Objectives
• Identify at least three approaches to effective
communication
• Assess a patient’s readiness to change
• Determine how this assessment of readiness to
change can be used clinically to develop
constructive dialogue about behavior change
• Identify case examples in the care of older adults
and/or their caregivers suitable for MI techniques
Definition of MI
• “A person-centered, directive method of
communication for enhancing intrinsic
motivation to change by helping clients
explore and resolve ambivalence.”
Miller & Rollnick (2002)
How is MI Different?
Why Use MI?
• 1st meeting matters!
• MI + Active treatment
• Bigger effect with minority samples than with
Anglo/White samples
• Broadly applicable
• Increases treatment retention
• Increases treatment adherence
Studies of Interest
• MI & Cardiac Care (Watkins et al, 2007)
– n=411
– MI leads to improvement in patient mood 3
months post stroke
• Adherence to Medication (Solomon et al,
2010)
– n=879
– MI leads to improved medication adherence for
people with osteoporosis
Studies of Interest Continued
• Anxiety & Older Adults (Stanley et al, 2009)
– n=134
– CBT with MI resulted in greater improvement in
worry severity, depressive symptoms, and general
mental health

Develop Discrepancy
• Awareness of consequences is important
• A discrepancy between present behavior and
important goals will motivate change
• The patient should present the arguments for
change
Avoid Argumentation
• Arguments are counter productive
• Defending breeds defensiveness
• Resistance is a signal to change strategies
Roll with Resistance

•
•
Momentum can be used to good advantage
Perceptions can be shifted
New perspectives are invited but not imposed

solutions to problems
Express Empathy

•
Acceptance facilitates change
Skillful reflective listening is fundamental
Ambivalence is normal
Respond to a patient’s ambivalence as
understandable, comprehensible, and valid
Support Self-efficacy

important motivator
• The patient is responsible for choosing and
carrying out personal change
• There is hope in the range of alternative
approaches available
