Health Behavior Change and Treatment Adherence
註釋"Health Behavior Change and Treatment Adherence: Evidence-based Guidelines for Improving Healthcare (expanded second edition) offers powerful and practical guidance for health behavior change. Each year, in over a billion U.S. medical visits, health professionals work to prevent and treat disease. Close to half of their recommendations are not followed, however, and many people struggle with treatment adherence. This book provides the latest theory-driven and evidence-based solutions to these persistent challenges within a social-ecological framework. Highlights of this second edition include communication and trust in medical providers and institutions; decision-making and persuasion; the science of habit formation and maintenance; sociocultural influences; social media; new medical technologies (including eHealth and artificial intelligence); integrated healthcare delivery systems; and issues of public health policy. Written for a wide variety of students and practitioners in the health professions, this book offers numerous composite cases and clinical examples to illustrate important practice principles. Chapters contain tools for instruction and self-study including learning objectives, summaries, review questions, prompts for discussion and further study, and suggested readings, making it an ideal text for courses in medicine, nursing, allied health, public health, and behavioral science. This second edition offers further evidence-based strategies and applications for improving treatment adherence and health behavior change within clinical medical practice and health policy, in the context of new and developing medical treatments and models of healthcare delivery. With a readable and practical style, this book is also for anyone who wishes to take an active role in their own health and help others to do so"--
