+1 862 207 3288 As mentioned, the TTM focuses on the Stages of Change to allow for behavior modification. Prochaska, Redding & Evers (2009) explain
the TTM construct phase of termination as “no temptation to relapse and 100% confidence.” If Jill Watsons’ employees are successful
in their lifestyle modifications while in the maintenance phase of the Stages of Change but experience relapse between 6 and 12
months, what interventions can Jill Watson then apply to further help her employees? I know that in your research, you indicated
that the healthcare provider can aid in the renewal process of the previous stage if a patient experiences relapse, but how could
this be applied to the clinical scenario with Watson?
Here is another scenario to consider:
One of Jill Watson’s employees sees a flyer for a free fitness class and is excited to join. Once she gets to the class, she is
looking forward to getting into shape and exercising. She seems to be in the action phase of the TTM, which is significant because
she is already acting upon her negative lifestyle behavior and is willing to make a change. Regardless of this employee already
seeming to be in the action phase, should she still be assessed on the other 3 stages first to assure that she will successfully
achieve behavioral modification?
