Motivational interviewing (MI), initially developed for addiction counseling, has increasingly been
applied in public health, medical, and health promotion settings. This article provides an overview of MI,
outlining its philosophic orientation and essential strategies. Major outcome studies are reviewed,
nuances associated with the use of MI in health promotion and chronic disease prevention are described,
and future directions are offered.

Motivational interviewing (MI), originally described by Miller
in 1983 and more fully discussed in a seminal text by Miller and
Rollnick in 1991, has been used extensively in the addiction field
(Dunn, Deroo, & Rivara, 2001; Noonan & Moyers, 1997). There
has been considerable recent interest on the part of public health,
health psychology, and medical professionals in adapting MI to
address other health behaviors and conditions, such as smoking,
diet, physical activity, screening, sexual behavior, diabetes control,
and medical adherence (Emmons & Rollnick, 2001; Resnicow,
DiIorio, et al., 2002).
This article provides an overview of MI, describing its philo-
sophic orientation and essential strategies, with an emphasis on
application to health promotion and chronic disease prevention.
Major outcome studies in which MI has been used in the context
of health promotion and behavioral medicine are reviewed. Nu-
ances that distinguish its use for changing chronic disease and
nonaddictive behaviors are addressed, and future directions are
offered.
MI Overview
MI is neither a discrete nor entirely new intervention paradigm
but an amalgam of principles and techniques drawn from existing
models of psychotherapy and behavior change theory. MI can be
thought of as an egalitarian interpersonal orientation, a client-
centered counseling style that manifests through specific tech-
niques and strategies. A key goal of MI is to assist individuals to
work through their ambivalence about behavior change, and it
appears to be particularly effective for individuals who are initially
low in terms of readiness to change (Butler et al., 1999; Heather,
Rollnick, Bell, & Richmond, 1996; Miller & Rollnick, 1991;
Resnicow, Jackson, Wang, Dudley, & Baranowski, 2001; Rollnick
& Miller, 1995).
The tone of the MI encounter is nonjudgmental, empathetic, and
encouraging. Counselors establish a nonconfrontational and sup-
portive climate in which clients feel comfortable expressing both
the positive and negative aspects of their current behavior. Unlike
some psychotherapeutic models that rely heavily on therapist
insight or traditional patient education ...
Motivational Interviewing by Ravi Kolli,MDravikolli
Motivational Interviewing is a client-centered treatment approach that aims to resolve ambivalence and increase intrinsic motivation for change. It seeks to increase the importance a client places on changing and their belief that change is possible. Motivational Interviewing has been shown to be effective in treating substance abuse and increasing compliance with medical treatment plans in as little as 1-4 sessions. Key principles of Motivational Interviewing include expressing empathy, rolling with resistance rather than confronting it, developing discrepancy between a client's goals and behaviors, and supporting a client's self-efficacy for change.
Motivational interviewing is an effective counseling technique for behavior change that has been shown to work for issues like exercising, healthy eating, mental health problems, and addiction. It focuses on developing a person's intrinsic motivation by allowing them to work through issues and create a personalized change plan. As a registered mental health nurse, I will use motivational interviewing to help Mildred, a moderately obese Hindu woman with a teenage daughter, hypertension, and a partner with mental health issues. I will engage with her, build rapport, explain confidentiality, and focus the discussion on her values, goals, and priorities to develop a change plan that empowers her autonomy.
The document provides an overview of motivational interviewing. It discusses the efficacy of MI, which has been shown to be effective in treating addiction and other health behaviors in as little as 1-4 sessions. It outlines the stages of change model and describes strategies and principles of MI, including expressing empathy, developing discrepancy, avoiding argumentation, and supporting self-efficacy. The document emphasizes that the spirit of MI is collaborative and aims to evoke motivation for change from clients in a warm, respectful manner.

