Primary healthcare nurses’ experiences with motivational interviewing in health promotion practice

Abstract

The nurses in the study had a positive experience with motivational interviewing, which can contribute to the increased use, adaption and development of motivational interviewing among primary healthcare professionals. Increased motivational interviewing knowledge and skills would also contribute to promotion of health lifestyle practices.

Healthcare professionals experience with motivational interviewing in their encounter with obese pregnant women

“…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.…”

“…Shorter hospital stays and better communication between HCPs and their patients require a clear and understandable approach (Nørgaard and Andreasen, 2012) The majority of training courses in MI last one to three days and are conducted in workshop formats (Rubak et al, 2006;Lindhardt et al, 2014;Brobeck et al, 2011). These workshops involve an introduction to the MI philosophy, the principles of MI, a demonstration of the methodology and a guided practice in mastering the MI technique (Soderlund and Nilsen, 2009;Lindhardt et al, 2014).…”

“…It has been shown that prior counselling experience may prevent HCPs from appreciating the benefits of MI, as they may continue to rely upon or revert to previously learned techniques. Another challenge is maintaining the skills of the MI method in order not to fall back to old communication habits (Bohman et al, 2013;Carpenter et al, 2012) since supervision and coaching must continue to maintain MI skills at required level (Brobeck et al, 2011). Only a few studies describe how HCPs experience the use of MI in healthcare and they describe lack of time as an essential factor (Brobeck et al, 2011).…”

El coaching i l'entrevista motivacional: punts de connexió

“…De fet, hi ha estudis que demostren la satisfacció de personal infermer en relació amb l'entrenament i aplicació de l'entrevista motivacional en pacients crònics (Brobeck, Bergh, Odencrants i Hildingh, 2011), encara que no siga molt emprada pel personal d'Infermeria en les consultes d'atenció primària (Castilla-Nieto, 2016).…”

Review of the integrity of a Self Administered Motivational Instrument

“…It has also been used in addressing a range of other behaviour changes such as smoking cessation (Emmons and Rollnick, 2001), diabetes (Treasure, 2004) and eating disorders (Treasure and Schmidt 2004). More recently MI has been implemented by healthcare nurses primarily as a method for health promotion practice (Brobeck et al 2011), with Thompson et al (2011) concluding MI is effective in changing behaviour in cardiovascular health. Also, in the education of healthcare professionals, MI has been applied to devise a self-administered instrument, called the SAMI (Self-Administered Motivational Instrument) that students can use to review and, where necessary or possible, make amendments to their approaches to higher education (HE) study (Duffy and Rimmer, 2008).…”
