Perceived benefits and barriers

Self-caring in diabetes includes, personal, psychological, and social factors, which its cognition and perception help health services suppliers to plan and carry out desirable intervention to promote diabetic self-management behaviors. Perceived benefits and barriers have an important role in the self-care process among diabetes. Galsgow showed there is a significant, but reverse relationship between perceived barriers and self-caring behaviors. Psychological barriers are important factors in self-management behaviors. ⁵⁶ , ⁵⁷ , ⁵⁸

There is a meaningful relationship between perceived benefits, barriers, and severity of the disease and preventive behaviors of diabetes complications. Perceived barriers lead to follow less prescriptive orders of health and treatment care workers. ⁵⁹ Wen et al., showed as perceived barriers among his research groups increase, prescribed physical activity and following nutritional diet decrease. ⁶⁰ Koch, indicated a negative significant correlation between perceived barriers and self-caring behaviors. ⁶¹

Perceived barriers are important factors in the self-care process. ⁶² , ⁶³ Important barriers are non-awareness of healthy nutritional program, lack of support and perception of self-management. ⁶³ Rothman et al. showed inappropriate diet and sport habit in these patients was related with perceived barriers. ⁶⁴ It is seen in Krichbaum et al. study too. In his systematic review, he explains as perceived barriers rise; self-caring behaviors go down. ⁶⁵ Whittemore emphasized that planners should pay attention to this factor in their educational interventions. ⁶⁶

Corina believes as perceived barriers increase, significant decrease happens in diabetic self-caring action. ⁶⁷ The same results were seen in Adams et al. and Karter et al.′s studies. ⁶⁸ , ⁶⁹ Juan and Patti explain that perceived barriers have the strongest relationship with self-caring behaviors. ⁷⁰ , ⁷¹ In spite of different studies, which exhibited reverse and significant relationship between self-caring behaviors and perceived barriers, one study did not receive this negative correlation. ⁷²

Perceived benefits are on the opposite side of perceived barriers which has an important role in diabetic patients self-caring. Pinto explained perceived benefits increase self-caring in diabetic patients. ⁷³ Koch ⁶¹ and Patino et al. ⁷⁴ also revealed there is a direct and meaningful correlation between patients′ perception of self-caring benefits and obedient of these behaviors. Toobert et al. ⁷⁵ and Charron et al. ⁷⁶ found the same results. Abood et al. points that as diabetic patients′ perception of self-caring behaviors benefits increases, this action goes up. ⁷⁷ Wen et al. ⁶⁰ explains net benefits (perceived benefits minus perceived barriers) have a direct relationship with self-caring behaviors. These studies found an important role for perceived benefits and barriers in the way that they showed a direct and significant relationship between perceived benefits with self-caring behaviors, but reverse and meaningful relationship with the perceived barriers. Perceived benefits refer to profitable perception of an action in order to decrease the disease risks we must point individuals tend to spend their time and resources in activities, which increase positive results of their experiences with more likelihood. ⁷⁸

On the other hand, perceived barriers refer to the beliefs about real costs. It includes perceived negative aspects, which are potential and acts as barriers for doing behavior. In relation with the health promotion behaviors, the barriers may be imaginary or real. They are of imagination related to in availability, inappropriate, costly, difficult or time-consuming of a special action. Barriers are considered as obstacles or personal costs of behavior. ⁷⁸ In fact, barriers generally stimulate a motivation to prevent gaining behavior and when an action readiness is low, but barriers are high, the action is impossible to happen. When action readiness is high and barriers are low, probability of the action is higher. ⁷⁹ Studied articles related to perceived benefits and barriers are summarized in Table 1.{Table 1}

Interpersonal effects (social support)

Since, the diabetes is a disease, which needs an extensive behavioral changes and dietary monitoring, interpersonal effects, and social support is an effective factor in the self-caring process. ⁸⁰ , ⁸¹ The major part of caring in this disease is carried out in the house and in the family, which makes this disease to be called as a family disease. ⁸² Perceived social support in diabetic patients is not in an acceptable level. ⁸³ Gillibrand and Cooper et al.′s studies clarifi ed that diabetic patients require others′ support and social support is not set in an appropriate condition among these patients. ⁷² , ⁸⁴ As the support increases, usually, dietary intakes improve. ⁶⁰ Gillibrand and Stevenson ⁷² and Albright et al. ⁸⁵ revealed, a positive and significant relationship between social support and self-caring behaviors. They declared that social and family background is strongly followed by self-caring behaviors especially in the dietary intake area.

