System Management Model
Depicts symptom management as dynamic relationships between 3 key concepts:
-Symptom Experience
-Symptom Management Strategies
-Symptom Outcomes
All nested within in 3 domains of nursing science (Person, Environment, and health/illness) that
,influence and surround all 3 dimensions of symptoms, thus signifying the contextual

-Contemplation
-Preparation Determination
-Action
-Maintenance
-Termination
Theoretical Model of Change - Precontemplation
People do not intend to take action on the foreseeable future (next 6 months). Often unaware
their behavior is problematic or produces negative consequences. People underestimate the pros
of changing behavior and place too much emphasis on the cons of changing that behavior.
, Theoretical Model of Change - Contemplation
People intend to start the health behavior in the foreseeable future (within 6 months). Recognize
behavior is problematic, and a more thoughtful and practical consideration of the pros/cons of
changing behavior takes place with equal emphasis on both.
Theoretical Model of Change - Preparation Determination
People ready to take action in the next 30 days. Take small steps to behavior change to lead a
healthier life.
Theoretical Model of Change - Action
People recently changed behavior (within 6 months) and keep moving forward with the behavior
change. People exhibit by modifying their problem behaviors or acquiring new healthy
behaviors.
Theoretical Model of Change - Maintenance
People have sustained the behavior change for a while (6 months or more) and intend to maintain
the change forward. Preventing relapse is a goal.
Theoretical Model of Change - Termination
People have no desire to return to previous unhealth behaviors and are sure they will NOT
relapse. Since this is rarely reached and people tend to stay in the maintenance stage, this is not
often considered in health promotion programs.
