Assessment of Health Promotion Barriers and Positive Behaviors

This report analyzes the health promotion barriers and positive behaviors of a client, George Bailey (G.B.), aged 45, aiming to facilitate a desired behavior change. The report identifies the client's strengths, including social support, self-efficacy, and an ecological approach, which contribute to successful health outcomes. It also outlines significant barriers such as strict regulations, uncertainties, high costs of care, and knowledge gaps. The report then details methods to overcome these barriers, including educational materials, information meetings, academic detailing, outreach visits, opinion management, reminder systems, and patient-mediated strategies like mass media campaigns. The goal is to improve healthcare programs, enhance patient engagement, and ensure effective health promotion through evidence-based practices and innovative initiatives, focusing on the safety and quality of care.

Identification of the client
The client is George bailey. The initial is G.B. and age is 45.
Client desired behavior change
The development occurs within the biological cognitive and social domains. The life span
characteristics are biological, socioemotional, and cognitive. The physical and psychosocial
attributes are emotional wellbeing, quality of the life, health and lifestyle barriers.
Clients data
Strengths of the clients
The social support system is useful as it influence the behavior for the social good. This
is beneficial for society as it allows segmenting the relevant market for targeted interventions. It
is also an approach to promote the immediate healthy lifestyle benefits (Snyder, et al., 2016).
 Self-efficacy
This strength of the client uses the combination of the techniques to significantly improve the
intrinsic motivation by exploring and solving a large number of challenges. This helps to solve
the behavioral problems with the objective to identify and modify the dysfunctional thoughts,
assumptions, and behavior patterns.
 Ecological approach
This approach is meaningful to provide the direct advice to the patient which depends on
assumptions and it also improves the knowledge attitude by creating desired to the change. It
also supports to observe and reinforce the positive behavior.
Barriers to achieve the health outcome
Barriers are obstacles that prevent the given policy from achieving its results and they
also create problems in its implementations. The first barrier is strict regulations which limit the
risk allowed level. These regulations define in each situation the risk whish are allowed to
achieve desired health outcomes. There are many factors that influence the health. High poverty

creates challenges for the participants to pay for the programs and services to achieve better
health outcomes. Barriers can lead to the specific policy problems that make its strategies less
effective (Snoek, 2012). Following are the barriers.
 Uncertainties and knowledge gaps
The lack of available evidence within the particular areas or context is key barriers within the
health care policies. This is problematic because it moves the patient away from the best
pharmaceutical treatment. The poor access to basic care services also represent the ways of
programs working. Adaptive the change is difficult as required to shift the processes, roles,
responsibilities.
 High cost of care
Due to high treatment cost, a change within the reimbursement model makes it difficult to
achieve health outcome. There is also less incentives to implement and prevent the care
strategies because they promote less attention to engage and encourage taking care of patients.
Engaging the patients and caregivers is important to influence the health through the behaviors as
followed by the immediate caregivers, which cannot be achieved due to the high cost.
Methods to overcome from the barriers
This is important to avoid the barriers in the healthcare programs because it allows the
support health care professional to communicate more effectively. The baseline assessment helps
to identify the gap within the practices and ways of working by tailoring the innovation. The
methods of the data collection with the strategies help to overcome from the barriers and
implement the change practices. The outline of the change makes it easier to avoide resistance
while achieving effectiveness at the same time (Shobe, Coffman, & Dmochowski, 2019).
Educational materials are useful to raise the awareness through the new working ways
and they are effective to change the behavior by combining the strategies. Information meetings
are useful to increase the awareness regarding the change. Informational meetings with the
effective participation are useful in the behavior change. The academic detailing includes the
trained individual visiting within the business to offer the information and it help to achieve the
new working ways. Outreach visits are also useful within the particular behavior like prescribing

behavior. The opinion management is effective to influence the colleagues to adopt the approach
of the innovation. The opinion is useful to disseminating the information.
The system of reminder and decision are useful within the desired behavior at the point of
decision making. This kind of system is also effective for the delivery of the preventative
services while also making crucial decisions. Patient mediated strategies are also useful to
provide the information to public and effectively change the practitioner’s behavior. This also
includes the mass media campaign which is useful to increase the awareness regarding the
innovation between the practitioners and public. It is very important to rely on the trends with the
evidence based practices to safeguard the safety and care quality. Practices within the programs
bring the opportunities to increase the safety within the digital era to ensure the substantial
progress. New initiatives help to make the changes as the fundamental realignment within the
organization capabilities and thinking. This required the appropriate guidance and expertise to
develop and maintained the result by establishing for the long run. The effective health programs
are important to reach the customers (Diamond, & Jacobs, 2016).
