Theoretical Framework

This section dealt with theories that support the literature under the study and other frameworks for

easier verification and suggestions. The theories to be looked at are: the health model theory and

stakeholder theory, which are deemed to be relevant to the study.

The Health Model Theory

This is a psychological model that attempts to explain and predict health

behaviours by focusing on the attitudes and beliefs of individuals. It was developed in the 1950s as

part of an effort by social psychologists in the United States Public Health Service to explain the

leaving it untreated (including evaluations of both medical and clinical on sequences and possible

social consequences)-Perceived Benefits are the believed effectiveness of strategies designed to reduce

the threat of illness-Perceived Barriers is the potential negative consequences that may result from

taking particular health actions, including physical, psychological, and financial demands. Cues to

Action is the events, either bodily (e.g., physical symptoms of a health condition) or environmental

(e.g., media publicity) that motivate people to take action. Cues to actions are an aspect of the HBM

that has not been systematically studied. Other Variables - Diverse demographic, socio-psychological,

and structural variables that affect an individual's perceptions and thus indirectly influence health-

related behavior. Self-Efficacy is the belief in being able to successfully execute the

behavior required to produce the desired outcomes. One of the first things one can do is

to action also influence whether a person will be motivated for lifestyle change.

Cues can include illness in other family members, information from the media, and concurrent

symptoms experienced by the individual. Health educators can elicit from the target group or person

the potential cues he/she is exposed to on a daily basis and then use these cues as reminders of the

potential consequences of failing to change unhealthy behavior practices.

This theory is most relevant to this current study on community participation on maternal health

projects, since many of the mothers have a negative notion regarding visiting various health cares

across the county due to perceived aspects. The community’s traditional healers and mid-wives

have got an influence in the people’s minds and their choices of what to do. HBM research has

been used to explore a variety of health behaviors in diverse populations. For instance, researchers

severity identified as the least significant variable. More recently, though, researchers are

suggesting that an individual's perceived ability to successfully carry out a "health" strategy, such as

going for maternal health care, using a condom consistently, greatly influences his/her decision and

ability to enact and sustain a changed behavior.

General limitations of the HBM include: a) most HBM-based research to date has incorporated only

selected components of the HBM, thereby not testing the usefulness of the model as whole.

b) as a psychological model it does not take into consideration other factors, such as

environmental or economic factors, that may influence health behaviors; and c) the model does not

incorporate the influence of social norms and peer influences on people's decisions regarding their

health behaviors (a point to consider especially when working with adolescents on HIV/AIDS

raised in the planning department of the Lockheed Company. These ideas were developed from the

research done by Igor Ansoff and Robert Steward in this company (MacIntosh& Maclean, 2014).

and how they see their duties and activities. The aim here is to know how supervisors manage partners

and how they remain for their interests. The partnership is viewed as an accumulation of interests, at

some point aggressive and different times helpful. Instrumental stakeholder theory majors on the

hierarchical consequences of considering partners in administration by analyzing the relations between

the act of partner administration and the achievement of different corporate administration targets. It

concentrates on how administrators ought to do in the event that they need work for their own great. In

some writing their own particular intrigue is acknowledged as the interests of the association, which

is to get the most out of benefit or to boost shareholder esteem.

This demonstrates if supervisors treat partners in accordance with the partner idea the projects was

more fruitful over the long haul (Freeman, Harrison, Wicks, Parmar, and DeColle, 2010). Freeman

Freeman, Harrison, Wicks, Parmar and De Colle, (2010) incorporates in this list of stakeholders

employees, stockholders, suppliers, and the organizations local community. This list, though similar

to list given by stakeholder theorists, is not uncontroversial. The stakeholder concept itself has its

critics. Those critics imply that the stakeholder approach is not capable of guiding essential

enhancements in corporate government in that numerous lines of accountability inferred by

acknowledging a multiplicity of stakeholders, minimizes efficiency and that the idea of stakeholders

participation on maternal health project. It’s acknowledged that many studies have been

done on the issue of community participation pointing out why communities do not

participate fully in a given project yet an immediate attention need to be put in place to

understand this in view of the growth of maternal health problems day in and day out.

Clearly there is a glaring importance in finding a lasting solution to this gap once and for all

by researching on other areas like influence of community participation on health which is

the back born of this study.
