“…Overall, the results support the published literature (Brobeck et al, 2011;Bartholomew et al, 2007;Bjerregaard et al, 2011;Rubak et al, 2006) that by employing key elements in MI (Rollnick et al, 2008), all HCPs expanded their consciousness by being aware of how practices such as asking permission to interrupt a conversation created trust and facilitated openness for pregnant women to change. This study shows that implementing MI when managing obese pregnant women can be achieved though it creates demands for the HCPs involved.…”

“…Subsequently most of the HCPs stated that a three day training course was sufficient as an introduction to use and implement MI in daily practice which is supported by others (Bjerregaard et al, 2011;Bohman et al, 2013). However they emphasised that they would have preferred follow up days with further training and more supervision in peer groups in order to develop their MI skills.…”

“…Accordingly, using MI it is assumed that the responsibility and capability for change lies in the pregnant woman herself (Rollnick et al, 2008). The evidence pertaining to the use of MI is growing and it is currently implemented within different behavioural domains and patient categories as above mentioned (Angus and Kagan, 2009;Brody, 2009;Rubak et al, 2009;Bjerregaard et al, 2011).…”

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.

Aims: This study surveys the childhood experiences of treatment-seeking young adult offspring of problem drinkers (AOPDs) and their psychological state at treatment baseline. Methods: Clients (N0502) entering a Danish nationwide treatment facility for young AOPDS completed the survey. Clients completed the Adult Children of Alcoholics Trauma Inventory, The Family Tree Questionnaire, the COREÁOM 34, Major Depression Inventory, and the Work and Social Adjustment Scale at treatment start. Results: A total of 48% of the clients' mothers and 75% of the clients' fathers were problem drinkers. Both parents were problem drinkers in 25% of cases, and 27% had at least one problem drinking stepparent. Mothers had on average drunk during 11.4 years of the clients' childhood (0Á18 years). Fathers had on average drunk during 13.4 years; 46% knew or believed that at least one of their parents suffered from a psychiatric illness; 44% reported physical violence; 63% reported psychological abuse; and 38% had not spoken to anyone about their family's problem. A further 20% had only spoken to a parent or sibling. Conclusions/implications: The study highlights the high degree of variation in AOPD clients' childhood experiences and in their levels of distress, corresponding with studies of non clinical samples. The study offers a bleak image of the extent of parental drinking and of other negative factors in these clients' childhood homes, coupled with the finding that clients have often not spoken to others about their parents' drinking. Mentioning parental drinking to a counsellor is thus a potentially highly significant counselling event, demanding counsellor sensitivity and attention.
