“…For example, several researchers have suggested that a better understanding of people's helpseeking behavior could be gathered by using Ajzen and Fishbein's (1980) theory of reasoned action (TRA; Bayer & Peay, 1997;Codd & Cohen, 2003;Halgin, Weaver, Edell, & Spencer, 1987). Specifically, TRA asserts that people's actions are decided through a series of rational judgments.…”

Two studies examined the predictors of seeking psychological services. Study 1 examined the role of attitudes in mediating the relationship between 11 psychological factors and intent to seek help for 3 psychological problems. The results demonstrated that (a) the psychological factors and attitudes predicted 62% of the variance in intent to seek help for interpersonal problems and 18% of the variance for drug problems and (b) attitudes toward counseling mediated most of the relationships between the different psychological factors and help-seeking intent. Study 2, in turn, demonstrated that (a) anticipated outcomes of talking with a counselor were associated with the use of psychological services and (b) anticipated risks of disclosing emotions were salient for those having experienced a distressing event.

“…[25][26][27] According to the theory of reasoned action, intention is the critical determinant of behavior. Intention is determined by beliefs and attitudes about treatment behaviors (eg, medication effi cacy and adverse effects), subjective social norms (eg, concern with regard to family opinions), past behavior (eg, past treatment), perceived behavioral control (eg, theory of planned behavior), and self-effi cacy.…”

PURPOSE Negative attitudes and beliefs about depression treatment may prevent many young adults from accepting a diagnosis and treatment for depression. We undertook a study to determine the association between depressive symptom severity, beliefs about and attitudes toward treatment, subjective social norms, and past behavior on the intent not to accept a physician's diagnosis of depression. METHODSWe conducted a cross-sectional study of 10,962 persons aged 16 to 29 years who participated and had positive screening results on the Center for Epidemiologic Studies Depression (CES-D) score in an Internet-based public health depression screening program. Participants reported whether they would accept their physician's diagnosis of depression. Based on the theory of reasoned action, we developed a multivariate model of the factors that predict intent not to accept a diagnosis of depression.RESULTS Twenty-six percent of the participants stated their intent not to accept their physician's diagnosis of depression. Disagreeing that medications are effective in treating depression (strongly disagree, odds ratio ( OR ) = 6.5, 95% confi dence interval (CI), 4.6-9.3), that there is a biological cause for depression (strongly disagree, OR = 1.9, 95% CI, 1.3-2.7), and agreeing that you would be embarrassed if your friends knew you had depression were associated with the intent not to accept a diagnosis of depression (strongly agree, OR = 2.3, 95% CI, 1.8-2.9). Beliefs and attitudes, subjective social norms, and past behavior explained most of the variance in this model (84%).CONCLUSIONS Negative beliefs and attitudes, subjective social norms, and lack of past helpful treatment experiences are associated with the intent to not accept the diagnosis of depression and may contribute to low rates of treatment among young adults. INTRODUCTIONT wenty-fi ve percent of young adults will experience a depressive episode by age 24 years, the highest incidence rate of any adult agegroup.1-3 Although depression during this critical period may increase the likelihood of substance abuse, impair work and relationship function, and negatively infl uence an individual' s subsequent development, 1,4-11 fewer than 20% of young adults with depression receive high-quality care. 12Lack of health insurance coverage and affi liation with a primary care physician do not fully explain these low treatment rates. 13,14 Obtaining treatment for depression is a multistage process that includes self-evaluation of need for care, seeking services, and fi nally accepting a diagnosis and treatment for the disorder, which is substantially infl uenced by patient attitudes. 15,16 Patient reluctance to accept diagnosis and treatment for depression has been identifi ed by primary care physicians as a major barrier to implementing 17 and may be associated with poor quality of care and outcomes. [18][19][20][21][22][23][24] Why patients refuse the diagnosis and treatment for depression remains poorly understood, however.The theory of reasoned action, which ha...

U cilju utvrđivanja u kojoj meri percepcija različitih aspekata kvaliteta bračnog odnosa i bračna nestabilnost, odnosno, potencijal za razvod braka, doprinose nameri žena da traže profesionalnu psihološku pomoć, ispitano je 777 žena koje žive u formalnom ili neformalnom braku. Kvalitet bračnog odnosa je meren Skalom prilagođenosti u bračnom odnosu (Dyadic Adjustment Scale – DAS: Spanier, 1976, 1989), a bračna nestabilnost je merena pokazateljima potencijala za razvod braka (Booth, Johnson & Edwards, 1983). Namera da se traži profesionalna psihološka pomoć je ispitana instrumentom (Šakotić-Kurbalija, 2011) koji obuhvata iskustva iz prošlosti, sadašnjosti i nameru da se profesionalna psihološka pomoć traži u budućnosti, kao i razloge zbog kojih ispitanik ima ili nema nameru da traži profesionalnu psihološku pomoć. Primenom višestruke regresione analize, utvrđeno je da skup analiziranih prediktorskih varijabli statistički jeste značajno povezan sa namerom da se traži profesionalna psihološka pomoć, ali je ta povezanost vrlo niska R=0,23 (F(5,771)=8,28; p<0,000), dok je korigovani R2=0,045; te se značajnijim čini nalaz da na spremnost žena da potraže profesionalnu psihološku pomoć u znatno većoj meri deluju neki drugi faktori. Na osnovu prikupljenih kvalitativnih podataka (pitanjem o razlozima zbog kojih ispitanica ima ili nema nameru da traži profesionalnu psihološku pomoć), pretpostavlja se da značajnu ulogu u nameri žena da traže profesionalnu psihološku pomoć imaju njihovi stavovi prema traženju profesionalne psihološke pomoći, odnosno njihove predrasude po ovom pitanju. Pošto su rana i adekvatna profesionalna psihološka pomoć osnovni protektivni faktori mentalnog zdravlja, kao implikacija za rad na prevenciji razvoja težih oblika bračne disfunkcionalnosti sledi da je od velikog značaja promovisanje rada institiucija i stručnjaka iz oblasti mentalnog zdravlja.
