❋Giving advice tends to not work unless someone is ready to hear it. ❋A conversation is still the best tool we have for helping patients ❋Clinicians have a responsibility to update their communication skills. ❋Effective conversations can elicit better information on which to base

decisions and prescribing.

Collaborating with patients

Atul Gawande, surgeon, on incremental care: “We have a certain heroic expectation of how medicine works. Following the Second World War, penicillin and then a raft of other antibiotics cured the scourge of bacterial diseases… New vaccines routed polio, diphtheria, rubella, and

  • measles. Surgeons opened the heart, transplanted organs,

…heart attacks could be stopped; cancers could be cured….

Chronic illness …requires a more patient kind of skill ... steady intimate care”. Incrementalism: “It’s no one thing we do. It’s all of it”

“Warren Warwick Principles” (Minneapolis CF Center)

❋Collaboration: share the dilemma of managing treatment

regimens, listen to patients and families, building patient’s confidence, informed decisions.

❋Consistently convey high expectations. ❋Careful listening and communication: patients and health

professionals use words differently; avoid assumptions.

❋Validating non-adherence: clinicians are honest about their

  • wn stance, while realistic about what patients will actually do.

❋Reframing non-adherence as “experimenting” ❋Expectation of a reciprocal relationship and collaboration

“You will need to work very hard to make this collaboration successful.”

Collaborating with patients

The combination of an actively-listening clinician and actively-engaged patient leads to truly collaborative relationships (Latchford and Duff, 2011).

What can MI offer us in our quest for collaboration? Natural Language: Change and Commitment

“I hope so” “I wish I could” “I do” “I do”

Change talk and commitment

“Yes, but…”

Change talk can predict commitment and actual change Examples

“I need to …” “I will”

…a method of communication rather than a set of therapeutic techniques… It selectively focuses on asking about the not-so- good side of a problem behaviour… …time-limited (i.e. one off intervention)…

(Miller & Rollnick, 2002)

MI Defined

MI can be used in a range of ways: — A stand alone, change-oriented intervention — Combined with another intervention (e.g., medical consult, cognitive-behavioural therapy, risk assessment, discharge process). — A way to engage the client to prepare for a different intervention — A way to handle loss of motivation or discord arising during the course of another intervention

How do you know if someone is motivated?

  • Not a personality trait
  • Open to influence from events
  • within a person (e.g., beliefs,

tiredness, values, illness)

  • interpersonal events (e.g., objective

information, personal advantage)

  • Open to influence of others

(relationships).

Motivation

Motivation

  • It is normal to have mixed feelings.

“yes, but…”

  • Conflict between different desires and reasons.

Three ingredients of motivation:

  • Importance of change (willingness): more likely

when change has a deeper meaning “I want to change”

  • Readiness: a matter of priorities

“I want to change now”

  • Confidence (ability): perception of ability to

change “I can change”

MI Spirit

Spirit of MI

Partnership

  • Facilitate a relationship rather than direct or impose.
  • Honour clients’ experiences and perspectives.
  • Let go of the assumption that you supposed to have all the right

answers or solutions.

Acceptance

  • Absolute worth and potential of all human beings
  • Accurate empathy: a willingness to understand a client’s private

personal meanings.

  • Autonomy: it’s their life, their choice.
  • Affirmation: seek out and acknowledge a person’s strengths and

efforts

Evocation

  • Potential for change lies within the person.
  • We try to draw out what is already there rather than inform,

persuade or advise.

Compassion

  • A deliberate commitment to the welfare of clients.
  • Having your heart in the right place.

“I learn what I believe as I hear myself talk”

(Miller, 1995)

Spirit of MI

“We speak not only to tell

  • ther people what we think,

but to tell ourselves what we

  • think. Speech is a part of

thought”

Seeing Voices

Spirit of MI

  • Dr. Oliver Sacks,

neurologist (1933-2015)

“There is only one cardinal rule: One must always listen to the patient”

Therapeutic Principles of MI

Express Empathy

Skilful reflective listening is fundamental Empathy is not a feeling, it is a behaviour that must be visible to a client.

slide-17
SLIDE 17

17

Develop Discrepancy

Amplify any discrepancy between present behaviour and important personal goals or values. The client – not the health professional - presents the arguments for change

Therapeutic Principles of MI

Roll with Sustain Talk and Discord

  • Sustain talk (favouring the status quo)

is normal

  • Don’t go fishing for sustain talk.

Discord

  • Signals of discord within the counselling

relationship (e.g., hostility, talking over, blaming, ignoring).

  • Arguments are counterproductive.
  • Discord is a signal to change strategies.
  • Discord is not directly opposed.
  • Double back and honour autonomy.
  • Reflective listening is a key tool for restoring an

alliance.

