There is evidence that women face a range of perceived barriers that prevent them from engaging in healthy lifestyle activities. Despite this evidence, current Australian and international evidence based frameworks for diabetes education do not explicitly incorporate the concept of perceived barriers to action. Building on existing frameworks for diabetes education and elements of Pender\u2019s Health Promotion Model (1982, 2006, 2010), a model of risk factor reduction which incorporates \u2018perceived barriers\u2019 is described.<br \/>\nConclusion: Although further research is required, it is argued that current approaches to risk factor reduction in type 2 diabetes could be enhanced by assessment and goal setting to reduce an individual\u2019s perceived barriers to lifestyle behaviour change. A \u2018Lifestyle risk factor modification and perceived barriers model\u2019 could potentially provide an innovative approach to support this.<\/p>\n<h2>Authors<\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li>Amanda M McGuire<\/li>\n<li>Debra Anderson<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>Keywords<\/h2>\n<p>Barriers, diabetes, risk factors, health, promotion, women<\/p>\n<h2>References<\/h2>\n<p>References not available for this article.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This article was originally published as: Lifestyle risk factor modification in midlife women with type 2 diabetes: theoretical modelling of&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":21,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[124],"tags":[3505,4187,3203,4545],"class_list":["post-7524","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-articles","tag-barriers","tag-diabetes","tag-promotion","tag-risk-factors","wpcat-124-id"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v25.8 -
