Mn 502 Unit 5 Discussion Responds Nursing Theory And Non-Nursing Theory

Dear Elizabeth,Thank you for your discussion on the Health Belief Model. The case study you used clearly explains the constructs of the model and how they apply to the metaparadigm of person, nurse, health and environment. I believe this model is an important tool for explaining how patients and those close to them behave during the healthcare process. The case study that you chose in your discussion clearly explained how the constructs of the Health Belief Model tie in to the actions of those involved. Your use of Bourdieu’s concept of habitus was also relevant to the case study because it explains the acquired thoughts, behaviors and tendencies that lead to logical actions. It provides patients and those close to them the ability to react to events in a certain way (Akgun, 2018, p.143). This was clearly presented in your case study when you explained why mothers don’t breastfeed their infants. Thank you for a well constructed discussion.ReferencesAkgun, B.M. (2018).

I agree with your explanation of both models. The
