Motivational interviewing is a collaborative conversation style for strengthening a person’s own motivation and commitment to change.
Why is Motivational Interviewing (MI) a method to consider? • MI has substantial evidence base supporting it’s effectiveness in facilitating change in behaviors that are hard to change • MI is effective with both psychological (behavior change) and physical outcomes (BMI, BP, BAC) • MI focuses the responsibility for change on the patient; encourages self-management and self-determination
The efficacy of MI –meta analyses • MI out performs traditional advice giving in 80% of studies • Effective in 10-20 minutes • More encounters over longer time period increase likelihood of an effect • Physicians and other health providers can be as effective as psychologists or counselors
The Spirit of MI • Evocation of person’s motivation, hopes, dreams, desires, values, goals, and abilities. • Partnershipwith the person; MI is done “for” and “with” a person and not “to” a person. • Acceptance including accurate understanding, affirmation, absolute worth of the person, and support of the person’s autonomy. • Compassion; active promotion of the person’s welfare and needs.
Self-Efficacy & Hope • A person must have hope • This is predictive of how they will do • A provider’s expectation is also predictive Bandura’s Theory of Self-Efficacy

Sustain Talk • The least desirable situation, from the standpoint of evoking motivation, is:when the health provider advocates for change while the patient argues against it
Most of us already have pro-change reasons of our own. These reasons are more persuasive than those of others. Bem’s Self-perception theory

Four Foundational Processes Planning Evoking Focusing Engaging
Conversation Roadmap Set the stage and engage “I would like to spend about 10 minutes talking about your eating habit goals, would that be OK?” “What are you already doing to eat healthy?” “What do you notice . . .” Decide where to focus “There are a number of things that go in to healthy eating: more vegetables and fruits, less junk or sugar, regular meals . . Where do you feel ready to make a change?”
Healthy Eating Ideas • Eat out less Eat regular meals Cut back on sugar Increase fruits & vegetables Drink less soda Shop for food regularly
Conversation Roadmap Evoke deeper reasons “Why did you choose . . .?” “Why else would this be a good thing?” Plan when client is ready “What are you willing to try?” Summarize and Close “Let me see if I got it all . . .What are you ready to commit to in the next couple weeks?”
Debrief: Speakers first: “What seemed to further your change process?”
Debrief: Listeners What did you notice?
“It is through the power of our listening, not the wisdom of our words that we are able to affect the most change” Carl Rogers
