Social cognitive theory of self-efficacy applies to pharmaceutical healthcare system Chihiro Iizawa International University of Health and Welfare Graduate School December 30th 2017
I. INTRODUCTION Social cognitive theory is known as variable patients’ behavior both the psychosocial dynamics influencing health behavior and methods for promoting behavioral change. According to Bandura, health educators and behavioral scientists utilize SCT to develop interventions, procedures, and techniques that influence these underlying cognitive variables, and improve effect behavioral changes(Bandura, 1997). However, recent attempts at social cognitive theory have concentrated on the self-efficacy, physical, social, self-evaluate outcome expectations to reexamine existing theories and innovating theories in pharmaceutical healthcare. This research would be disclosing the social cognitive theory of self-efficacy related issues in pharmaceutical healthcare system. History of SCT Drug prices are regulated in each country. For instance, the U.S. enforces President Clinton’s Health Security Act(Bandura, 1997).Market is driven control by managed drug benefit programs become rigid in private insurance plans.Each country faces strategies with gathering global drug budgets, controlling drug volume, and total spending. Social cognitive theory operation The initial approximations of response patterns learned observationally refined self-corrective behavior with feedback from performance. Learning from outcome is changing behaviors relate to cognitive representation. Motivation is primarily concerned with activation and persistence of behaviors. Capacity to represent future aftermath in cognitively based source of motivation. Other cognitively based sources operate through the intervention influence of goal setting and self-evaluative reactions(Bandura, 1997). Social cognitive theory and implications for intervention graph determines concept, definition, and implications in the theory(Baranowski). For instance, when patient take medication, they would prefer to take succeed treatment. They might be encourage their motivation with listening to story from recovered fully people. Major SCT purpose utilized in health care Demonstrate the health care construct and identifies itself as a method to analyze the new behavioral research and practice in health education(Baranowski).Indeed, SCT plays significant roles in creating treatment medication therapies in a socio-cognitive perspective(Bandura, 2002).The SCT purpose would stimulate patients’ motivation due to implement modeling style. Social cognitive theory threats When SCT would apply to broad structures, the function is incapable. Research has to pick adequate and specific phenomena, which apply. Additionally, examine the situation in which the theory does not apply(Baranowski).In a pharmaceutical practical field, severe cancer case tries to take a placebo like imitate other patient. The treatment stage is too broad, obliviously a doctor knows the patient need to take a chemopreventive agent urgently instead of administering a placebo to someone just to satisfy him like