Motivational Interviewing: moving from why to
how with autonomy support
Ken Resnicow* and Fiona McMaster
Abstract
Motivational Interviewing (MI), a counseling style initially used to treat addictions, increasingly has been used in
health care and public health settings. This manuscript provides an overview of MI, including its theoretical origins
and core clinical strategies. We also address similarities and differences with Self-Determination Theory. MI has
been defined as person-centered method of guiding to elicit and strengthen personal motivation for change. Core
clinical strategies include, e.g., reflective listening and eliciting change talk. MI encourages individuals to work
through their ambivalence about behavior change and to explore discrepancy between their current behavior and
broader life goals and values. A key challenge for MI practitioners is deciding when and how to transition from
building motivation to the goal setting and planning phases of counseling. To address this, we present a new
three-phase model that provides a framework for moving from WHY to HOW; from building motivation to more
action oriented counseling, within a patient centered framework.
Introduction
Motivational Interviewing (MI) is a counseling style initi-
ally used to treat addictions [1-5]. Its efficacy has been
demonstrated in numerous randomized trials across a
range of conditions and settings [5-8]. Over the past 15
years, there have been considerable efforts to adapt and
test MI across various chronic disease behaviors [7,9-21].
This article provides an overview of MI and its philo-
sophic orientation and essential strategies, with an
emphasis on its application to health promotion and
chronic disease prevention. Because many practitioners
find it difficult deciding when and how to transition from
building motivation to the goal setting and planning
phases of counseling, we present a new three-phase
model that provides a framework for helping clinicians
transition from the WHY to HOW phase; from building
motivation to more action oriented counseling. Further,
we discuss possible connections between elements of the
three phase MI model and Self-Determination Theory.
Overview of Motivational Interviewing
MI is an egalitarian, empathetic “way of being”. It is a
communication style that uses specific techniques and
strategies such as reflective listening, shared decision-
making, and eliciting change talk. Recently it has been
defined as a “person-centered method of guiding to eli-
cit and strengthen personal motivation for change“ [22].
An effective MI practitioner is able to strategically bal-
ance the need to “comfort the afflicted” and “afflict the
comfortable"; to balance the expression of empathy with
the need to build sufficient discrepancy to stimulate
change.
One goal of MI is to assist individuals to work

change. MI appears to be particularly effective for i ...
The document provides an overview of motivational interviewing (MI), including its evolution, research supporting its effectiveness, core components, and processes. MI is a goal-oriented counseling approach developed to strengthen personal motivation for change. Key aspects of MI include developing a partnership between counselor and client, accepting client autonomy and perspectives without judgment, eliciting the client's own motivations for change, and having compassion for the client. The four processes of MI are engaging with the client, focusing discussions on a goal, evoking the client's own arguments for change, and planning steps toward change.

Psychiatric-mental health nurse practitioners usually play a key role in promoting health care. Their primary role is providing psychotherapy and educating patients and families. However, patients and health care providers are facing various issues particularly stigma, discrimination and prejudice which has negatively affected the provision of health care services. The modelling and role modelling theory is one of the theories that is relevant and can greatly help to deal with the problem and may be used as a framework to guide evidence-based practice.

Modelling and Role Modelling Theory
It was developed by Helen Erickson, Evelyn Tomlin and Mary Anne and was published in 1983.
This theory helps health care providers to care for and nurture every patient based on their needs.
Commonalities in the theory include attachment and loss, basic needs, holism and cognitive stages.
Differences in the theory include self-care, stress, adaptation, model of the world and inherent endowment.
The modelling and role modelling theory was developed by Helen Erickson, Evelyn Tomlin and Mary Anne and was published in 1983. This is a crucial theory in nursing because it helps health care providers to care and nurture patients while upholding the awareness and respect of every patient’s uniqueness (Smith, 2019). Due to that, this theory is considered to support clinical practices that concentrate on the needs of patients. The theory looks at certain elements like attachment and loss, holism, basic needs and cognitive stages. It focuses on certain differences amongst people including stress, self-care, adaptation, model of the world and inherent endowment.

Relevance of the Theory
Modelling involves health care providers seeking to know and understand patients’ personal model of their world.
Health care providers learn to appreciate the value of patients’ personal model of the world and its importance.
This theory acknowledges that all human beings have unique perspectives about their world.
Health care providers are able to develop an image and understanding of patients’ perspective and personal model of the world.
The modelling and role modelling theory is relevant to my nurse practitioner specialty since it entails crucial aspects that promote the well-being of patients. During the modelling process, nurses are able to find out and comprehend the personal model of patients and learn how t.
William Glasser developed reality therapy, which focuses on helping clients make responsible choices to meet their basic needs and improve their lives. Glasser believed human behavior is driven by five basic needs: survival, love, power, freedom, and fun. Reality therapy techniques encourage clients to evaluate their current situation, make action plans, practice new behaviors, and improve relationships to close the gap between their desired life and reality. The goal is to help clients gain a sense of control by making choices that lead to more fulfilling and productive lives.
This document provides an overview of motivational interviewing (MI) as an approach to increasing motivation for change. It defines MI and outlines its key principles of expressing empathy, developing discrepancy, rolling with resistance, and supporting self-efficacy. The document also describes the 8 stages of learning MI and the FRAMES approach, which involves providing feedback, emphasizing personal responsibility, advising on change options, providing menus of options, expressing empathy, and supporting self-efficacy. The goal of MI is to elicit a person's own intrinsic motivation for change through a collaborative conversation.

