The long-term objectives of this training program are to contribute to advances furthering knowledge about health behavior that (a) promote maximal well-being; (b) facilitate early detection of disorder and thus minimize its effect, and (c) facilitate well-being in illness situations. The overarching assumption is that health behavior research has two aspects; (a) the facilitation of behaviors aimed at health promotion, health maintenance, health restoration, or health improvement in specific patient situations; and (b) the shaping of environments so the healthy choices become the easy choices in an entire community.
The specific aim i s to prepare nurses who will be able to launch programs of research to study a range of health-related experiences and practices--e.g., applications of the Health Belief Model; adjustment in families struggling with chronic illness. Within the School's overall framework of health behavior changes are four focus areas for research; (a) environments for health; (b) health promotion; acute and chronic health problems; and (d) family health adaptation. Health behavior research will be advanced by (a) analyzing concepts and theories from the behavioral and biological sciences that have relevance to health behavior; (b synthesizing concepts, theories and research findings from the behavioral and biological sciences to develop models for use in framing health behavior problems; (c) designing and implementing research for the purpose of advancing knowledge about health behavior; and (d) communicating results in a timely fashion. Throughout the project period, there will be five trainees, three pre- doctoral and two post-doctorate. Trainees have access to the special resources of two programs embedded within the School of Nursing--the WHO Collaborating Center for Healthy Cities and the Mary Margaret Walther Program for Cancer Care Research.
