Motivational Interviewing“Motivational Interviewing (MI) is a directive, client-

centered counseling style for eliciting behavior change by helping clients to explore and resolve ambivalence.”

(Rollnick & Miller, 1995, p. 325)

MI is a person-centered counseling method for addressing the common problem of ambivalence about behavior change.

(Miller, 2010)

Relational aspect Ambivalence is resolved through empathy

and a spirit that instills capability

Technical aspect Ambivalence is resolved through the selective

reinforcement of a client’s thoughts and commitment for change

Essential Elements of Motivational Interviewing (MI):

♥ Ambivalence refers to

feeling two ways about a behavior

♥ Getting stuck in

ambivalence is common and should be expected

I know I should exercise more, But I just don’t have the time

Ambivalence is Normal in Making Lifestyle Change

Motivational Interviewing:Technical Definition

MI is a collaborative goal-oriented method of communication with particular attention to the language of change. It is intended to strengthen personal motivation for and commitment to a target behavior change by eliciting and exploring an individual’s own arguments for change.

(Miller, 2010)

Principles of Motivational Interviewing

♥ To express empathy

♥ Support self-efficacy

♥ Develop discrepancy

♥ Roll with resistance

These four main principles must be maintained to have a therapeutic interaction with patients.

(Levensky, Forcehimes, O’Donohue, & Beitz, 2007; Rolfe, 2004; Miller, Zweben, DiClemente, & Rychtarik, 1992)

New Guiding Principles of Motivational Interviewing

R= To resist the righting reflex

U= To understand & explore the patient’s own motivations

L= To listen with empathy

E= To empower the patient

(Rollnick, Miller, Butler, 2008)

The Spirit of Motivational Interviewing“The Dance”

♥ EVOCATION~~NOT JUST EDUCATION/ADVICE

♥ AUTONOMY~~NOT AUTHORITY

Carefully eliciting the values, assumptions, fears, expectations, and hopes of the person.

Enhancing Patient Connectedness Through the Nurse-Patient Relationship

♥ “Utilizing the theoretical framework of the theory of modeling and role-modeling (MRM), patient connectedness is a relationship that begins at the moment of initial contact between nurse and client with recognition that the relationship itself is integral to the nurse’s ability to model the client’s world.” (Erickson et al., 2006)

♥ “The initial relationship continues to grow and develop into a bond between the nurse and the patient. The patient is the central focus of the nurse’s care & all interactions and interventions are based from the patient’s perspective.” (Mitchell, 2007)

Enhancing Patient Connectedness Through the Nurse-Patient Relationship

♥ One of the greatest benefits of nurse-patient connectedness is the establishment of trust between the nurse and the patient(Erickson, 2006)

♥ Patients tend to better trust nurses who establish a relationship with them. (McCabe, 2004)

♥ An established relationship between the nurse and patient will, many times, lead to a feeling of safety allowing the patient to share more freely and openly with his/her nurse, than with loved ones. ( Anderson, 2007)

Assisting Patients to Achieve Healthy Behavior Change

#1. Accept that changing is difficult & each individual must develop their own, individual way of changing

(What works for one individual, does not always work for another.)

#2. Understand that changing is a process, not a single decision or act

(Change made over time can become a healthy habit individuals don’t want to lose.)

#3. Make changes in small increments, as little adjustments add up to big benefits (Don’t try to change everything at once!)

Achieving Healthy Behavior Change

#4. Learn about & understand the stages of change

Stage I: “I don’t need to change!” (Pre-contemplation)

Stage II: “Sure, I’ll change, but not right now. (Contemplation)

Stage III: “I want to change, but I’m not sure how to start” (Preparation)

Stage IV: “Let’s do it!” (Action)

Stage V: “Now, if I can just keep at it!” (Maintenance)

Change
