Using Motivational Interviewing Techniques to
Help Patients to Change Risky/Problem Behaviours
Linda Carter Sobell, Ph.D., ABPPNova Southeastern University
ObjectivesLearn how to construct a
conversation with patients to influence their receptiveness to consider changing problematicor risky behaviours while not evoking resistance using Motivational Interviewing techniques
Constructing a Conversation with Patients
• WHY USE MI TECHNIQUES? So patients feel comfortable discussing their risky problematic behaviours with you
• HOW DO YOU APPROACH THEM? • Present information in non
judgmental, neutral context about risks of continuing the behaviour vs. benefits of changing
• INTENT: Increase a patient’s commitment to consider changing
Motivational Interviewing New Interviewing Style
• FOR WHOM? Patients ambivalent about changing
• WHY? To build rapport • GOAL: Help patients explore and
resolve ambivalence about changing• HOW: In a manner likely to increase a
patient’s motivation to change• AIM: Elicit reasons for changing from
patients vs. confronting or telling them to change
Motivational Interviewing
Patient-centered, directive method for eliciting intrinsic motivation to change, by exploring and resolving a patient’s ambivalence to change using reflective listening
Focus ofMotivational Interviewing
• Patient’s concerns and beliefs• Explore ambivalence about
changing in manner that increases motivation to changing without invoking resistance
• MI gives patients sense of empowerment
Motivational Interviewing• Developed early 1980s• Bill Miller (US) and Steve
Rollnick (UK)• Initially for substance
abusers• Why did it develop?• High dropout, high relapse
rates, and poor outcomes
Motivational Interviewing: Common Currency
• Over past 20 years, MI has had wide application to variety behavioural domains and patient populations
• Today practitioners use MI with all types of patients and problems (e.g., dietary and medication compliance problems-- hypertension, asthma, insulin dependent diabetes to eating disorders to schizophrenia to flossing)
• > 150 clinical studies• Today MI “COMMON CURRENCY”
among Health Care Practitioners
New View of MotivationConceptualized As
• STATE of Readiness to Change• Can vary from situation to situation
• Dynamic, fluctuating and a modifiable state
• Importantly, can be influenced by Practitioner’s interaction style
EMPATHY KEY MI FEATURE
• WHY? High levels of empathy associated with positive patient outcomes
• Key to expressing empathy through Reflective Listening
• Listening in a reflective manner demonstrates an understanding of patients and validates their concerns “It sounds like you are ambivalent
about changing (insert behaviour)”
Focus: Eliciting Change Talk
• HOW: Arguments for changing elicited from patients
• You are (insert problem or concern), what will happen if you don’t change (insert behaviour) in (use time frame if you want)
• Example 1: “You’re 55 & seem to be having difficulty breathing. What will happen in 5 years if you continue to smoke.
• Example 2:“I sounds like you are not happy with having to take you insulin. What do you know about what might happen if you don’t take it regularly?
Tone of Motivational Interviewing
• Nonjudgmental, nonconfrontational, empathic, supportive climate where patients can discuss good and less good things related to changing (insert behaviour).
• Inquisitive Tone allows you to address discrepancies between what patients say and do without engendering defensiveness
• “Help me to understand on the one hand you’re coughing, having trouble breathing and on the other hand you say cigarettes are not causing you any problems.”
• RESPECTFUL APPROACH
Motivational InterviewingTwo Key Components
• STYLE: How you say it• CONTENT: What you say • Critical Components for
influencing receptiveness to consider changing
STYLE: How You Say It
Use an Empathic, Nonjudgmental, Nonconfrontational, Supportive Manner
CONTENT: What You Say
“Do you floss?” vs. “What are the good and less good things about flossing?”
“Why are you still smoking?” vs. “It sounds like you are ambivalent about quitting.”
