    Author: McKenzie K, Chang YP.
    Journal: Perspect Psychiatr Care; 2015 Jan; 51(1):36-44. PubMed ID: 24433493.
    Abstract:
    PURPOSE: The purpose of this study was to test the effect of motivational interviewing (MI) on medication adherence in patients with bipolar disorder (BD) in an outpatient setting. DESIGN AND METHODS: Pretest-posttest design was used. The 3-week MI intervention consisted of one face-to-face session and two follow-up telephone interventions. Outcome measures included medication adherence, self-efficacy, and motivation to change. FINDINGS: Participants demonstrated significant improvement in medication adherence, self-efficacy, and motivation to change after receiving the MI. PRACTICE IMPLICATIONS: MI shows promising results as a treatment approach to improve medication adherence in adults with BD. Psychiatric-mental health nurse practitioners could improve client health outcomes by implementing MI techniques.