learning objectives 16 16.1 Who seeks therapy and what are the goals of therapy? 16.2 How is the success of psychotherapy measured? 16.3 What are some of the factors that must be considered to provide optimal treatment? 16.4 What psychological approaches are used to treat abnormal behavior? 16.5 What roles do social values and culture play in psychotherapy? 16.6 What biological approaches to treating abnormal behavior are available? Most of us have experienced a time or situation when we were dramatically helped by talking things over with a relative or friend. Most therapists, like all good listeners, rely on receptiveness, warmth, and empathy and take a nonjudgmental approach to the problems their clients present. But there is more to therapy than just giving someone an opportunity to talk. Therapists also introduce into the relationship psychological interventions that are designed to promote new understandings, behaviors, or both on the client’s part. The fact that these interventions are deliberately planned and systematically guided by certain theoretical preconceptions is what distinguishes professional therapy from more informal helping relationships. An Overview of Treatment The belief that people with psychological problems can change—can learn more adaptive ways of perceiving, evaluating, and behaving—is the conviction underlying all psychotherapy. Achieving these changes is by no means easy. Sometimes a person’s view of the world and her or his self-concept are distorted because of pathological early relationships that have been reinforced by years of negative life experiences. In other instances, environmental factors such as an unsatisfying job, an unhappy relationship, or financial stresses must be the focus of attention in addition to psychotherapy. Because change can be hard, people sometimes find it easier to bear their present problems than to challenge themselves to chart a different life course. Therapy also takes time. Even a highly skilled and experienced therapist cannot undo a person’s entire past history and, within a short time, prepare him or her to cope adequately with difficult life situations. Therapy offers no magical transformations. Nevertheless, it holds promise even for the most severe mental disorders. Moreover, contrary to common opinion, psychotherapy can be less expensive in the long run than alternative modes of intervention (Dobson et al., 2008; Gabbard et al., 1997). Numerous therapeutic approaches exist, ranging from psychoanalysis to Zen meditation. However, the era of managed care has prompted new and increasingly stringent demands that the efficacy of treatments be empirically demonstrated. This chapter will explore some of the most widely accepted psychological and biological treatment approaches in use today. Although we recognize that different groups of mental health professionals often have their own preferences with respect to the use of the terms client and patient, in this chapter we use ...
House of New Hope is a statewide Christian nonprofit providing behavioral health services in Ohio since 1992. It utilizes a recovery-based treatment philosophy that views mental health conditions as disabilities that can be managed, rather than illnesses to be cured. The provider acts as a partner rather than director, focusing on strengths rather than just symptoms, and assisting clients in managing their conditions long-term through empowerment and community reintegration. Language and approach emphasize clients' abilities rather than limitations.

Addiction: A Pathology of Motivation and the Role of Motivational Interviewin...iretablog
This document provides an overview of motivational interviewing (MI) as an effective technique for behavior change, especially for substance abuse. It describes the transtheoretical model of change and the four stages people progress through when considering behavior change. The core principles of MI are explained, including expressing empathy, supporting self-efficacy, rolling with resistance, and developing discrepancy. MI aims to increase change talk and readiness to change through open-ended questions, affirmations, and reflections. It can be effectively used by primary care physicians to enhance treatment engagement for substance abuse issues.
I understand this is difficult to discuss. Let's take a step back - my role is not to judge but to understand your perspective and support you in making choices that align with your values and priorities. Perhaps we could explore how drinking fits into your life goals and what matters most to you.
This document provides an overview of several common health behavior models:
- The Health Belief Model focuses on perceptions of susceptibility, severity, benefits and barriers to taking health actions. It has been widely used to study preventive health behaviors.
- The Trans-Theoretical Model proposes that individuals progress through stages of change when adopting healthy behaviors. The stages are precontemplation, contemplation, preparation, action, and maintenance. Processes of change and decisional balance are also discussed.
- Applications of these models to oral health are mentioned, such as using stages of change for tobacco cessation counseling. While useful, more research is still needed on using these frameworks to predict oral health behavior change.
This document provides an overview of several common health behavior models, including the Health Belief Model and Trans-Theoretical Model. It discusses key concepts and constructs of each model, such as perceived susceptibility, severity, benefits and barriers. The Health Belief Model focuses on attitudes and beliefs that influence behaviors. The Trans-Theoretical Model examines an individual's readiness to change behaviors through different stages. Both aim to help understand health behaviors and design effective interventions.
This document provides an orientation for behavioral health services at House of New Hope. It discusses the organization's mission to help people through faith-based and professional services. It introduces the clinical leadership team and describes the treatment philosophy as focusing on strengths, empowering individuals in their recovery, and using a collaborative approach between providers and those seeking help. The document contrasts this philosophy with a traditional medical model and discusses how language and documentation have shifted to better reflect recovery-oriented care.

