“…Nevertheless, adoption may be facilitated by a prevalence of favorable opinions. Studies have shown that direct measures of attitude make a significant contribution toward physicians’ intention to implement a procedure (Khanna et al, 2009, B = .620, p < .001; Sable et al, 2006, r = .62, p < .001), although a meta-analysis of the efficacy of the Theory of Planned Behavior noted that it accounts for less variance when predicting observed behavior than when predicting self-reported behavior ( R 2 = .21 vs .32, respectively; Armitage & Conner, 2001). …”

This study empirically examined opinions of treatment providers regarding Contingency Management (CM) programs while controlling for experience with a specific efficacious CM program. In addition to empirically describing provider opinions, we examined whether the opinions of providers at the sites that implemented the CM program were more positive than those of matched providers at sites that did not implement it. Participants from 7 CM treatment sites (n = 76) and 7 matched non-participating sites (n = 69) within the same nodes of NIDA's Clinical Trials Network completed the Provider Survey of Incentives (PSI), which assesses positive and negative beliefs about incentive programs. An intent-to-treat analysis found no differences in the PSI summary scores of providers in CM program vs. matched sites, but correcting for experience with tangible incentives showed significant differences, with providers from CM sites reporting more positive opinions than those from matched sites. Some differences were found in opinions regarding costs of incentives and these generally indicated that participants from CM sites were more likely to see the costs as worthwhile. The results from the study suggest that exposing community treatment providers to incentive programs may itself be an effective strategy in prompting the dissemination of CM interventions.

“…Constructs from the theory of planned behavior (TPB) (Azjen & Fishbein, 1980;National Cancer Institute [NCI], 2005), social cognitive theory (SCT) (Bandura, 1982), and EB mindfulness literature (Rothaupt & Morgan, 2007;Shapiro, Brown, & Biegel, 2007) were utilized. Two of the constructs that influence behavioral change in the TPB are knowledge and attitudes or beliefs (Gehlert, 2006;NCI, 2005;Sable, Schwartz, Kelly, Lisbon, & Hall, 2006). Knowledge is the information needed to perform a behavior (NCI, 2005).…”

Emerging research demonstrates that mindfulness is effective in reducing health care worker burnout. The aim of this quantitative pilot study was to examine the effectiveness of a mindfulness intervention on social work students. The investigation utilized a pretest/posttest design. Findings from the study demonstrated an increase in knowledge (p < .001), self-efficacy (p < .001), and beliefs (p < .005) related to mindfulness following a group-based mindfulness intervention. Reflections on the first author's need to resist her group work instincts to test the effectiveness of the mindfulness intervention are shared.

“…Suggesting it is feasible to use a lengthy questionnaire and still maintain a significant sample size. Sable and colleagues [22] found subjective norms to be of little value in their research of emergency contraception prescribing behaviors in physicians. Subjective norms did not predict intention to prescribe.…”

Background: Physical activity has been identified as a behavior linked to reducing and preventing chronic disease. Physician counseling may represent an effective way to promote physical activity to a variety of populations. Still, counseling for physical activity is not broadly understood by physicians. Thus, the purpose of this study was to examine primary care provider's intention to counsel patients on engaging in physical activity. Methods: Using the Theory of Planned Behavior as a guide, a questionnaire was developed to investigate behavioral determinants for counseling patients on physical activity. Participants (n=26) were primary care providers in community clinics. To identify theoretical constructs influencing behavioral intention, two regressions were performed: 1) a multiple regression using direct measures of intention (Theory Model), and 2) a forward selection regression (Best Fit Model). Results: Subjective norms and perceived behavioral control accounted for the greatest variance in intention in both the Theory Model and Best Fit Model. Conclusions: Additional investigation can identify specific determinants that impact primary care providers' intention to counsel on PA.

Abstract: Interventions to encourage physicians to provide emergency contraception should take into account their attitudes toward the method and the components of those attitudes.
