Use this document to complete the assignment

Purpose: To explore theory-based research in health education/promotion literature to identify behavioral antecedents.

Instructions:

Use this document to complete the assignment. All information for this assignment should be included in this document; that is, do not create your own document. Respond to item 6 by typing directly into this document below item 6. Type directly into the literature review matrix that is provided on the last page to complete the literature review.

Define a health behavior. Select and clearly define a health behavior to investigate.

A health behavior is any action taken by an individual to prevent diseases and ensure a healthy body, women breastfeeding duration will be the human behavior that will review.

Search for evidence. Use the Texas State University search engines to locate health education/promotion research in which this behavior has been investigated using theory to identify antecedents to the behavior. Use only articles published in the past 10 years. To complete your search, use the following databases: CINAHL Complete, ERIC, Health Source: Nursing/Academic Edition, MEDLINE Complete, PsycARTICES, Psychology and Behavioral Sciences Collection, PsycINFO, and SRORTDiscus.

Create a search flow chart. Review the article list and discard redundant articles. Now, read the title and abstract of the articles from your search and discard any that don’t help you identify antecedents to the health behavior. Create a flow chart (as show below) and present the number of articles identified, excluded, and included. You should have one flow chart for each theory we’ve discussed in class through Diffusion of Innovation Theory. You may use the example below and replace the text in the example with your own. Create a flow chart for each search you perform.

Appraise the evidence. Use the literature matrix (provided below) to identify significant parts of the article, including: author(s), title, theory measured variables/constructs, and findings/conclusions. Each article meeting your search criteria should be included in the literature matrix. Your final product should contain at least 10 articles (you will likely have more). Use APA citation style.

Offer an analysis of evidence. Based on your findings, select 3 or 4 constructs and offer and explanation of the relationships between the antecedents and the health behavior (this may include more than one theory). Be sure to discuss the relationships between antecedents and health behavior based on the theoretical frameworks of the theories and constructs used in the studies (Hint: refer to construct definitions). Finally, offer a synopsis of how understanding these antecedents to the behavior can help public health professionals.

Based on the previous research undertaken on the duration of breastfeeding by women, it is evident that the social cognitive, planned behavior and reasonable action theories seem to hold that self-efficacy, maternal intention and psychosocial characteristics play a big role in the child’s weaning. Women with stable minds not prone to depression and young mothers tend to breastfeed more than the rest because of the belief that the bond of both the mother and the child becomes stronger. To ensure all mothers breastfeed the children for longer duration because it is important for the child’s health the personnel can use this variables to ascertain which mothers are prone to failing to breastfeed and the help they need