•The empirical evidence supporting a strengths-based approach
•Specific practice guidelines for recruiting client resources to promote change
•The link between pluralistic counselling and a focus on client strengths
This document discusses holistic treatment for substance abuse. It provides an overview of the history and models of addiction treatment, including the moral, disease, and multi-causal models. Holistic treatment aims to address addiction in all aspects of a person's life through counseling, education, medical care, and lifestyle changes. The Veterans Administration uses holistic treatment including tai chi, yoga, and art/music therapy. Research on holistic treatment models like those used by the VA could help expand treatment options for co-occurring disorders.
The document discusses several theories of behavior change that can be applied to improve health behaviors. It summarizes the Health Belief Model, which focuses on perceptions of susceptibility, severity, benefits and barriers. It also describes the Stages of Change Model and Transtheoretical Model, which view behavior change as a process through stages. Motivational Interviewing is explained as a technique to activate a patient's own motivation for change through collaboration, evocation and autonomy.

Learning Activity #1
Using your reading material create a chart that describes the type, characteristics of the culture, associated values that would be important to keep the culture alive, and kinds of organizations structures that work best for culture. Compare and contrast them in your explanation of the chart. For instance what culture might work for Joe at the new sawmill and then which one might work at Purvis' shoe company.
Theme two: How to Create, Change, and Align Culture to the Structure and Vision.
Organizational Structure
Preface:
A leader’s job is to create the direction for the company to move forward. The leader does this in steps. Here are the steps of the process:
First, the leader designs the vision and mission for the company and second, the leader must establish an organizational structure which promotes the vision, mission and empowers the employees to keep the forward movement in the organization.
In creating the structure various factors must be considered.
· First and foremost is the purpose of the company or organization. What type of structure will best accomplish that goal? Certainly a company like UPS needs a somewhat rigid structure that is set up to focus on procedure and time sensitivity. Since UPS has as its goal to get the correct parcels to the right customers in the fastest way possible, variance in procedures or ways of accomplishing the tasks would never work. A tight delineated structure is imperative.
· Along with the purpose the leader must look at the vision of the organization. Where does the leader want the organization to go? How best can the structure provide for the future? Will the vision call for expansion into other countries or simply call for product development changes? Do you plan a struct ...

