Health beliefs Psychological barriers
Beliefs Fear Motivation Confidence Schemas (core memories
beliefs) that filter interpretations and drive behaviour
Mental ill health Trauma/sensitisation
Beliefs about illness What do I expect to happen? Perceived susceptibility
(e.g., “it will be bad if I don’t change”)
Perceived severity
(e.g., “this is only mild”)
Costs/benefits Beliefs about what to do How important is to me? What sort of person am I? What are my values? Subjective norms/influences
(e.g., “Mum and the doctor think I should do this”)
Self-efficacy (e.g., “I can handle this”) Beliefs about medicine Balancing necessity and concerns Do I need it? Will it work? What are the side effects?

Health professionals Patient
❋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.
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
…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
❋Reframing non-adherence as “experimenting” ❋Expectation of a reciprocal relationship and collaboration
“You will need to work very hard to make this collaboration successful.”
The combination of an actively-listening clinician and actively-engaged patient leads to truly collaborative relationships (Latchford and Duff, 2011).

“Yes, but…”
Change talk can predict commitment and actual change Examples

…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)…

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

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

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

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.

questions
(strengths)
Why are open questions useful?
answers: more efficient
Examples “What to do you want to do?” “What are you most worried about?”
20
“You say you need to reduce your alcohol
“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
“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

Reflect & reinforce strengths you hear from the client
Clients often discount valuable traits
Use downward inflections in your voice to promote a flowing conversation.
22
Types of Reflections
Repeating or slightly rephrasing (e.g., “you are feeling frustrated about your doctor’s approach”)
Going beyond what the person said to reflect content
(e.g., “your amphetamine use is harming your relationships”)
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”).

Is a selective summary (bouquet) of all the change talk
(“I am listening”)
(“Have I heard you?”)
(“This is where we have got to”)
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”.
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.

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