We conducted a study to determine whether an intervention using self-care information would change college students' attitudes and beliefs concerning personal responsibility and involvement in their own health care. Individuals entering a student health service were randomly assigned to a treatment or control group. Members of the treatment group (n = 187) received the intervention and completed the survey instrument. Members of the control group (n = 204) completed the survey instrument only. The intervention consisted of one page of general information about the benefits to individuals of taking responsibility for their own health and a booklet containing excerpts from a consumer-oriented health care book. The survey instrument was composed of a measure of attitudes toward information and behavioral involvement in health care and a measure of beliefs regarding control over one's health. Results indicated that the intervention was able to change the treatment group's attitudes regarding active participation in health care. The treatment group's responses also reflected less belief that health was outside of the individual's control. The study showed that a positive change in health-related attitudes and beliefs can result from a relatively uncomplicated informational intervention.
我们开展了一项研究，以确定使用自我保健信息的干预措施是否会改变大学生对个人责任以及参与自身医疗保健的态度和信念。进入学生健康服务中心的个体被随机分配到治疗组或对照组。治疗组的成员（n = 187）接受了干预措施并完成了调查问卷。对照组的成员（n = 204）仅完成了调查问卷。干预措施包括一页关于个人对自身健康负责的益处的一般信息，以及一本包含面向消费者的医疗保健书籍摘录的小册子。调查问卷由对医疗保健信息和行为参与的态度测量以及对自身健康控制的信念测量组成。结果表明，该干预措施能够改变治疗组对积极参与医疗保健的态度。治疗组的回答还反映出，他们不太相信健康不受个人控制。该研究表明，相对简单的信息干预可以导致与健康相关的态度和信念产生积极变化。
