    Motivational interviewing is the practice of listening. Not just listening with an answer in hand, but actual active listening where information is gathered and recommendations are generated throughout the discussion. 

    This type of interviewing involves partnership with the patient and is a style of communication that puts them in the driver seat. It requires patience and respect from the provider as they must allow themselves to take a step back in order to empower and support the patient in their health care journey. 

    Although appropriate for most areas of behavior change, research shows that motivational interviewing works best when attempting to stop or prevent a certain behavior. However, there is some evidence to show effectiveness with promoting healthful behaviors as well. 

    There are certain domains where motivational interviewing is especially warranted in improving patient care. These include:

    Motivational Interviewing is evidenced based. Over the decades, it has proven to be an effective method for eliciting behavior change. It is popular when other attempts have failed and lifestyle modification is grossly needed for health improvement. Some providers have a natural inclination toward this method while others opt for training and specifics. There are many approaches under the umbrella of motivational interviewing, and each should be utilized based on the individuality of the patient and the provider’s level of experience. 

    With the constant challenges to the health and wellness industry, health care workers and medical providers must be open to a variety of approaches, including those that perpetuates compassion and evokes a desire to change. An approach such as motivational interviewing can lead not only to short term alterations, but also to a new perspective for health overall.
