Motivational Interviewing

Xofigo

Welcome to this course called ‘Motivational Interviewing (MI) and brief Interventions’.

We hope that you will find the principles and techniques of motivational interviewing, provided by this selection of learning resources from Bayer, helpful in your day-to-day practice with your patients.

 

What is motivational interviewing?

As a healthcare professional, you play an important role in empowering patients to make the right choice for themselves. Motivational Interviewing is an approach you can adopt to increase the impact of your conversations and empower your patients to take an active role in their treatment decisions. Motivational interviewing pays particular attention to the language of change, the aim being to strengthen the person's own motivation and confidence to change, and commitment to a particular goal.

Within the healthcare setting, Motivational Interviewing has been successfully used in many scenarios, including smoking cessation, medication adherence and alcohol addiction.

Module 1: A comprehensive introduction to MI in clinical settings

In module 1, the aim is on developing your confidence and skills in raising a subject or talking about a topic in a non defensive way or not triggering defensiveness in the patient.
It also covers checking what the patient already knows and sharing information and maybe building readiness to change and exploring ambivalence.
