We asserted that our targeted implementation strategy would influence clinicians in relation to the TPB constructs of attitude, subjective norms and perceived behavioural control.
We found support for the TPB constructs of attitude, subjective norm, and PBC as well as the additional construct of perceived risk in predicting parents' intentions, with further support found for intentions, but not PBC, in predicting parents' behaviour.
Parents (N = 391) completed an initial questionnaire assessing the theory of planned behaviour constructs of attitude, subjective norm, and perceived behavioural control, as well as perceived risk, group norm, and additional demographic factors.
Our results showed variability in clinician behaviour intentions and TPB constructs of attitude, subjective norms and perceived behavioural control for three bowel management practices in intensive care following implementation of our BMP.
We found support for the TPB constructs of attitude, subjective norm, and PBC as well as the additional construct of perceived risk in predicting parents' intentions to use online information to manage their child's health care, with further support found for intentions, but not PBC, in predicting parents' behaviour.
Responses to both measures overlapped considerably, suggesting that each measured the same underlying construct of attitudes toward the use of complementary and alternative therapies in the setting of holistic health care and alternative health belief systems.
This paper will focus on the construct of attitude.
According to the pattern derived from the current study, newborn's health, mother's physical health and mental health were compatible with sub construct of attitude and all other factors were compatible with other sub constructs of the predisposing factors in the Precede-Proceed model.
To explore the constructs of the attitudes and experiences and the relationships between them, a structural equation model was constructed.
First, both factors appear to be reliable measures of specific constructs of dysfunctional attitudes.
