the outcome of obesity. Motivational Interviewing is” a directive person-centered approach designed to explore ambivalence and activate motivation for change” (Christi & Channon, 2014, p. 381). The authors continued that the fundamental approach to Motivational Interviewing is to communicate to patients that they have the right to make no change, but encourages patients to consider solutions to the problem at hand, collaborating with their healthcare provider to achieve the goal (Christi & Channon, 2014). Understanding that it is “the patient’s journey as they decide where to go and how to get there” (Christi & Channon, 2014, p. 381). Theoretical Perspective Adult and adolescent obesity, and weight gain are often a self-control issue, and …show more content…
The Stages of Change is a process, and the ability of an individual to adopt positive behaviors using the five stages of change. The five stages are: “pre-contemplation, contemplation, preparation, action, and maintenance (Yun, et al., 2015, p. 156). The pre-contemplation stage focuses on developing rapport and trust between the patient and provider, the contemplation stage focuses on the individual’s freedom to choose change, while the preparation and action stages focus on guiding the patient forward and not pushing him or her to change. Finally the maintenance stage is necessary to maintain the achieved change of behavior to better health (van Wormer, 2007). Every individual is different, therefore treatments assessed, and are based on the readiness of the individual to change. The treatment will depend upon the individual’s level in the five levels of change. TTM had been used as interventions for smoking cessation, exercise and physical activity, and drug addiction recovery, wherein studies show continuous positive effects (Yun, et al., …show more content…
Motivational interviewing focuses on the patient and not the provider, the provider presents to the patient the reasons of change, giving the patient a sense of purpose, direction, and the autonomy to control the solution to the problem (Gruhl & Van Leuven, 2014). There are four process of Motivational Interviewing model, they are: “engage, focus, evoke and plan” (Gruhl & Van Leuven, 2014, p.
Each week builds on education materials from prior weeks. The group is lead through decisional balance exercises. For instance, asking the Veterans to give positive reasons to lose weight and writing it down on the board with a separate column listing the hard and unpleasant things about losing weight. The dietitian notes the process and how the group had easier time generating first list; yet despite clear benefits, weight management is a struggle. The effectiveness of Motivational Interviewing (MI) relies on allowing the patients to discover their own reasons and determination to change a behavior.

The article, “How to Interview for Clients’ Strengths” by Peter De Jong and Scott D. Miller detailed the idea of focusing on clients’ strengths when interviewing them. The strengths perspective focuses on strengths, no matter how discouraged the client is, or how terrible their situation, they possess strengths necessary to improve their life. The article describes solution-focused interviewing, which is collaborating with the client to formulate goals and finding solutions based on exceptions. The article listed seven characteristics of well-formed goals: 1.
For the “Let’s Do This” program focused on reducing and controlling childhood obesity and adult onset of type II diabetes in Point Mar, an instructional strategy – lecture, quiz, games, and brain storming will be utilized. This is based on the Social Cognitive Theory applied to health behavior, which is an evidenced based approach (DiClemente, Salazar, & Crosby, 2013). The reason for utilizing this strategy is that this approach is based on behavioral adaptations that will improve health within the community. In addition, the five key constructs of the social cognitive theory are; knowledge, perceived self-efficacy, outcome expectations, goal formation, and socio-structural factors (DiClemente, Salazar, & Crosby, 2013). Another reason is that this strategy is a multi-level intervention approach that is aimed at the individual and his immediate social environment (DiClemente, Salazar, & Crosby, 2013), which plays a huge role in the incidence of Childhood Obesity in Vista County, which “Let’s Do This” is striving
For example, “if I quit my nerves with become bad. “ Then there is the preparation stage, this is the stage you make devise a plan and stick to it; although you know there may be resistant ahead you are willing to push past it and continue as plan. The next stage is “Action” you are now able to use your coping skills to help you make intelligent choices to finish what you have started. The finally stage is the maintenance stage. This stage you are experience change and working hard not to have a setback.
Phase 4 is the planning stage. During this phase, the change is fully identified, and the final draft of the plan is developed. Each member of the change process has been assigned their responsibilities. During phase 5, the role of the change agent is identified. Communication, feedback on progress, teamwork and motivation is emphasized in phase 6.
Motivational Interviewing is a patient centred approach which strengthens the patient’s motivation for and movement toward a specific goal by exploring and resolving ambivalence (Hettema et al. 2005). In the scenario in my digital recording, for example: the patient’s goal is to cut down/stopping drinking alcohol. A Nurse’s empathic and collaborative approach to this conversation technique supports the eliciting and discovering of the patient’s personal reasons to change (Miller & Rollnick, 2012). Four guiding principles (R.U.L.E) were devised in order for effective Motivational Interviewing to occur; resist the righting reflex, understand and explore patient’s own motivations, listen with empathy and empower patient providing hope and encouragement
Preferred Counseling Techniques As a counselor, I would perfer techniques such as motivational interviewing (MI), self-disclosure, reframing, cognitive restructuring and modeling. These techniques are familiar to those counselors who agree with the humanistic approach.

Good morning everyone, welcome to a formal morning tutorial/ lecture. The aim of this session is to discuss the following: national, strategic and theoretical issues relating to health promotion.

The video that I watched dealt with substance abuse counseling. It involved three different sessions emphasizing the technique of cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT). The first session was based upon caffeine substance addiction, the second was based upon obsessive cocaine use, and the third session was based upon cocaine use as well. Cognitive behavioral therapy is one of the widely used psychotherapies in substance abuse counseling. Its need is a psychological and cognitive change of behavioral habits that are detrimental to the client’s daily life such as substance addiction.
The interview style can be structured, semi-structured or open ended; less structured, open ended approached tends to be more appropriate when conducting an ethnographic interview. When a set of questions are previously formulated, this is considered semi-structured. Pre-formulated questions allow the clinician to pay careful attention to the client’s inaccuracies, their perception and their demeanor during the interview. During an open ended interview, the client tells their story which is done by purposeful guided questions from the clinician (Jordan & Franklin,
For instance, the Weight Watcher’s diet includes weekly gatherings where you meet with group of people who are also employing the same diet. In the gathering, you get to talk and listen about experiences with weight loss specifically by the Weight Watcher’s diet. Furthermore, a past Weight Watcher’s participant who was successful with battling their weight issues leads each meeting. The group gathering provides motivation as well as inspiration to continue further with the diet as you hear the journeys of others who are facing the same weight loss issues as you. To some, this aspect of the diet is helpful as it provides them with an opportunity to receive motivation by hearing others speak regarding their weight loss journeys as well as allowing them to ask for advice and insight.
Goals The main goal of ST is to help the patients change their dysfunctional patterns of behaviour and enable them to satisfy their core needs through the change of schemas and modes within which they are operating on a daily basis (Farrell, Reiss, Shaw, 2014). As emphasized earlier, schemas develop and are reinforced through the lifetime. Thus, it is hard to change the schemas because this is often the only thing that gives the patients sense of safety and stability, schemas are the only things they know about themselves. Schemas are the core of their identity and cognitive consistency.
The four processes that are used in motivational interviewing are engaging, focusing, evoking, and planning. Engaging is the process of building and supporting a relationship where trust and respect go both ways, focusing is the ongoing process of choosing and keeping a specific direction, evoking is bringing out another’s strengths and knowledge about the situation and themselves, planning is being with someone while they form specific actions to
