Health Belief Model: by Sheela Rajakumari .J MSC Nursing 1St Year

The health belief model (HBM) was developed in the 1950s to understand health behaviors. It has three main components: perceived susceptibility, perceived severity, and perceived benefits/barriers. The model suggests that health-related actions depend on perceptions of threat posed by illness and the value of taking preventive action. It includes constructs like cues to action, self-efficacy, and modifying variables. The HBM aims to explain and predict health behaviors by focusing on attitudes and beliefs.
