  • Motivational Interviewing by Bruce Berger

Motivational Interviewing: A Therapy for Behavioral Change

Description: The purpose of this program is to assist participants in developing a dialogue with patients that assesses patients’ and parents understanding of hemophilia and its treatment and their motivation to adopt behaviors necessary for changes associated with treatment adherence, lifestyle changes, nutritional support, healthy choices, and hemophilia management. A very specific and validated method for accomplishing this, motivational interviewing, will be taught and demonstrated. Motivational interviewing is a patient-centered process of interpersonal skills used to understand patients’ and caregivers’ representations of illnesses and treatment and healthy behaviors to bring patients to making a commitment to change. The basic idea behind motivational interviewing is that patients and caregivers are often ambivalent or resistant about change. Ambivalence and resistance affects motivation to change and the development of appropriate coping strategies. Motivational interviewing is extremely useful because it teaches the health care provider to explore the patient’s ambivalence, resistance, and concerns. It focuses its attention on dealing with how patients and caregivers make sense of hemophilia and its treatment and then respond to their sense-making in a caring respectful manner. Information and education is tailored to the patient’s understanding and how they are making sense of the illness and its treatment. Motivational interviewing is a patient-centered approach that uses skills to assist the patient in making the argument for change rather than having a health care professional “push” for change.

Objectives: After attending this workshop participants will be able to:

  • Differentiate between practitioner centered thinking and patient centered thinking
  • Understand sense making and practical reasoning and their impact on motivation to change
  • Explain why the principle mode of health care provider-patient communication is often ineffective.
  • Describe the three major variables that affect motivation to change.
  • Discuss and apply the principles of motivational interviewing.
  • Incorporate principles of motivational interviewing into their practices (and their daily lives).
