The Self‐Care Motivation Model: Theory and Practice in Healthy Human Development

Abstract

Effective health education and behavior motivation programs are needed to promote the compliance of children and young adults with preventive health care practices. Health promotion and primary prevention programs must consider the entire individual as well as his or her environment if positive behavior changes are to be maintained. This paper introduces an innovative model for self-care motivation curriculum development. The model prescribes the use of value clarification, enhanced physical/cognitive/affective awareness, positive lifestyle choices, and self-reinforcement skills training whereby individuals learn to become self-motivated and reinforcing agents for their own primary preventive health practices. It is theorized that by developing self-care and self-regulation skills, students will achieve and maintain higher levels of wellness, thus improving the quality of their lives and ensuring healthy human development.

Making employees aware of these seven dimensions is the first step toward salutogenesis corporate wellness.…”

“…When a discrepancy exists between the environment and the individual, stress ensues, as well as mental or physical illness (Allison, 1997). An individual's environment has been shown to influence behavior, and any change in wellness should take into consideration an individual's environment, where some environments are more conducive to wellness than others (Dunn, 1977;Fischer et al, 2000;Horowitz, 1985;Hughes, 2006;Ureda & Yates, 2005).…”

Combined Diet and Exercise Intervention in the Workplace

“…Overall, the wellness program was based on the motivational principles studied by Horowitz (1985) and Fleury (1993), wherein participants in wellness programs are motivated to achieve positive results via personal awareness, thought activation, self-reinforcement, social support or social feedback, and shifting their perspectives toward an internal locus of control.…”