MI and Non-MI Comparison Exercise
Short Role Play Exercise: Compare and contrast effectiveness of talking with a smoker about quitting smoking using two interviewing approaches: Non MI and MI
1st Role Play
90 seconds• Role Play #1: Divide into pairs; one
person is Health Care Provider (HCP) and one is Patient (PT)
• HCP: Read questions as they appear
• PT: Answer in any way• Then we will evaluate how it felt• DO NOT GO TO ROLE PLAY #2
Therapist/ Health Care Practitioner
Patient seeing you for a routine visit and you noticed that on the medical history form they indicated they currently smoke cigarettes
Patient• 25 years old and married• Smoked for 10 years • Smokes about 1 pack a day• Eventually plans to quit, but
currently not worried about smoking and it is not causing any problems
How Did It Feel?In One Word
Non-MI Scenario Patient HCP
2nd Role Play
90 seconds• Role Play #2: Keep same PT
& HCP roles as 1st role play• HCP: Again read questions
as they appear• PT: Answer in any way• Then we will evaluate how it
felt
How Did It Feel?In One Word
MI Scenario Patient TH/HCP
MI Views Health Care Practitioner and Patient’s Relationship as Collaborative
Recognize patients’ ambivalence; Give patients advice so they can make better informed decisions; but ultimately the patients are responsible for changing
Health Care Practitioner Patient
Simulated Patient Scenarios
• First 2 scenarios with same patient• 1st demonstrates non-MI interview
• 2nd demonstrates MI interview
• After viewing both compare & contrast 2 interview styles

•Which skit is more likely to result in the patient quitting smoking?•Why?
Workshop FocusKey MI Techniques
• ASKING PERMISSION to discuss target change behaviour or for providing information about it
• REFLECTING what patients say• NORMALIZING• Using DECISIONAL BALANCING• Using READINESS RULERS to
assess readiness to change• Patients GIVE VOICE to changing
Asking Permission• “Do you mind if we talk about your
(insert behaviour)” • Communicates respect for patients; more
likely to get them talking about quitting• “Tell me a bit about your alcohol use, any
quit attempts, how has it affected your health?”
• “Would you be interested in learning more about how how alcohol can affect your hypertension?”
VALUE OF ASKING PERMISSION
• Major MI technique with patients• Provides opportunity to discuss patient’s
behaviour when not presenting problem (e.g., coming for physical or blood pressure check) and you want to talk about how exercise, diet, smoking can affect their overall health
• Allows conversation to continue even if patient not thinking of changing
• Respectful
Motivational Interviewing Creates an Understanding of Why People Do What They Do
Often Difficult to Understand Why Patients Continue to Engage In Problematic/Risky Behaviours
• Practitioners mostly see negatives — death, health problems, divorces
• Rarely, do we SEE or TALK about good things about the behaviour from patient’s perspective
• MI recognizes that MOST behaviour has GOOD and LESS GOOD THINGS that maintain it
What Can be Done to Help Patients Consider Changing?
• Get patients to explore their emotional attachment to their behaviour — to look at the good things they get from it and then the less good things
• Remember they’re ambivalent!
Most People, Not Just Patients, Ambivalent About Changing
• AMBIVALENCE critical concept in MI• Working with ambivalence is working
with HEART of the problem• Ambivalence normal everyday
occurrence• How many of you have ever made
New Year’s Resolution?
AMBIVALENCE IS NOT
• Reluctance to do something• Heightened psychological
conflict about choosing between two courses of action
• Continue Behaviour vs. Changing Behaviour
• Ambivalence difficult to resolve each side has costs & benefits
Ambivalence is a Powerful Emotion!
From the movie “Girl Interrupted” Vanessa Redgrave (Psychiatrist):
“How do you feel about your behaviour….?”
Winona Ryder (Client): “Ambivalent”
Redgrave: “That’s a pretty powerful emotion, let’s explore that together.”
Decisional BalancingHelping Patients to Consider Changing
Decisional Balancing• Can discuss problem risky
behaviours without suggesting its a problem
• Asking about good things creates SAFE context to then talk about “less good things”
• Allows Practitioners to sound credible as they VALIDATE a patient’s behaviour (good things)
Asking About Good and Less Good Things About Smoking
• “Tell me some of the good things about insert behaviour.”
• “Tell me some of the less good or not so good things about insert behaviour.”
