Motivational Interviewing PREPARING PEOPLE FOR CHANGE
Ambivalence The Dilemma of Change
Ambivalence • State of having simultaneous, conflicting feelings: • Mixed Feelings • Uncertainty • Indecisiveness
Consequences of Ambivalence • The result of being in a state of ambivalence can lead to avoidance or procrastination • OR…to deliberate attempts to resolve the ambivalence that may result in success or failure
Ambivalence • Ambivalence about proposed behavior change is NORMAL • Direct persuasion or advice giving is NOT an effective method for resolving ambivalence for most patients
The Righting Reflex Our desire to keep people from going down the wrong path, and to set things aright
Advice Regarding Health Behavior Change • We like to give it • We’ve been trained to give it • It’s not very effective • We do it anyway
Bad Example MI http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=80XyNE89eCs
“Motivation to change is not a personality trait, but is affected by interpersonal interaction” Miller & Rollnick, 1991
Four key principles • Express empathy • Develop discrepancy • Roll with resistance and avoid argumentation • Support self-efficacy
Good Example of MI http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=URiKA7CKtfc
What You Can’t Do with MI Ex. With a parent of a child who is overweight • In one given interaction you probably CANNOT: • Get the parent to totally change both the child’s eating AND exercise habits • Get the parent to change both the home food environment AND physical activity environment
What You Can Do with MI You probably CAN: • Assess readiness for change • Engage with the parent so that she sees you as someone who would be willing to help if and when she wants help • Use reflective listening to encourage the parent to consider even a small step toward change • Plant the seed for behavior change by using the “confidence ruler” technique
