Understanding the factors that motivate behavioral change is central to health promotion efforts. We used qualitative descriptive methods in an effort to understand the role of self-knowledge in the process of risk factor modification. The sample consisted of 17 men and 7 women with diagnosed coronary heart disease, who were attempting to initiate and sustain programs of cardiovascular risk modification. Participants described self-knowledge in terms of three contextually situated patterns: representational, evaluative, and behavioral action. Results reinforce the motivational role of the self and highlight the importance of understanding dimensions of self-knowledge relevant to cardiovascular risk reduction.
了解促进行为改变的因素是健康促进工作的核心。我们采用定性描述方法，旨在了解自我认知在风险因素改变过程中的作用。样本包括17名男性和7名被诊断患有冠心病的女性，他们正试图启动并维持心血管风险改变计划。参与者从三种与情境相关的模式来描述自我认知：表征性、评价性和行为行动。结果强化了自我的激励作用，并突出了理解与降低心血管风险相关的自我认知维度的重要性。