• “What will your life be like if you continue engaging in insert behaviour for the next 5 years?”
• “How would your life be different if you did change?”
VALUE OF DECISIONAL BALANCING
• Explores good things and less good things related to the problematic/risky behaviour
• Addresses patient’s ambivalence about changing
• Goal: Tip scale in favor of changing
READINESS RULERSAssessing Readiness to
CHANGE
Definitely NOT Ready Definitely Ready To Change To Change
Using Readiness Rulers
• On a scale from 1 to 10, where 1 is Definitely Not Ready to Change & 10 is Definitely Ready to Change, what # best reflects how READY you area at the PRESENT TIME to change? Patient says 5
•On this same scale, where were you 6 months ago? Patient says 2
•How did you go from 2 to 5 (# 6 mo-NOW)?•What would it take for you to change?•What would be best outcome if you
change?
VALUE OF USING READINESS RULERS
• Patients at different levels of readiness to change
• Assess patient’s readiness to change
• Helps Practitioners recognize and deal with a patient’s ambivalence
• Allows patients to give voice to changing: “Where are you now. Where were you 6 months ago.”
Motivational Interviewing Requires a Special Type of Listening of the Kind We Don’t Normally Do
REFLECTIVE LISTENING• Primary way of responding to patients• After patient speaks Practitioner
paraphrases the patient’s comments• “I get the sense that you are wanting
to change, but are concerned about gaining weight”
• “It seems there is a lot of pressure for you to change, but you are not sure you can do it because you have tried before. What have you tried before?”
REFLECTIVE LISTENINGMore Examples
• “What I hear you saying is that insert behaviour is not causing you any problems now. What might it take for you to change?”
• “So what I hear you saying is that you know that insert behaviour is not good for you, but you are not experiencing any serious consequences that you are aware of. What do you know about the long-term consequences of insert behaviour over the next 5 years?”
Normalizing• Communicates to patients that
difficulty in changing is not uncommon — others have had similar experiences
• “Many women report feeling like you, they want to quit for the health of their baby, but find it difficult.”
• “That is not unusual, many people report making several attempts.”
• “A lot of people are concerned about gaining weight when quitting.”
VALUE OF REFLECTIONS AND NORMALIZING
• REFLECTIONS validate what patients are feeling
• REFLECTING back what patients say indicates you understood what they said
• NORMALIZING communicates that difficulty changing is not uncommon
Key MI Strategy Advice Giving
• Often patients have little or misinformation about their behaviours
• Advice or information presented in neutral, nonjudgmental manner can help patients make better more informed decisions about changing
• Focus on positives if possible
Simple Advice “Being Told” vs. MI Advice Strategies
• Traditionally, Practitioners encourage changing using Simple Advice
• “If you don’t stop….. this will happen……health consequences”
• Research shows effectiveness of simple advice very limited — only 5% to 10% people likely to change
• WHY? Most people don’t like being “told what to do”
MI Alternatives to Simple Advice
• Offer relevant new information in neutral, nonjudgmental, sensitive manner
• Ask Permission: “Do you mind if we spend a few minutes talking about your insert behaviour?
• Ask: “What do you know about how behaviour affects your health?”……your unborn child?” ……your teeth and gums?”
Focus on Benefits of Quitting
VALUE OF PROVIDING INFORMATION TO PATIENTS
• Often patients have little or no information about changing
• Can help patients make better informed decisions about changing
• How information is presented can affect how it is received
• Examples: “What do you know about….?” “Are you interested in learning more about…..?”
Research Shows• Effective and empathetic
communication between Practitioners and patients leads to
• Greater patient satisfaction • Greater compliance with medication
and treatment and attendance• Reduced health care costs, and• Significantly improved clinical
outcomes• Decreased malpractice litigation
MI Scenario Skills To Be Demonstrated
• Asking permission to discuss risky or problematic behaviour(s)
• Reflecting what the patient said• Normalizing • Using Decisional Balancing• Using Readiness Ruler to assess
readiness to change• Asking patient to give voice to new
goals• Asking permission to provide
information