One of introduced barriers about following nutritional recommendation is the lack of social and family support. According to the results of a study, those who received more family support, easily followed nutritional diet and were more successful in their program. ⁸⁶ Galsgow also believes social support is the most powerful determining factor in patients adherence to the prescribed diet among diabetic patients. ⁸⁷ Other researches show social support in these groups is effective in their tendency to self-caring activities. ⁸⁸ , ⁸⁹

Family support has high effect on following nutritional recommendation and doing the prescribed sport in diabetics. ⁹⁰ , ⁹¹ Moreover, emotional stresses and lack of family support are self-caring barriers among these patients. ⁶² Trief et al., in a 2 years research, came to this idea that married quality status (intimacy and adjustment) predicts faithfulness to self-caring aspects (dietary intake, sport and physician′s recommendation). ⁸⁰ Support and self-confidence is important predictors in metabolic control and following dietary intake among diabetic women. ⁹²

Factors such as intimacy among the family, existence or non-existence of conflict in the family and emotional situation in the family effect on patients′ self-efficacy. ⁹³ Garay-Sevilla et al. also relates the faithfulness to dietary recommendation and medicine to social and family support. ⁹⁴ Hiroshi pointed to social support and its resources on diabetes treatment and control. ⁹⁵ Based on Gleeson-Kreig et al.′s study, the more patient receives supports from family, the more is faithful to follow the self-caring activities. ⁸⁸ Therefore, in a study on 98 patients, Ilias concluded suitable hemoglobin level is related with the received social support of the family. ⁹⁶ The same results are in other researches. ⁹⁷ , ⁹⁸ Of course in Chlebowy and Garvin study, there was not seen any significant correlation between social support and behavior. ⁹⁹

As a whole, researches have shown that there is a significant relationship between social support and health in the way that those who have more social support, are healthier. In his Health Promotion Model, Pender has posed family support as interpersonal effects, which can predict health promotion behaviors. Any way, it is seen, social support is correlated with the following self-caring behaviors. Since, support and family close relationship in Iranian culture have a special situation, it seems presenting enough information about diabetes to patients′ close relatives and their cooperation and involvement in the treatment process and also the disease control can make the team work easier and help them to get maximum life quality and health. Studied articles related to social support are summarized in Table 2.{Table 2}

Perceived self-efficacy

Today, we have evidences that one of the effective factor in self-caring of chronic patients especially, diabetes is self-efficacy. It is an important pre-requisite of behavior because it is as an independent part of individual basic skills. Of course, it must be pointed that the role of self-efficacy in starting and preserving healthy behaviors is shown in different researches. ¹⁰⁰ , ¹⁰¹

The studied researches findings point that self-efficacy is not in a desirable level in diabetic groups. ¹⁰² Bernal explains it is from medium to weak level. ¹⁰² Most of the researches indicated that self-efficacy impacts on self-caring behaviors. ¹⁰² Bernal studied the self-efficacy correlation in diabetes self-caring and concluded that it is related with self-caring of nutritional diet. ¹⁰²

Wen et al. who studied family support, nutritional diet and sport in American Mexican elderly diabetic individuals, observed that as self-efficacy raises, they better follow healthy nutritional diet. ⁶⁰ In Aljasem′s research who studied self-efficacy and barriers approach of self-caring behaviors in type 2 diabetes, found self-efficacy clarifies 4-10% of self-caring variance, and it is the most powerful predictor of these behaviors. ⁵⁷ These were the same as Walker et al.′s results. ¹⁰³ Stuifbergen et al. came to this point that increasing self-efficacy related to healthy behaviors can improve and promote these behaviors. ¹⁰¹ Krichbaum ⁶⁵ and Norris et al. ¹⁰⁴ also showed self-efficacy has a positive effect in diabetic healthy behaviors.