learning objectives 16 16.1 Who seeks therapy and what are the goals of therapy? 16.2 How is the success of psychotherapy measured? 16.3 What are some of the factors that must be considered to provide optimal treatment? 16.4 What psychological approaches are used to treat abnormal behavior? 16.5 What roles do social values and culture play in psychotherapy? 16.6 What biological approaches to treating abnormal behavior are available? Most of us have experienced a time or situation when we were dramatically helped by talking things over with a relative or friend. Most therapists, like all good listeners, rely on receptiveness, warmth, and empathy and take a nonjudgmental approach to the problems their clients present. But there is more to therapy than just giving someone an opportunity to talk. Therapists also introduce into the relationship psychological interventions that are designed to promote new understandings, behaviors, or both on the client’s part. The fact that these interventions are deliberately planned and systematically guided by certain theoretical preconceptions is what distinguishes professional therapy from more informal helping relationships. An Overview of Treatment The belief that people with psychological problems can change—can learn more adaptive ways of perceiving, evaluating, and behaving—is the conviction underlying all psychotherapy. Achieving these changes is by no means easy. Sometimes a person’s view of the world and her or his self-concept are distorted because of pathological early relationships that have been reinforced by years of negative life experiences. In other instances, environmental factors such as an unsatisfying job, an unhappy relationship, or financial stresses must be the focus of attention in addition to psychotherapy. Because change can be hard, people sometimes find it easier to bear their present problems than to challenge themselves to chart a different life course. Therapy also takes time. Even a highly skilled and experienced therapist cannot undo a person’s entire past history and, within a short time, prepare him or her to cope adequately with difficult life situations. Therapy offers no magical transformations. Nevertheless, it holds promise even for the most severe mental disorders. Moreover, contrary to common opinion, psychotherapy can be less expensive in the long run than alternative modes of intervention (Dobson et al., 2008; Gabbard et al., 1997). Numerous therapeutic approaches exist, ranging from psychoanalysis to Zen meditation. However, the era of managed care has prompted new and increasingly stringent demands that the efficacy of treatments be empirically demonstrated. This chapter will explore some of the most widely accepted psychological and biological treatment approaches in use today. Although we recognize that different groups of mental health professionals often have their own preferences with respect to the use of the terms client and patient, in this chapter we use ...
House of New Hope is a statewide Christian nonprofit providing behavioral health services in Ohio since 1992. It utilizes a recovery-based treatment philosophy that views mental health conditions as disabilities that can be managed, rather than illnesses to be cured. The provider acts as a partner rather than director, focusing on strengths rather than just symptoms, and assisting clients in managing their conditions long-term through empowerment and community reintegration. Language and approach emphasize clients' abilities rather than limitations.

Specific health concerns for those with mental illness are also addressed.
Addiction: A Pathology of Motivation and the Role of Motivational Interviewin...iretablog
This document provides an overview of motivational interviewing (MI) as an effective technique for behavior change, especially for substance abuse. It describes the transtheoretical model of change and the four stages people progress through when considering behavior change. The core principles of MI are explained, including expressing empathy, supporting self-efficacy, rolling with resistance, and developing discrepancy. MI aims to increase change talk and readiness to change through open-ended questions, affirmations, and reflections. It can be effectively used by primary care physicians to enhance treatment engagement for substance abuse issues.
I understand this is difficult to discuss. Let's take a step back - my role is not to judge but to understand your perspective and support you in making choices that align with your values and priorities. Perhaps we could explore how drinking fits into your life goals and what matters most to you.
This document provides an overview of several common health behavior models:
- The Health Belief Model focuses on perceptions of susceptibility, severity, benefits and barriers to taking health actions. It has been widely used to study preventive health behaviors.
- The Trans-Theoretical Model proposes that individuals progress through stages of change when adopting healthy behaviors. The stages are precontemplation, contemplation, preparation, action, and maintenance. Processes of change and decisional balance are also discussed.
- Applications of these models to oral health are mentioned, such as using stages of change for tobacco cessation counseling. While useful, more research is still needed on using these frameworks to predict oral health behavior change.
This document provides an overview of several common health behavior models, including the Health Belief Model and Trans-Theoretical Model. It discusses key concepts and constructs of each model, such as perceived susceptibility, severity, benefits and barriers. The Health Belief Model focuses on attitudes and beliefs that influence behaviors. The Trans-Theoretical Model examines an individual's readiness to change behaviors through different stages. Both aim to help understand health behaviors and design effective interventions.
This document provides an orientation for behavioral health services at House of New Hope. It discusses the organization's mission to help people through faith-based and professional services. It introduces the clinical leadership team and describes the treatment philosophy as focusing on strengths, empowering individuals in their recovery, and using a collaborative approach between providers and those seeking help. The document contrasts this philosophy with a traditional medical model and discusses how language and documentation have shifted to better reflect recovery-oriented care.
THIS CHAPTER DISCUSSES
•The empirical evidence supporting a strengths-based approach
•Specific practice guidelines for recruiting client resources to promote change
•The link between pluralistic counselling and a focus on client strengths
This document discusses holistic treatment for substance abuse. It provides an overview of the history and models of addiction treatment, including the moral, disease, and multi-causal models. Holistic treatment aims to address addiction in all aspects of a person's life through counseling, education, medical care, and lifestyle changes. The Veterans Administration uses holistic treatment including tai chi, yoga, and art/music therapy. Research on holistic treatment models like those used by the VA could help expand treatment options for co-occurring disorders.
The document discusses several theories of behavior change that can be applied to improve health behaviors. It summarizes the Health Belief Model, which focuses on perceptions of susceptibility, severity, benefits and barriers. It also describes the Stages of Change Model and Transtheoretical Model, which view behavior change as a process through stages. Motivational Interviewing is explained as a technique to activate a patient's own motivation for change through collaboration, evocation and autonomy.

