This case report shares our experience using the transtheoretical model of health behavior change to promote exercise in a type 2 diabetes patient. The patient was under our care from May through July 2006, during which time the patient was under regular observation and interviewed to collect data. A total of two outpatient consultations and five telephone interviews were conducted. An analysis of results showed the subject to be in the preparation stage of behavior change. To help move the subject into the action stage, the author promoted regular exercise through a variety of strategies, including self-reevaluation, self-change plan development, self-liberation, contingency management, social support search and environmental reevaluation. After nursing intervention, the subject maintained an exercise journal and arranged his own exercise plan. His exercise regimen gradually increased the frequency and intensity of exercise and further extended the scope of exercise to include regular exercise with family members. The author hopes that this case report may provide a reference for health professionals on the use of the transtheoretical model of health behavior change in the care of this type of patient. |