Bonds et al. ¹⁰⁵ found a direct and significant relationship between self-efficacy and self-caring in his study on American diabetic patients. Walker et al. ¹⁰³ and Woon ¹⁰⁶ study explains the self-efficacy predictor role for nutritional behaviors based on the regression analysis results. Tan also revealed a direct and significant relationship between self-efficacy and preventive behaviors in type 2 diabetic patients in China. ⁵⁹ The basic role of self-efficacy in weight control is also clarified in some studies. ¹⁰⁷ Remond declares the same results; ¹⁰⁸ However, contrary to the past researches, Gillibrand and Stevenson ⁷² and Chlebowy et al.′s ⁹⁹ finding did not show any meaningful relationship between self-efficacy and glycemic control.

To Bandora, self-efficacy is the most powerful construct in predicting behavior change and generally those who show the most behavior change, have higher self-efficacy level to do special behaviors. ¹⁰⁹ Self-efficacy effects on motivation and the stronger beliefs cause to repeat the behavior to come to his/her purpose; Thus, an individual with low self-efficacy is less doing healthy new behaviors or trying to change habitual behaviors. Based on the different researches about the effect of self-efficacy on function and behavior, this feeling has determining role in patients′ self-caring success especially in their nutritional behavior. Therefore, in self-caring behavior change process of diabetic patients, self-efficacy promotion is very important. Studied articles related to self-efficacy are summarized in Table 3.{Table 3}

Activity related effect

Chronic disease such as diabetes ruins family life and individuals′ view to future, ¹¹⁰ , ¹¹¹ threatens personal independency and creates dissimilar feeling with others. ¹¹² Diabetes complications effect on patients′ life aspects such as physical, psychological, social, economic, and family life. Researches have revealed that diabetes has a negative effect on general health, good feeling and life quality. ¹¹³

It must be pointed if chronic disease is followed by depression prevalence, it is 3 times more in these groups and depression is about 61%. ¹¹⁴ , ¹¹⁵ Depression has a key role in controlling diabetes complications. ¹¹⁶ , ¹¹⁷ , ¹¹⁸ Depression is followed by the diabetic self-caring behaviors weakness and it may be one of risk factors for not doing self-caring behaviors. ¹¹⁹ , ¹²⁰ In Lin′s study, non-depressive diabetic patients can better control their blood sugar. Paul also showed that diabetic patients with low self-caring level have higher depressive level and lower general health. Gonzalez et al. explained that depression is related with not following self-caring aspects. ¹¹⁶

Recent researches showed diabetic individuals talk about fear, phobia, ¹²¹ distress, grief and guilt feeling, and describe diabetic life as stressful experience. ¹²² In other study, the most important problem in diabetes self-caring was depression, stress, anxiety, fear, and worry in glycemic control. ¹²³ Snock knew stress as one of the self-caring barriers in diabetic patients. ¹²⁴ One of self-caring barriers in Guimaraes′ research was unfounded fears. ¹²⁵

Patients who do not have desirable self-caring level had more feeling of failure and disappointment. Because of this, they do not have the necessary motivation to take care of themselves and control the disease. ¹²⁶ Some of problems in individuals of chronic disease are unpleasant mental imagination, fear of rejection, relationship problem with peers, fear of dependency and worry about self-efficacy. ¹²⁷ Bulsara talks about better future hopefulness in challenging with the disease as an effective factor to being powerful in patients following prescribed diet. ¹²⁸

Ajoolat and Koorbin showed negative feeling in diabetic patients ¹²⁹ because diabetes is followed with society negative view which labels the patients, threatens individuals′ identity and increase negative feeling exposure. Rubin et al. declares that self-caring instructional program can better control patients′ metabolic and good feeling and show meaningful increase of being good level and self-caring behaviors. ¹³⁰ Littel suggested cognitive intervention can be used for patients who have not good feeling, self-confidence, and self-efficacy in order to control diabetes. ¹³¹ In America, vendern explained diabetic patients have higher self-caring, are more adjustable and have lower psychological problems. ¹³² Glasgow and Toobert also reported that patients′ satisfaction of treatment and being in good level is as effective level in following self-caring. ¹³³ It must be noted that feeling status related to behavior has been recognized in recent researches as an indicator of health behaviors. Feeling associated with behavior creates a direct emotional reaction or internal level response to think about this behavior, whether it is positive or negative, whether it is ridiculous, enjoyable or unpleasant? Behaviors following with the positive feeling are rarely repeated whereas those following with the negative results are probably prevented. Sometimes some behaviors are probably followed with the negative and positive feeling. Therefore, it is necessary to study the relative balance between positive and negative feelings before, during and after the behavior. Studied articles related to activity related effect are summarized in Table 4.{Table 4}

Situational influence

An individuals′ recognition and perception of any situation or area can facilitate or inhibit behavior. Situational influences are in the health promotion behavior and consist of understanding available selections, request features and environmental aesthetic in which the behaviors conducted. The families must pay attention to this point that eating and preparing inappropriate food for diabetic individuals lead to an environment where they never follow their diet. This is the same as environmental effective factors which Pender declares as influenced factor impacts directly or indirectly on behavior in his Health Promotion Model. Eating food by the family which is not in these patients′ diet is considerable point in unsupportive family behaviors.

