health data among health professionals or peers, which may facilitate behaviour change.
There is rapid development and interest in Smartphone Apps, however research on their evaluation is still immature.
The challenge will be maintaining long term use and effective behaviour change. Video games are another platform that engages the audience. This entertaining and interactive technology has demonstrated the ability to positively influence health-related behaviour.
Research is in the early stages of understanding how such games are designed for maximum effects. An innovative approach for one-to-one consultations is telephone-counselling, which can provide access to remote clients.
In Canada there are dedicated tele-health dietitian services, with limited evaluations Dial-A-Dietitian, EatRight Ontario. Early evaluations suggest that this approach holds promise though more evidence is needed before standards of practice and guidelines can be developed.
Researchers are starting to explore how online technologies can be designed to make them maximally effective. Numerous frameworks aim to encourage and support the integration of behaviour change theory into the design of interventions. An example of such a framework is shown in the box below.
The differential effects on different population groups should be considered in the design and monitoring of interventions and requires a thorough understanding of the behaviour and the audience.
Interventions should be targeted, based on relevant audience characteristics. Engaging the audience, so that they are partners in the process of change, seems effective at bringing about lasting change.
It should be remembered that models tend to focus on personal and social factors influencing change. Additional work may be needed to identify influencing factors at the environmental level. The process of designing a behaviour change intervention first involves understanding the target behaviour and selecting a broad approach, and then designing the specific behaviour change techniques to be used.
Finally, some scholars suggest focusing on social practices patterns of action which bring together different ways of 'doing and saying'. Meta Anal Health Psychol. Greaves CJ, Sheppard KE, Abraham C, Hardeman W, Roden M, Evans PH, et al.

Patients should track when they got in bed, how long it took to fall asleep, how frequently they woke up and for how long, what time they woke up for the day, and what time they got out of bed. Many different sleep diaries exist, but the American Academy of Sleep Medicine's version is especially user-friendly.
In the next clinic appointment, briefly explain how the body regulates sleep. This includes the sleep drive how the pressure to sleep is based on how long the person has been awake and circadian rhythms the hour biological clock that regulates the sleep-wake cycle.
Set a wake-up time. Have patients pick a wake-up time that will work for them every day. Encourage them to set an alarm for that time and get up at that time every day, no matter how the previous night went. Add 30 minutes to that average and explain that the patient should be in bed only for that amount of time per night until your next appointment.
Set a target bedtime. For example, if a patient brings in a sleep diary with an average of six hours of sleep per night for the past two weeks, her recommended total time in bed will be 6. If she picks a wake-up time of 7 a. It usually takes up to three weeks of regular sleep scheduling and sleep restriction for patients to start seeing improvements in their sleep.
As patients' sleep routines become more solid i. Physicians should encourage patients to increase time in bed in increments of 15 to 30 minutes per week until the ideal amount of sleep is reached.
This amount is different for each patient, but patients generally have reached their ideal amount of sleep when they are sleeping more than 85 percent of the time in bed and feel rested during the day. Patient education to prevent medication nonadherence.
Medication adherence can be challenging for many patients. In fact, approximately 20 percent to 30 percent of prescriptions are never picked up from the pharmacy, and 50 percent of medications for chronic diseases are not taken as prescribed.
To help patients improve medication adherence, physicians must determine the reason for nonadherence. The most common reasons are forgetfulness, fear of side effects, high drug costs, and a perceived lack of efficacy. To help patients change these beliefs, physicians can take several steps:.
Educate patients on four key aspects of drug therapy — the reason for taking it indication , what they should expect efficacy , side effects and interactions safety , and how it structurally and financially fits into their lifestyle convenience. Help patients make taking their medication a routine of their daily life.
For example, if a patient needs to use a controller inhaler twice daily, recommend using the inhaler before brushing his or her teeth each morning and night. Ask patients to describe their day, including morning routines, work hours, and other responsibilities to find optimal opportunities to integrate this new behavior.
The five Rs to quitting smoking. Despite the well-known consequences of smoking and nationwide efforts to reduce smoking rates, approximately 15 percent of U. adults still smoke cigarettes. Motivational interviewing techniques can be useful to explore a patient's ambivalence in a way that respects his or her autonomy and bolsters self-efficacy.
Discussing the five Rs is a helpful approach for exploring ambivalence with patients: Help the patient determine obstacles he or she may face when quitting. Common barriers include weight gain, stress, fear of withdrawal, fear of failure, and having other smokers such as coworkers or family in close proximity.
Many patients opt to cut back on the amount of tobacco they use before their quit date. However, research shows that cutting back on the number of cigarettes is no more effective than quitting abruptly, and setting a quit date is associated with greater long-term success.
Once the patient sets a quit date, repeated physician contact to reinforce smoking cessation messages is key. Physicians, care coordinators, or clinical staff should consider calling or seeing the patient within one to three days of the quit date to encourage continued efforts to quit, as this time period has the highest risk for relapse.
Evidence shows that contacting the patient four or more times increases the success rate in staying abstinent. Family physicians are uniquely positioned to provide encouragement and evidence-based advice to patients to change unhealthy behaviors. The proven techniques described in this article are brief enough to attempt during clinic visits.
They can be used to encourage physical activity, healthy eating, better sleep, medication adherence, and smoking cessation, and they can help patients adjust their lifestyle, improve their quality of life, and, ultimately, lower their risk of early mortality.
