The Theory at a Glance: A Guide for Health Promotion Practice (Second Edition) describes influential theories of health-related behaviors, processes of shaping behavior, and the effects of community and environmental factors on behavior. It complements existing resources that offer tools, techniques, and model programs for practice. Theory at a Glance makes health behavior theory accessible and provides tools to solve problems and assess the effectiveness of health promotion programs. For nearly a decade, public health and health care practitioners have consulted the original version of Theory at a Glance for guidance on using theories about human behavior to inform program planning, implementation, and evaluation. Theory at a Glance can be used as a stand-alone handbook, as part of in-house staff development programs, or in conjunction with theory texts and continuing education workshops. This guide provides a small number of current and applicable health behavior theories which are widely used for the purposes of cancer control, defining risk, and segmenting populations. ~

The National Institutes of Health Publication 11-2059, Taking Time: Support for People with Cancer, addresses the millions of Americans alive today who have a history of cancer. It addresses the feeling and concerns of people with cancer and their families. For them, cancer has become a chronic (on-going) health problem, like high blood pressure or diabetes. Just like everyone, people who have cancer must get regular checkups for the rest of their lives, even after treatment ends. But unlike other chronic health problems, if you have cancer you probably won't need to take medicine or eat special foods once you have finished treatment. If you have cancer, you may notice every ache, pain, or sign of illness. Even little aches may make you worry. You may even think about dying. While it's normal to think these thoughts, it's also important to focus on living. Although some people do die of it, many with the disease are treated successfully. Others will live a long time before dying from it. So, try to make the most of each day while living with cancer and its treatment. This book was written to help you learn from other people with cancer. Many people have helped write this book-patients, their family members, and friends. You will see their comments in all sections of the book. Finding out how others respond to cancer might help you understand your own feelings. And learning how others manage the special problems that cancer brings might help you find ways to cope with the problems that come along for you.~

The National Institutes of Health Publication 12-5726 When Someone You Love is Being Treated for Cancer: Support for Caregivers provides caregivers with coping strategies to help them deal with the stress and anxiety associated with caring for cancer patients. It discusses communication skills, ways to get support, feelings, and the need for self-care. This is for you if you’re helping your loved one get through cancer treatment. You are a “caregiver.” You may not think of yourself as a caregiver. You may see what you’re doing as something natural—taking care of someone you love. There are different types of caregivers. Some are family members, while others are friends. Every situation is different. So there are different ways to give care. There isn’t one way that works best. Caregiving can mean helping with day-to-day activities such as doctor visits or preparing food. But it can also be long-distance, coordinating care and services for your loved one by phone or email. Caregiving can also mean giving emotional and spiritual support. You may be helping your loved one cope and work through the many feelings that come up at this time. Talking, listening, and just being there are some of the most important things you can do. Giving care and support during this challenging time isn’t always easy. The natural response of most caregivers is to put their own feelings and needs aside. They try to focus on the person with cancer and the many tasks of caregiving. This may be fine for a short time. But it can be hard to keep up for a long time. And it’s not good for your health. If you don’t take care of yourself, you won’t be able to take care of others.~