In a research, forgetfulness, inaccessibility to appropriate food in the restaurant and lack of an idea in cooking are basic obstacles to get the nutritional purposes. ¹³⁴ Monge-Rojas believed social environment does not prepare the facilities to choose healthy food. ¹³⁵ Various literatures have explained family and peers have an important role in nutritional behaviors of studied individuals. ⁹¹ , ¹³⁶ In other researches, the family members′ taste is introduced as one of the important factor in unhealthy nutrition in the society which is more in women. ¹³⁷ , ¹³⁸ Peers′ support is one of environmental impact factor in following self-caring behaviors in Cooper′s study. ⁸⁴

Different qualitative researches have assessed the unfulfillment of suitable self-caring in diabetic patients and introduced the personal and environmental barriers for suitable self-caring in diabetes. ⁵⁶ , ¹³⁹ Davison and Berch, through mental models introduction of illness basic factor, personal characteristics, family, peers, and environment in a broader scale have made necessary the socio cultural conditions of each society, the exact investigation of these factors before planning any kind of intervention. ¹⁴⁰

Anyway, individuals are attracted to the situations and the area where they are more feeling adjusted, related and are healthy and secure, and where they feel un adjustment, unrelated, unhealthy and threatening, they never have acceptable function. As a result, we can explain situational influences have direct or indirect effect in healthy behaviors, and it is an important key to extend more effective strategies to facilitate gaining and preserving health promotion behavior. Studied articles related to situational influence are summarized in Table 5.{Table 5}

Commitment to plan of action

World Health Organization has announced the rate of diabetic patients′ faithfulness to self-caring behaviors is 50% in developed countries and less than 50% in developing countries. ¹⁴¹ Other researches show that the diabetic patients′ commitment and faithfulness is in low level and treatment plan in acceptance is a major problem in these patients which is from 30% to 60%. ²⁷ , ³⁶ In a study conducted by Harris and Lustman 35-75% of patients never follow their diet, 30-70% control their sugar intake, 23-52% never take care of their feet, and 70-80% never have physical exercise. ¹⁴² Today we know that treatment and prevention of diabetic complications depend on the individual′s desire and will power in self-management and self-caring behaviors. ¹⁴³ , ¹⁴⁴ , ¹⁴⁵ For example, in a study in America, 40% of patients do not follow their dietary recommendation. ¹⁴⁶ With many evidences due to the impact of treatment diet on diabetes, it is difficult to change diet and its preservation for the patients. In spite of enough awareness, lack of following the nutritional diet is repeated in some researches. ³⁰ , ⁴³ The investigations in different countries indicate the difficulty of following the nutritional diet and patients do not commit to follow the self-caring recommendation. ⁴²

Chapman′s aimed to study the effect of psychosocial variables on related behaviors with diabetes self-controlling based on the health beliefs and planned behaviors and he explained the more is the barriers, the less is the commitment to follow healthy and recommended diets. ¹⁴⁷ In Maizlish′s study, the diabetic patients who do not follow recommended diets have not desirable blood sugar control. Story et al. consider the basic role of motivation in dietary commitment and lack of it, is an important factor to fail in life-style changes. ¹⁴⁸

Dietrich points to not enough understanding of the disease seriousness as decreased factor in self-caring behaviors. ¹⁴⁹ Witimor in his research showed the rate of treatment diet commitment and faithfulness has been increased with the family support. He declared it predicts self-caring faithfulness. He also introduced patients′ satisfaction of treatment and caring as another behavior in self-caring commitment. ⁹² Trief et al. and Epple et al. believed social support is an important and effective factor in patients′ commitment to treatment, which facilitates adjustment and self-caring behaviors. ⁸⁰ , ⁸¹ The inhibited role of exaggerated purposes and unrealities are the decreased effective factor in treatment diet commitment. ¹⁵⁰ , ¹⁵¹