Theme one is to identify the types of cultures or models of cultures and how they work or fit within an organization
Learning Activity #1
Using your reading material create a chart that describes the type, characteristics of the culture, associated values that would be important to keep the culture alive, and kinds of organizations structures that work best for culture. Compare and contrast them in your explanation of the chart. For instance what culture might work for Joe at the new sawmill and then which one might work at Purvis' shoe company.
Theme two: How to Create, Change, and Align Culture to the Structure and Vision.
Organizational Structure
Preface:
A leader’s job is to create the direction for the company to move forward. The leader does this in steps. Here are the steps of the process:
First, the leader designs the vision and mission for the company and second, the leader must establish an organizational structure which promotes the vision, mission and empowers the employees to keep the forward movement in the organization.
In creating the structure various factors must be considered.
· First and foremost is the purpose of the company or organization. What type of structure will best accomplish that goal? Certainly a company like UPS needs a somewhat rigid structure that is set up to focus on procedure and time sensitivity. Since UPS has as its goal to get the correct parcels to the right customers in the fastest way possible, variance in procedures or ways of accomplishing the tasks would never work. A tight delineated structure is imperative.
· Along with the purpose the leader must look at the vision of the organization. Where does the leader want the organization to go? How best can the structure provide for the future? Will the vision call for expansion into other countries or simply call for product development changes? Do you plan a struct ...

Name 1 Should Transportation Security Officers Be A.docxgilpinleeanna

Should Transportation Security Officers Be Armed?
It is the opinion of this writer that Transportation Security Officers (TSOs) should not be
armed. It is my intent to illustrate that point in this paper. During my research I will weigh the
advantages and disadvantages of arming TSOs, examining each side of the argument. I will also
offer a potential solution that while costly will still prove to be less costly than arming TSOs.
What has led to this discussion? For a majority of our society it takes years and certain
events to take place in our lives for change to occur. Those events include graduating High
School/College, getting married, or having children. In a matter of only five short minutes on
the morning of November 1st, 2013, some individual’s lives changed forever. On that morning
Paul Anthony Ciancia, age 23, opened fire in Terminal 3 of the Los Angeles International
Airport (LAX). His senseless acts killed a TSO, while injuring six other individuals. The
shooting has been debated over and over again on whether it is a terrorist act or not. The
activities before, during, and after the shooting will show the acts were certainly a terrorist
attack. But more importantly could any deaths or injuries have been avoided if the TSOs were
armed? These is the question that will continue to be debated and one that will be addressed in
this paper.
Synopsis of the event that led up to this argument:
Shortly after being dropped off at the airport by his roommate, Paul Ciancia pulled out a
rifle and began opening fire. He was carrying luggage that was filled with a semiautomatic .223
caliber Smith & Wesson M&P-15 rifle, five 30-round magazines, and hundreds of additional
rounds of ammunition ("Lax shooting suspect," 2013). Walking up to the TSA checkpoint,
Ciancia pulled out a rifle and opened fire hitting TSO Gerardo Hernandez in the chest. Ciancia

then apparently moved into the screening area where he continued to fire striking two other
TSOs and a male citizen. According to eye witnesses, Ciancia continually asked civilians if they
were TSA officers, when they said “no” he moved on without shooting them ("Lax shooting:
Latest," 2013). Ciancia made it as far as the food court some five minutes after the first shots
were fired. He was then surrounded by LAX police officers who engaged him in a gunfight.
Shortly after the gunfight ended Ciancia was taken into custody where he had to be transported
to a nearby trauma hospital for gunshot wounds (Abdollah, 2013).
In total eight individuals had to be treated at the scene. Four victims were treated for
gunshot wounds, while the others were treated for other injuries ("6 hospitalized after," 2013).
The sole suspect Paul Ciancia was carrying a note on him that stated he “wanted to kill TSA”
and describe them as “pigs”, the note also mentioned “fiat currency” and “NWO” ("Lax shooting

