Behaviour change training development:A Needs Assessment Questionnaire Stephan Dombrowski Health Psychologist in Training s.dombrowski@nhs.net Anticipatory Care Practitioners Network Event 5th May 2009
The Importance of Behaviour “Lifestyle” behaviours major cause of avoidable deaths (Mokdad, 2004) General population Primary Prevention ↓ harmful behaviours • Smoking • Alcohol use • Poor diet • Unsafe sex • Risky driving ↑ protective behaviours • Physical activity • Healthy diet • Safe driving • Safe drinking • Safe sex Patients Secondary prevention ↑ Adherence to treatment ↓ Delay in seeking help Health professionals ↑ implementation of evidence-based practice
Needs Assessment Outline Five questionnaire sections • Previous training • Specific behaviour change techniques • Thoughts on behaviour change practice • Training preference • Barriers to training
1. Previous Training Why? • Shows where people are at • Shows the difference between people • Shows what has been useful/ less useful • Avoids repetition
Meeting with health care professional: Behaviour change techniques Information provision What the client thinks: Perceptions, beliefs and cognitions Knowledge Verbal persuasion Attitude Overall goal setting Motivation Behaviour Change Specific goal setting Intention Action & coping planning Planning Self-monitoring Action Control 2. Specific Behaviour Change Techniques Why? • Used in behaviour change practice aimed at what the client thinks and does Abraham, Sheeran, & Johnston, 1998;Michie & Abraham, 2004;Michie et al., 2005
Behaviour Change Techniques • Key strategies aimed at changing behaviour • “Tools” that make up behaviour change practice • Reportable • Replicable • Effective • Generic • How many techniques are there? • Taxonomy: 26 techniques Abraham & Michie (2008) • Literature search: 137 techniques Michie et al. (2008)
A Taxonomy of Techniques 1.General information 2. Information on consequences 3. Information about approval 4. Prompt intention formation 5. Specific goal setting 6. Graded tasks 7. Barrier identification 8. Behavioral contract 9. Review goals 10. Provide instruction 11. Model/ demonstrate 12. Prompt practice 13. Prompt monitoring 14. Provide feedback 15. General encouragement 16. Contingent rewards 17. Teach to use cues 18. Follow up prompts 19. Social comparison 20. Social support/ change 21. Role model 22. Prompt self talk 23. Relapse prevention 24. Stress management 25. Motivational interviewing 26. Time management Michie & Abraham, 2008
Evidence Which message might be more effective if you want to change somebody‘s smoking behaviour? • Suggests which techniques to use/teach • Can prevent: • Ineffective training • Backfire effects • Unwanted effects • Suggests how to use the techniques
Sources of Evidence • Research studies, e.g. Randomised Controlled Trials • (Systematic) reviews, e.g. Cochrane reviews, HTA reviews • Guidelines, e.g. SIGN, NICE
3. Thoughts on Behaviour Change Practice Why? • Understand health care professional’s view on proving behaviour change practice (a behaviour in itself) Behaviour change Behaviour change Health care professional Patient Health Marteau, Dieppe, Foy, Kinmonth, & Schneiderman, 2006
4. Training preference Why? • Pick up any perceived training need • Match perceived training needs with the evidence base • Get further indication which techniques might be most important for training
5. Barriers to training Why? • Make sure health care professionals can actually turn up for training. “What use is the nicest son-in-law if he doesn’t score?” Uli Hoeneß
Take home mesasges Behavioural focus is important Behaviour change is complex Behaviour change techniques = tools for change Evidence is crucial in plannning training Practicalities limit training The needs assessment combines evidence with need & available resources