The nature of long-time treatment diet in chronic disease causes tiredness and in commitment to diet therapy. ¹⁵² Therefore, the improvement of faithfulness and self-caring behaviors is the first step to disease caring and managing. Those who can manage themselves diabetes take it serious and have the commitment to self-caring behaviors. ¹⁵³ They can make parallel diabetes self-management with the daily life. ¹⁵⁴

To increase the treatment faithfulness, the following points are suggested: Simple treatment diets organization, encouragement and rewards to follow the diet, families, and friends′ support. ¹⁵⁵ Based on some researches, when caring is offered in patient-centered with empathy and concern and also their needs, values and preferences, patients′ cooperation and his/her independency in making the decision and commitment to treatment will increase. ¹⁵⁶ Thus, commitment for a plan is an initiator of a behavior event. It leads to behavior and goes ahead during the behavior. Studied articles related to commitment to plan of action are summarized in Table 6.{Table 6}

Immediate competing demands and preferences

Individuals′ abilities are different to consider healthy behaviors and prevent them. Some people can be fluctuated in behavior or cut an activity. Immediate competing demands and preferences are some activities in behavior, which is appeared before aimed events and can overshadow the exposure of healthy behaviors.

To Brekke and Sunesson, considerable attention to some food leads to lack of self-caring in diabetes. ¹³⁴ In Vijan et al.′s study; one of diabetic patients′ preferences is to prepare food with low-cost in spite of the conflict with the recommended diets. ⁸⁶ Story and Stang pointed to taste and flavor as criteria to choose food. ¹⁵⁷ In Robin′s research, taste, and the flavor was a barrier to choose healthy food in diabetics. ⁶⁶ In fact, food attraction, design, and decoration are effective on choosing any food in the way that colorful package and confections with low nutritional values may impact on the choice. ¹⁵⁸ Food preferences are influenced by many factors, affecting on nutritional behaviors, which are clear in Pirouznia and Naska et al. ¹⁵⁹ , ¹⁶⁰ Lord and Richman have paid attention to patients′ preferences and competing demands as impact factors on self-caring behaviors, which lead to treatment diet faithfulness and noted to simplicity and complexity of treatment diet as preferences. ¹⁵⁸ , ¹⁶¹

Hosseyni et al. ¹⁶² and Kelishadi et al. ¹⁶³ know the patients′ tendency to some foods and unhealthy diets such as fried food, which is consistent with individuals′ taste as impact factors on the lack of self-caring behaviors.

Richard believes that patients want to follow the diets with less complexity, more benefits, less complications and more plain. ¹⁶¹ On the other hand, individuals want to use those food prepared easily in a short time, which is not congruent with their recommended diet. ¹³⁷ , ¹⁶⁴ Even some researchers report labeling parties as the lack of self-caring behaviors. ¹²³ Studied articles related to immediate competing demands and preferences are summarized in Table 7.{Table 7}

In the revised studies of Health Promotion Model, 61% support the importance of perceived benefits to impact on healthy behavior. In Health Promotion Model, perceived benefits act as behavior direct motivational factor and behavior indirect motivational factor (that is made through commitment to behavior in which its benefits are predictable). Furthermore, among researches tested Health Promotion Model 79% has explained support as important barriers for Health Promotion Model determinants. Perceived barriers affect on health promotion behavior in a direct way through barriers to act and indirect way through commitment decreases faithfulness to plan.

As Bandora believes self-efficacy is an individual′s judgment of some one′s abilities to organize and fulfill a series of activities. Self-efficacy is not related to an individual′s skills, but is associated to judgment about what everyone can do with these skills. Judging the individual′s self-efficacy is different from anticipated results. Perceived self-efficacy is judgment about the individual′s ability to do a special level of an action but anticipated results are the judgment about probable results (such as benefits and costs), which this action creates.

89% of researches in Health Promotion Model support the importance of self-efficacy as a determinant factor of health promotion behavior.

It seems, in this model, perceived self-efficacy is affected by activity related effects. The more positive is the affect, the higher will be the perception of self-efficacy. Therefore, it is mutual. It means that with the more perception of self-efficacy, the positive affect will increase. Self-efficacy impacts on functioning perceived barriers. Higher self-efficacy leads to lower perception of the target behavior fulfilling barriers. Self-efficacy stimulates health promotion behavior directly through efficient expectation and influences on perceived barriers and determining commitment level or insisting on planning behavior indirectly.

