Abstract
This chapter describes evidence-based health behaviour change theories and their applications in mental health nursing practice. The authors introduce various behaviour change theories' principles, components, and models. They emphasize the importance of understanding the processes involved in behaviour change and how mental health nurses can help individuals make positive changes to change behaviour that they find harmful. The chapter also provides practical examples of how these theories can be applied in mental health nursing practice. The chapter is a valuable resource for mental health nurses seeking to enhance their understanding of behaviour change theories and their role in promoting positive health behaviour in individuals.
