“…When the parents meet an empathic staff member able to engage in a constructive conversation, it seems that the parents discover new opportunities and resources to overcome obstacles in their lives by implementing changes. This finding is consistent with the analysis by Faris et al (2009) on MI from a client agency perspective. They define client agency as the individual capability of engaging in recovering or self-healing activities.…”

Aims:This study aimed to explore parents' perception and experience of a brief intervention (BI), focusing on their alcohol consumption habits to assess the impact on parents of staff members using motivational interviewing (MI) and to gain knowledge of how to reinforce initiatives regarding behavioural changes of lifestyle problems in a clinical setting. Background: Substantial parental alcohol consumption influences children's development negatively. Nursing staff lacks knowledge and training in communicating with parents about alcohol issues. Little is known about parents' attitudes towards, and perception of, nursing staff addressing issues concerning their use of alcohol. Methods: A qualitative approach by use of phenomenological and hermeneutic methods was applied. Through interviews with 15 parents, their opinions and perceptions of a brief alcohol intervention were explored. Results: Three themes emerged from the phenomenological reduction: (1) experiencing respect and genuine interest from the nursing staff, (2) BI causing reflections on own use of alcohol, and (3) reflections continuing and developing over time. Conclusion and practice implications:The parents did not mind having their lifestyle habits discussed in connection with having their child admitted to hospital. The method MI proved effective in getting the parents to talk about and reflect on alcohol consumption habits. The effects of the intervention seemed to last beyond the first months after the intervention took place.

“…That is, the therapist operating from this "client-asexpert" stance may promote greater client self-trust and selfreliance (Bohart & Tallman, 1997;Rogers, 1959); the advantages of which may be particularly evident after treatment ends and the client must cope independently of therapist guidance. In other words, the MI-CBT therapist's constant search for opportunities to find, call forth, and foster client agency (at all stages of change), together with the therapist's inherent belief in the client's capabilities, may lead clients to internalize a belief in, and an increasing reliance on, their own inner resources (Faris, Cavell, Fishburne, & Britton, 2009).…”

“…MI is a therapeutic approach designed to facilitate individuals' capacity to make adaptive health‐related choices and changes (Miller & Rollnick, 2012). Important to the effective use of MI is adherence to the fundamental tenet of respecting individuals' autonomy and sense of agency (Faris, Cavell, Fishburne, & Britton, 2009). Also potentially relevant is the transtheoretical model of change (Prochaska & DiClemente, 1994), which in the context of CG‐IM would recognize that parents likely vary in their readiness to reach out and seek the support of other adults in caring for their children.…”

Objective To assess parents' perceptions of barriers and facilitators to promoting informal mentoring relationships for their children with caring adults in their existing social network. Background Supportive relationships with nonparental adults are critical to positive youth development, social capital, healthy living, and upward mobility, but not all children experience such relationships. Because parents are the primary gatekeepers to children's social networks, we presumed that parents could play a role in shaping children's informal mentoring relationships. Method We conducted eight focus groups and used a semistructured interview to ask participants about mentoring and potential barriers or facilitators to connecting children with informal mentors. Participants were 55 parents/caregivers (Mage = 41.43 years; 96.4% female; 77.9% unmarried). Results Parents were open to the involvement of nonparental adults in children's lives, but they differed in the extent to which their social network offered viable mentor candidates. Other barriers included feeling too proud to ask for help and concerns that informal mentors would be unsafe or inconsistent. Facilitative factors included appreciating the benefits of informal mentoring relationships, feeling connected to one's community, and being able and willing to ask for help in the face of doubt or fear. Conclusion Parents were generally positive about children receiving support from informal mentors and acknowledged the potential role they could play in forming those connections; they also recognized potential barriers to making those connections. Implications Parents' perception about their “village” suggests the need to develop and evaluate programs that help parents connect children with supportive informal mentors.
