Domain VI: Professional Growth and Responsibility
Published in Nicole M. Augustine, Prevention Specialist Exam Study Guide, 2023
The Social Learning Theory of Albert Bandura emphasizes the importance of observing and modeling the behaviors, attitudes, and emotional reactions of others. Social Learning Theory explains human behavior in terms of continuous reciprocal interaction between cognitive, behavioral, and environmental influences. There are four stages of observational learning:AttentionRetentionMotor Reproduction, andMotivation
Empowering Patients Toward Motivation and Maintenance to Change
Published in Gia Merlo, Kathy Berra, Lifestyle Nursing, 2023
Social learning theory, or social cognitive theory, developed by Bandura, is the most well-known theory directed at health behavior change (Bandura, 1977). This theory is based on the tenets that behavior change considers personal experience, self and group efficacy in changing behaviors, the importance of a supportive social setting, and the development of skills to maintain new attitudes and practices. This theory emphasizes the concept of self-efficacy as a mediator of change. Self-efficacy is likened to self-confidence and reflects a person’s judgment about how successful he or she will be in performing certain tasks. The more confident an individual is that they can change behavior, the more likely the behavior change will occur. The four elements of social learning theory are skill mastery, verbal persuasion from a health care professional, physiologic feedback, and modeling behaviors, which enhance self-efficacy. Measuring self-efficacy can provide practical information for assessing the effectiveness of programs or interventions aimed at health behavior change.
Learning

Unlike behavioral theories, Bandura believed that external reinforcement was not the only way that people learned new things. Instead, intrinsic reinforcements such as a sense of pride, satisfaction, and accomplishment could also lead to learning. By observing the actions of others, including parents and peers, children develop new skills and acquire new information. The core concepts of social learning theory include the following:

How might explicit modeling have a greater impact on learning? Social Cognitive Theory (SCT) (Bandura 1986) describes the processes through which humans learn from social experiences. Originally described as Social Learning Theory, this process is complex and involves a series of steps including observation of behavior, imitation of that behavior, and modeling (Bandura 1977). Adult learners, however, generally do not simply mimic others’ behavior without some associated cognition and decision making. This cognitive processing before action includes four proposed steps (Bandura 1977; Bandura 1986):Attention: learners must notice the behavior being modeledRetention: once noticed, the behavior must be rememberedReproduction: learners must acquire the ability to perform the behaviorMotivation: learners must have the will or desire to perform the behavior in the future.
Facilitators of and barriers to continuity with GPs in primary palliative cancer care: A mixed-methods systematic review

This review illuminates the still fairly novel discussion of the role of patients and their close persons in achieving continuity of care for themselves. Research has previously been undertaken on continuity from the healthcare professional and service provider perspective; and it seems that current studies now focus more so on service user perspectives. However, little research focuses on the patient’s (and close person’s) responsibility and capacity for action regarding continuity, despite emerging evidence suggesting the potential value of this. Society’s emphasis is increasingly on a more patient-centred healthcare system, but certain issues remain quite doctor-led and inflexible. Can patients facilitate their own continuity of care if they are empowered with relevant knowledge to make appropriate decisions? And if so, is it appropriate to ask this of patients with palliative care needs, or is it too much a burden on them and their close persons? Further research is required regarding where the responsibility lies on the doctor–patient spectrum, and how, for whom and in what circumstances this would be effective and appropriate. Bandura’s ‘social learning theory’ is highly relevant in understanding how service users learn from each interaction in the healthcare context; manage resources and change their behaviour in a desirable way. Its application may facilitate further exploration of this issue.63
Living arrangements and health-related lifestyle among Taiwanese college students
Published in Journal of American College Health, 2022
Studies have indicated the positive influence of living in a dorm on students’ lifestyles and habits. First, a smoke-free campus policy can significantly reduce tobacco use among college students. Such a policy may also change social norms among students that make smoking less socially acceptable.10,11 Second, since college campuses provide fitness facilities on campus, students living in dorms can have more opportunities for exercise2,3 and better access to health-related information and guidance through student health centers to develop healthier lifestyles.12 Finally, social learning theory suggests that individuals learn health-related behaviors through various forms of learning from peers and colleagues.13–15 Living in dorms facilitates the establishment of health norms and environments, while campus regulations support smoke-free policies by providing accessible fitness facilities and health education. Overall, research suggests that norms and facilities on campus reduce the probability of smoking and drinking and improve positive attitudes toward physical activity and that students living in dorms tend to develop healthier lifestyles.
