Self-Discrepancy Theory02:45

Self-Discrepancy Theory

One influential perspective on what motivates people's behavior is detailed in Tory Higgin's self-discrepancy theory (Higgins, 1987). He proposed that people hold disagreeing internal representations of themselves that lead to different emotional states.
Self-Awareness and Its Effects01:21

This inward focus transforms the self into an object of contemplation and assessment, influencing how individuals perceive their actions and their alignment with personal and societal standards.Triggers and Contexts for Self-AwarenessSelf-awareness can be activated by external stimuli that make individuals visually or audibly aware of themselves, such as mirrors, cameras, or recordings.

Area of Science:

  • Pulmonary Medicine
  • Behavioral Science
  • Health Psychology

Background:

  • Effective self-management strategies are crucial for patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD).
  • A significant knowledge gap exists regarding methods to promote sustained behavior change in COPD self-management programs.
  • Integrating patient values is key to fostering genuine motivation for behavior change.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To explore the potential of motivational interviewing (MI) and mindfulness-based interventions in promoting self-management among patients with severe COPD.
  • To investigate patient experiences and perceived benefits of these novel approaches.

Main Methods:

  • Two pilot qualitative studies were conducted.
  • Study 1: A 3-month motivational interviewing (MI) program with weekly coaching calls and one face-to-face visit.
  • Study 2: An 8-week mindfulness-based intervention with weekly classes and monthly follow-up encounters for 1 year.

Main Results:

  • MI participants valued supportive communication, increased awareness and accountability, and reported feeling better and increased physical activity.
  • Mindfulness participants, after 1 year, appreciated life, valued self-compassion, cultivated connectedness, experienced joy, and adopted healthy behaviors.
  • Both interventions showed potential for engaging patients' inner experiences to promote self-management.

Conclusions:

  • Motivational interviewing and mindfulness interventions appear promising for enhancing self-management in severe COPD.
  • These approaches may foster sustained behavior change by promoting patient presence, awareness, and alignment with personal values.
  • Further research is warranted to confirm these findings and optimize intervention delivery.
