Table 2 Determinants of performance objectives for behavior intervention objectives
Determinant | Relevance | Changeability | Evidence for importance |
|---|---|---|---|
Determinants of performance objectives for behavior intervention outcome 1 | |||
Knowledge | +++ | +++ | Knowledge, skills and self-efficacy important in developing information evaluation behavior (Vidgen HA [27]; Perry EA [28]). Gaps from needs assessment [16, 17] |
Skills | +++ | ++ | |
Self-efficacy | +++ | ++ | |
Determinants of performance objectives for behavior intervention outcome 2 | |||
Knowledge | +++ | +++ | Knowledge gaps (needs assessment) [16, 17]. Precondition for personal attitude and intention development (theory of planned behavior) [31] |
Skills | +++ | ++ | Skills gaps (needs assessment) [16, 17]. Skills precondition for self-efficacy and attitude [31] |
Self-efficacy | +++ | ++ | Low self-efficacy (needs assessment) [16, 17]. Self-efficacy is determinant for the precursors of behavior – intention, preparation to act, but it can also directly influence implementation & maintenance of behavior (addresses both perceptions & reality). Important in PA [26] |
Subjective norms | +++ | + + | |
Social support | +++ | ++ | |
Barriers (busy work schedules and finances) | +++ | + | Social misconceptions (needs assessment) [16, 17] – we do not work on this determinant directly in our intervention. We rather equip participants with practical plans to have PA within existing schedules and finances |
Physical environment | +++ | + | Social misconceptions (needs assessment) [16, 17] – we do not work on this determinant in our intervention. We lack resources to improve it. |
Determinants of performance objectives for behavior intervention outcome 3 | |||
Knowledge | +++ | +++ | Knowledge gaps (needs assessment) [16, 17]. knowledge important in dietary decision making [27, 28, 32] |
Skills | +++ | ++ | Skills gaps (needs assessment). Skills precondition for self-efficacy. Important in dietary decision making [27, 28, 32] |
Self-efficacy | +++ | ++ | Low self-efficacy (needs assessment) [[[[[[ [25, 28]]]]]]]. Self-efficacy is determinant for the precursors of behavior – intention, preparation to act, but it can also directly influence implementation & maintenance of behavior (addresses both perceptions & reality) [[[[[[ [31]]]]]]]. Important for dietary behavior [27, 28, 32] |
Subjective norm | +++ | ++ | |
Social support | +++ | ++ | |
Barriers (time constraints, finances & food safety concerns) | +++ | + | Social misconceptions (needs assessment) [16, 17] – we do not work on this determinant directly in our intervention. We rather equip participants with practical tips to increase fruit and vegetable intake within existing schedules and finances |
Physical environment | +++ | + | Social misconceptions (needs assessment) [16, 17] – we do not work on this determinant in our intervention. We lack resources to improve it. We rather equip participants with practical tips to increase fruit and vegetable intake within prevailing environment. |