Therapeutic Principles of MI

slide-18
SLIDE 18

Support Self-efficacy

The client’s belief in the possibility of change is motivating The client is responsible for choosing and carrying out change.

Every time we do work for the client we waste an opportunity for the client to learn that they can do it themselves.

Tools used in MI: the OARS

Open ended

questions

Affirmations

(strengths)

Reflections Summaries

The OARS

Why are open questions useful?

  • they encourage thinking and insight
  • get more information and unexpected

answers: more efficient

  • shows personal interest and caring
  • less work for you, more for the client

Examples “What to do you want to do?” “What are you most worried about?”

Open ended questions

slide-20
SLIDE 20

The OARS

“You say you need to reduce your alcohol

  • intake. Tell me more”

“If you did decide to do it, how would you do it?” “What are the three best reasons for you to make this change?” “On a scale of zero to ten, how important is it for you to test your blood sugars?”

Open questions to elicit change talk

The OARS

“How might you go about making this change?” “What gives you confidence you can do this?” “What would be a good first step?” “On a scale of zero to ten, how confident are you that you can practice protected sex?”

Open questions to elicit commitment talk

Affirmations (Strengths)

Reflect & reinforce strengths you hear from the client

  • qualities
  • effort
  • ability
  • confidence
  • change

Clients often discount valuable traits

  • r experiences

The OARS

Reflections

  • A key skill of MI
  • Proof that you are listening
  • Validating (empathy behaviour)
  • Clarifying (for both of you)
  • The client keeps talking and elaborates

Use downward inflections in your voice to promote a flowing conversation.

The OARS

slide-22
SLIDE 22

Types of Reflections

  • Simple reflection

Repeating or slightly rephrasing (e.g., “you are feeling frustrated about your doctor’s approach”)

  • Complex reflection

Going beyond what the person said to reflect content

  • r feeling not explicitly stated

(e.g., “your amphetamine use is harming your relationships”)

  • Double-sided reflection

Reflects both sides of ambivalence, connected by “and” (not “but”) – both things are true. (e.g., “you are fearful about telling work about your health conditions and you can see that disclosing could be a big relief”).

The OARS

Speaker

Summarising

Is a selective summary (bouquet) of all the change talk

  • Deepens engagement

(“I am listening”)

  • Clarify understanding

(“Have I heard you?”)

  • Consolidate progress

(“This is where we have got to”)

  • Shift attention or direction

Example: “You have concerns about how your running away from

your health needs and over-working, you want to pace yourself and accept your limits. You are ready to reduce your work hours and make more time for exercise and your mental health”.

The OARS Activity: Clarifying Meaning

The power of listening and reflecting to clarify meaning

Turn to a neighbour. Choose a speaker and a listener. Speaker - “Something you should understand about me is that I am…. ” (use 1 or 2 words only) Listener - Make a reflective statement to clarify the meaning, inflecting your tone downwards: “You’re saying that you are….” (use 1 or 2 words only)…..” Speaker - answer “yes” or “no” only Offer 5 reflections. Take turns at being the listener.

0-------1--------2--------3--------4---------5---------6---------7--------8---------9------10

Not at all Somewhat Extremely Important Important Important Why a 4 and not a 2……..? What would it take for you to get to a 6……..?

Evoking Change Talk Rulers

Elicit-provide-elicit strategy

A relationship lies at the heart of informing. Be attentive to the preferences and needs of the patient.

(Rollnick, Miller & Butler, 2008).

Elicit Provide Elicit

Informing and Advising

“Can you tell me what you understand about …?” “What you would you most like to know about …?” “What do you already know about ...?” “I have some other information that may be

  • useful. Would it be okay

if I shared that with you?” “Would you be interested in hearing about things that have worked for

  • ther people?”

“What do you make

  • f that?”

“What are your thoughts about that?” “Do any of those ideas sound of interest to you?”

Summary

  • Motivation is an important part of behaviour change. People are

more likely to undertake change when they: see the change as important; are ready; and are confident about enacting change.

  • Motivational interviewing is a collaborative, person-centred form
  • f guiding to resolve ambivalence about an agreed target behaviour.
  • The spirit of MI (our relationship with the patient) is like a

safety net to have conversations that don’t provoke discordance, and emphasises a person’s intrinsic worth and autonomy.

  • MI pays careful attention to natural language about the status quo,

change, confidence and commitment.

  • Counselling skills applied well can take you a long way.

Demonstrating empathy with reflective listening is an important skill. Less is more.

  • The combination of an actively-listening clinician and

actively-engaged patient leads to truly collaborative relationships (Latchford and Duff, 2011).
