  • Title: [Learning motivational interviewing to help patients change their health-related behaviors: medical students confirm it].
    Author: Fortini C, Daeppen JB.
    Journal: Rev Med Suisse; 2012 Jun 20; 8(346):1359-61. PubMed ID: 22792605.
    Abstract:
    At the Lausanne University, 5th year medical students were trained in Motivational interviewing (MI). Eight hours of training improved their competence in the use of this approach. This experience supports the implementation of MI training in medical schools. Motivational interviewing allows the health professional to actively involve the patient in this behavior change process (drinking, smoking, diet, exercise, medication adherence, etc.), by encouraging reflection and reinforcing personal motivation and resources.