"Uncle Vanya"
“Man has been endowed with reason,
with the power to create, so that he can add to what he's been given.
But up to now, he hasn't been a creator, only a destroyer.
Forests keep disappearing, rivers dry up,
wild life's become extinct, the climate's ruined,
and the land grows poorer and uglier”
The play “Uncle Vanya” written by Anton Chekhov is a pearl of the classics of Russian literature. Anton Chekhov left a great legacy in a form of his plays and short stories for the classics of world literature. Without a shadow of doubt, this masterpiece, written by one of the most prominent the Russian playwrights of his time, should be read with further analysis and discussion. “Uncle Vanya” is a realist play and Chekhov tried to make its scenes as true-to-life as possible. Chekhov spent one year writing “Uncle Vanya” and introduced a number of changes between the years 1896 – 1897. The final version of his play is famous worldwide. The plot of the play narrates a heartbreaking story of how the main hero, Ivan Petrovich Voynitsky or Uncle Vanya that was a rather calm and quiet man undergoes a moral “rebirth” developing a spirit of a rebellion. Uncle Vanya, the main hero of the play, can be characterized as a bitter aging man who spent his life in toil working for his brother-in-law. Chekhov depicted the character of uncle Vanya as a misanthrope who recognized the miserable nature of other characters.
Moreover, Chekhov’s play also involves a number of other important issues that are experienced by the play’s characters. These issues include the feeling of pointless life lacking meaning, missed opportunities, and the most touching feeling of blind admiration. It should be admitted that Chekhov used to create hidden meaning in his plays to make the readers think critically not only of his work but of their lives either. Therefore, in the play, Chekhov made every character individualistic. For instance, the central character in the play, Uncle Vanya, cares about patrimony and the Serebryakov’s family’s property. Throughout the play, uncle Vanya finds himself dismissed and rejected without the right for an opinion. Chekhov also pointed out the suffering of other characters who struggle to change their lives for better. The play consists of a number of personal dramas that are interconnected.
It can be stated that Chekhov included a number of opposite lines in his play such as the choice between obedience or riot, feeling of admiration and disrespect. The following lines from the play demonstrate the feeling of disappointment and understanding the pointlessness of a situation: “”I’m mad — but people who conceal their utter lack of talent, their dullness, their complete heartlessness under the guise of the professor, the purveyor of learned magic — they aren’t mad” (Uncle Vanya). Uncle Vanya is concerned about the wasted years and the thought of how his life could look like in case he used the opportun ...

Overview: Financial Management Case Study
One of the important duties of a nurse leader is to manage personnel and personnel budgets. In this assignment, you will assume the role of a nurse manager. You will use given data to make important decisions regarding budgets and staffing.
Some nurse managers have computer spreadsheets or software applications to help them make decisions regarding budgets and staffing. You will only need simple mathematical operations* to perform the needed calculations in this assignment because the scenario has been simplified. Furthermore, some data have been provided for you that a nurse leader might need to gather or compute in a real setting. Still, you will get a glimpse of the complexity of responsibilities nurse leaders shoulder regarding financial management.
· To calculate the percent of the whole a given number represents, follow these steps:
Change the percentage to a decimal number by moving the decimal twice to the left (or dividing by 100).
Multiply the new decimal number by the whole.
Example: What is 30% of 70?
30%= .30; (.30) × 70 = 21
· To find out what percentage a number represents in relation to the whole, follow these steps:
Divide the number by the whole (usually the small number by the large number).
Change the decimal answer to percent by moving the decimal twice to the right (or multiplying by 100).
Example: What percent of 45 is 10?
10 ÷ 45 = .222; so, 10 is 22% of 45.
* You will only need addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division.

Habitable Zones – Student Guide
Exercises
Please read through the background pages entitled Life, Circumstellar Habitable Zones, and The Galactic Habitable Zone before working on the exercises using simulations below.
Circumstellar Zones
Open the Circumstellar Zone Simulator. There are four main panels:
· The top panel simulation displays a visualization of a star and its planets looking down onto the plane of the solar system. The habitable zone is displayed for the particular star being simulated. One can click and drag either toward the star or away from it to change the scale being displayed.
· The General Settings panel provides two options for creating standards of reference in the top panel.
· The Star and Planets Setting and Properties panel allows one to display our own star system, several known star systems, or create your own star-planet combinations in the none-selected mode.
· The Timeline and Simulation Controls allows one to demonstrate the time evolution of the star system being displayed.
The simulation begins with our Sun being displayed as it was when it formed and a terrestrial planet at the position of Earth. One can change the planet’s distance from the Sun either by dragging it or using the planet distance slider.
Note that the appearance of the planet changes depending upon its location. It appears quite earth-like when inside the circumstellar habitable zone (hereafter CHZ). However, when it is dragged inside of the CHZ it becomes “desert-like” while outside it appears “frozen”.
Question 1: Drag the planet to the inner boundary of the CHZ and note this distance from the Sun. Then drag it to the outer boundary and note this value. Lastly, take the difference of these two figures to calculate the “width” of the sun’s primordial CHZ.

