Increasingly, autistic people are featured in the mass media, including the news, entertainment and social media, suggesting opportunities to positively influence community attitudes. However, autistic people are often stereotypically represented as a plot device, laughable, possessing savant-like traits, infantilized, or patronized as intellectually impaired. Such stereotypes either glamorize or minimize the challenges encountered by autistic people, perpetuating stigma and adversely impacting the mental health and well-being of autistic people and their families. Mental health nurses can help address the impact of sensationalist, misinformed, or derogatory media representations of autistic people by maintaining a contemporary understanding of the diversity within the autistic community. Mental health nurses can influence how this topic is framed by promoting accurate representations of autistic people; and choosing to use language that empowers rather than disempowers.

It remains uncertain whether PIBA contributes to healthier behaviors among its users. To comprehend patients' motivation to engage in health-promoting behaviors, it is essential to understand how various nursing interventions influence the behavior-specific thoughts and feelings that lead to healthy behaviors. By integrating the theoretical concepts within the health promotion model, we can gain a better understanding of how PIBA as an intervention impacts health-promoting behaviors. Thus, the aim of this study is to describe PIBA users' perspectives on health-promoting behaviors based on Pender's health promotion model. Data were collected through semi-structured interviews with 20 PIBA users, and analyzed through directed content analysis based on Pender's health promotion model. The results illustrate that PIBA users experienced that access to and confidence in PIBA, interpersonal support, and help building self-efficacy promoted health-related behaviors. Deficiencies in PIBA's environmental impact and high internal and external demands were conditions counteracting health-related behaviors. Thus, PIBA has the potential to promote health-related behaviors among its users. However, health professionals need to be mindful of factors that counteract health-related behaviors and should strive to minimize these for PIBA to function fully and guide patients toward healthier behaviors.</p>","PeriodicalId":14664,"journal":{"name":"Issues in Mental Health Nursing","volume":" ","pages":"243-253"},"PeriodicalIF":1.7,"publicationDate":"2025-03-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143052419","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
