Prochaska's Six stage model
A01
smokers behaviour changed during the time they were trying to quit - in a cyclical process not single
Client would progress through the stages but also skip some stages or go back to one
Precontemplation - do not think about change (denial)
Contemplation - you are aware of the change you want in the future but also aware of the costs
Intervention - seeing the pros of overcoming the addiction
Preparation - benefits outweigh the costs and the change will be coming just unsure of when
Intervention - see a support counsellor who helps construct a plan
Action - When you have started to do something in the last months such as CBT
Intervention - develop coping strategies
Maintenance - change has been sustained for 6 months or more
Intervention - develop relapse prevention strategies
A03
:check: - Realistic view of addiction - allows flexibility and enables clients to skip or go back to certain stages
:red_cross: - Taylor - suggests this type of approach is not as effective - West "problems with the models are serious and should be discarded"
:check: Velicer - meta-analysis - 22-26% success rate with smoking
:check: - NO demographic issues such as; age, gender or IQ.
MOREOVER :check: - URICA - practical application - allowing interventions to be administered
Face Validity - recognition of its complexity :check:
:red_cross: - differences between stages are based on random choices eg "you plan to stop smoking for 30 days but preparation is at 31 days"
:red_cross: - Other researchers suggested that only 2 stages were necessary - Precontemplation and all the other stages combined together
