Psychological theory also underpins many behaviour change techniques for which there is evidence of effectiveness in changing the behaviour in other settings.
61 Promoting self-management Behaviour change techniques, for example, stimulus control, problem solving, cognitive restructuring, goal setting.
The techniques used have been classified according to Michie's refined taxonomy of behaviour change techniques for physical activity interventions (CALO-RE taxonomy) [ 54] (see Table 1).
Box 3 Components of effective chronic condition management Promoting self-management Behaviour change techniques, for example, stimulus control, problem solving, cognitive restructuring, goal setting.
Secondly, studies have identified optimal behavioral change techniques for each domain, in order to support educators in the selection of the most appropriate technique for KT, performance change and/or educational interventions.
We assessed the behavioural change theories relevant to a new intervention and identified individual behavioural change techniques for different learning outcomes and the different components of a course (table 4).
An evidence-base exists of behaviour change techniques for weight loss; however, in routine practice doctors are often unsure about effective treatments and commonly use theoretically-unfounded communication strategies (e.g. information-giving).
The TDF categorization of the needs assessment findings allowed recommendation of appropriate behavior change techniques for each underlying determinant, and facilitated communication and understanding of the identified issues to a broader audience.
The chief psychologist of the treatment program scored the intervention with this CALO-RE taxonomy, which gives an overview of relevant behavior change techniques for interventions aimed at increasing physical activity and healthy eating [ 63].
In choosing the most appropriate behaviour change techniques for the target constructs, we first mapped the three target constructs onto the theoretical construct domains identified by Michie et al (2005) [ 31] (Table 4).
