| Summary: | Introduction: Guiding individuals to healthier behaviors is key to improving wellness, and primary care providers are uniquely positioned to help individuals recognize and implement needed health behavior changes. This paper describes a whole-person wellness model, the CREATION model, which focuses on the relationship between individual choice and physical, psychological, social, and spiritual health. Methods: Several theoretical models, including two wellness models, the Wheel of Wellness and Indivi- sible Self, and three behavior change models, Social-Ecological Model, Reasoned Action Approach, and Transtheoretical Model provide the foundation for the CREATION model. The constructs and proposi- tions of the CREATION model are grounded in these frameworks.
Results: The CREATION model considers the contexts in which health choices occur, including modi- fiable determinants of health. Elements of choice, rest, environment, activity, trust, interpersonal relation- ships, outlook, and nutrition are the constructs that comprise this model.
Conclusion: The CREATION model posits that interventions that focus on an individual’s mind, spirit, environment, and relationships will influence choices in a continuous cycle that reinforces positive, healthy behaviors. The CREATION model can facilitate robust patient-provider partnerships that may help shift the healthcare delivery paradigm from an illness model to a wellness model. |
