  Webinar on Pt Empwerment, Motivational Interviewing, and Adult Learning Tools

  Posted by Mary Ann Hodorowicz Hodorowicz on August 16, 2024 at 2:03 pm

  “HOW CAN I GET MY PATIENTS TO CHANGE THEIR BEHAVIOR?”
  The answer: by incorporating patient empowerment (E), motivational interviewing (MI), and adult learning (A) tools! E and MI are patient-centered, evidence-based counseling methods that replace the ineffective but much used ‘compliance’ approach. Twenty-five easy, practical E-MI tools are reviewed (summarized in acronym A.D.O.P.T.E.E.S.). These tools include an easy way to identify a patient’s stage of readiness to change for each main diabetes intervention, and how exactly educators can use stage-based counseling strategies to reduce the patient’s resistance to change and ambivalence. Principles of adult learning are also summarized. Adults learn best when fun, 3D teaching aids are used. These principles are often overlooked or forgotten in clinical practices, and yet they are key to enhancing patients’ knowledge and skill outcomes (remember, a knowledge outcome triggers a behavior change outcome); so you will see actual pictures of many of my homemade aids in the slide deck…and how to make them yourselves.

  Upon successful completion of this 2-hour webinar course, the participant will be able to:

  • List 8 of the 24 E.M.A. tools for helping patients change their lifestyle behaviors (tools summarized in word A.D.O.P.T.E.E.S.)
  • Name the one MOST important tool for changing behavior.
  • Name the 6 “stages of readiness” to change a behavior
  • Name 3 questions of the 8 to prompt patient to persuade himself to change (questions summarized in word B.I.G.G.E.S.T.)
