FA 2019, pg. 556. Stages of change model.

Precontemplation --> denying the problem (i.e. if this patient didn't think that he needed insulin to control his blood sugar)

Contemplation --> acknowledges the problem, but is unwilling to change (i.e. our patient here, knows that he needs insulin, but not ready to take it b/c it made people in his family sick)

Preparation/determination --> preparing for behavioral change (i.e. patient asking the doctor to prescribe insulin to control his blood sugar)

Action/willpower --> changing behaviors (i.e. patient is taking insulin)

Maintenance --> maintaining changes (i.e. patient has taken his insulin for last 5 years with fidelity)

Relapse --> returning to old behaviors and abandoning changes

In contemplation stage, the person is ambivalent about his thoughts. He knows both pros and cons of something. (as in our case)
