Parameters:
The article you review MUST be from the Journal of Health Psychology.
The intervention can be an individual intervention, family intervention, community intervention, etc. – there are no limits here, any population, any illness or health problem (individual health or public health or otherwise), any population of people.
Provide an overview of the intervention, results, recommendations.
Answer the following questions:
What broader category does the intervention focus on, as discussed in the class text i.e. – factor related to severity of disease, treatment characteristics, personal factors, environmental factors, and interaction of factors. More than one category may be relevant!!!
How does this correspond to the broader categories discussed in the Levensky & O’Donohue (2016) article (p. 6) (for example, factors related to the patient, factors related to the treatment regimen, factors related to features of the disease or target problem, factors related to the patient-provider relationship, and factors related to the clinical setting. Again, more than one broader factor may be relevant!!
What “next level” factors (also p. 6) are the focus of the article / intervention you review, by next level I mean, the lists of factors listed under each broader category in the Levensky & O’Donohue article, specifically. For example, lack of knowledge of treatment requirements, poor fit between treatment requirements and patient’s lifestyle and daily activities, health problem not serious or threatening to health, poor communication between patient and provider, and poor accessibility of services etc. Again, more than one next level factor may be relevant!!