Furthermore, sensitive states are created before, in and after the action, based on the stimulation of characteristics with behavioral events. These emotional responses may be weak, moderate or severe, categorized or saved in mind from cognitive view and followed with later thought about behavior. It must be pointed that activity related affect is recognized in recent researches as health behavior determinants. Activity related affect creates a direct emotional reaction or internal level response about thinking of behavior whether the behavior is positive or negative and whether it is ridiculous, enjoyable or unpleasant?

Those behaviors following positive feeling are rarely repeated whereas those with negative results are inhibited. For some behaviors, both positive and negative feelings might be considered. Thus, a relative balance between positive and negative feelings before, during and after the behavior is very important to be studied. In fact, activity related affect is effective directly and indirectly through self-efficacy and commitment to planning.

Based on the model, interpersonal impressed factor (social support) is cognitions associated with others′ behaviors, beliefs, and attitude. They may correspond with reality. The important interpersonal resources in health promotion behavior are the family (spouse), peers, and health care workers. The interpersonal impressed factors are norms and standards (expecting important individuals), social support (financial or emotional encouragement), and modeling (learning replacement through others′ observation, which leads to special behavior).

In Health Promotion Model, interpersonal effective factors impact directly on health promotion behaviors and indirectly through social pressure or encouraging to commitment to plan of action. Anyway, desirable motivation to behavior in a consistent rout with interpersonal effective factors leads to increase the probability of those behaviors with high encouragement or reinforced socially. The importance of this construct as a determinant in Health Promotion Model is recognized. On the other hand, the individual′ understanding and recognizing any situation or domain can facilitate or prohibits the behavior.

Situational influence in health promotion behavior contains understanding available selections, request features and aesthetic aspect of an environment where the behavior is acted. Individuals are more attracted to the situations and environments where they feel adjustable, related, healthy, and secure and never have desirable functioning in the situations and environments where they feel unadjustable, unrelated, unhealthy, insecure, and threatening. It seems that in Health Promotion Model, situational influences have direct and indirect impact on healthy behaviors. Behaviors may be impressed directly by situations where appear in an environment full of targeted signals. 56% of studied researches report situational influences as an anticipator of health promotion. Situational influences may be an important key to extend more impressed and new strategies to facilitate acquisition and preservation of health promotion behaviors in different populations.

Commitment plan of action is an initiator of a behavioral event. It propels the individual to do behavior and goes them a head during it unless a demand or competitor is created in which s/he cannot prevent or resist. Human beings are generally act more organized and regular behaviors than disorganized ones. To Ajzen and Fishbin, purpose and commitment are the major determinants in voluntary behaviors. ⁷⁹

However, competitor′s demands and preferences can remove the action fulfillment which the individual is committed. The competitor′s demand is different from barriers because it must be inclusively acted another behavior in barriers based on unpredicted external demands. The competitor′s preferences are different from the shortage of time because the 1 ^stone prefers an action fulfillment on positive healthy action based on rating personal preferences. People are different in their abilities to keep the attention and prevent healthy behaviors stop. Some individuals have the ability developmentally or biologically to be fluctuated in functioning to others or to leave some activities. To prevent and inhibit competitor′s preferences need self-regulation and control ability. High commitment to fulfill an action may preserve the individual of competitor′s preferences and requests. In Health Promotion Model competitor′s preferences and request directly effect on healthy behavior probability and decrease the commitment effect to act. Only one research has studied the competitor′s requests as healthy behavior predictable. Although there are several diet therapy menos ¹⁶⁵ , ¹⁶⁶ and beneficial dietary patterns to control the complications of diabetes, discussed barriers may inhibit from following those diets. ¹⁶⁷ , ¹⁶⁸

Considering the extensive studies, it is clarified this model is not used in nutritional instruction of diabetic patients. Therefore, this is considerable for instructional interventions because of past success such as physical activity and following reasons:

Nutritional behavior is a complicated one in which various factors are involved. Since, this model is an ecological approach to change the behavior and consider personal, interpersonal and social factors, it seems to be helpful in recognizing effective factors in the creation and preservation of the behavior
