Testing decisional balance and self-efficacy applied to workers' use of hearing protection

Article Abstract:

Study was conducted to investigate the utility of the Transtheoretical Model (TTM) for research with factory workers' use of hearing protection device (HPD) specifically focusing on the model suppositions related to the constructs of decisional balance and self-efficacy. Support was found for the presence of conceptually distinct stages of HPD use and the TTM predictions for decisional balance and self-efficacy across stages.