Question 4: Using the table above, what general conclusion can be made regarding the width of the CHZ for different types of stars?
Exploring Other Systems
Begin by selecting the system 51 Pegasi. This was the first planet discovered around a star using the radial velocity technique. This technique detects systematic shifts in the wavelengths of absorption lines in the star’s spectra over time due to the motion of the star around the star-planet center of mass. The planet orbiting 51 Pegasi has a mass of at least half Jupiter’s mass.

Hygiene Saves Lives
I. Intro: To give an informational speech about Ignaz Philipp Semmelweis
A) Attention getter – On each square centimeter of your skin, there are about 1,500
bacteria. That’s a lot of germs. According to a study conducted by Michigan State
University researchers, 95% of people do not properly wash their hands long enough to
kill the infection causing germs and bacteria (Jaslow, “95 Percent of People Wash Their
Hands Improperly: Are You One of Them?”).
B) Purpose Statement - That’s gross. While I can’t force you to wash your hands, perhaps
today I can help you realize just how much history and evidence is behind this crucial
bathroom ritual.
C) Thesis – Today, I will inform you all about Ignaz Philipp Semmelweis by discussing first
about his practice and studies, second about his scientific methods that saved a lot of
lives, and third about the germ theory we all take for granted.
II. BODY:
A) Main Point Number 1: To begin, I want to introduce Ignaz Philipp Semmelweis.
a) Ignaz Semmelweis became a physician and earned his doctorate degree in medicine
in 1844. This time period was known as the start of the golden age of the physician
scientist” (NPR.org). This means that doctors were expected to have scientific
training. Doctors were more interested in numbers and collecting data (Justin Lessler,
an assistant professor at Johns Hopkins School of Public Health).
b) In 1846, Dr. Semmelweis showed up for his new job in the maternity clinic at the
General Hospital in Vienna. Due to the time period, Dr. Semmelweis thought like a
physician scientist and wanted to figure out why so many women in maternity wards
were dying from childbed fever (Davis, “The Doctor Who Championed
Hand-Washing and Briefly Saved Lives”).
c) So what did he do? He collected data of his own. He studied two maternity wards in
the hospital. One was staffed by all male doctors and medical students, and the other
by female midwives. He tallied up the number of deaths in each ward and found that
women in the clinic staffed by doctors and medical students died at a rate 5 times ...

The document discusses the case of Terri Schiavo, who was in a persistent vegetative state for 15 years. It summarizes the key facts of her medical condition and diagnosis, the disagreement between her husband and parents about continuing life-sustaining treatment, and the multiple legal appeals involved in the case. It concludes that while both sides wanted what was right for Terri, the central issue is determining what the patient herself would have wanted, which the courts found clear evidence for in Terri's case based on prior statements to her husband.

This document summarizes a proposed change by a Little League commission to eliminate scoring in games. The commission believes this will reduce stress in children, but the summary argues that:
1) There is no evidence scoring causes stress, and children face stress from many sources unrelated to baseball.
2) Removing scoring upends decades of tradition and takes away important lessons about effort and reward for children.
3) Parents will likely oppose the change as it diminishes their experiences supporting and bonding with their children over the game.

LAND USE LAND COVER AND NDVI OF MIRZAPUR DISTRICT, UPRAHUL
This Dissertation explores the particular circumstances of Mirzapur, a region located in the
core of India. Mirzapur, with its varied terrains and abundant biodiversity, offers an optimal
environment for investigating the changes in vegetation cover dynamics. Our study utilizes
advanced technologies such as GIS (Geographic Information Systems) and Remote sensing to
analyze the transformations that have taken place over the course of a decade.
The complex relationship between human activities and the environment has been the focus
of extensive research and worry. As the global community grapples with swift urbanization,
population expansion, and economic progress, the effects on natural ecosystems are becoming
more evident. A crucial element of this impact is the alteration of vegetation cover, which plays a
significant role in maintaining the ecological equilibrium of our planet.Land serves as the foundation for all human activities and provides the necessary materials for
these activities. As the most crucial natural resource, its utilization by humans results in different
'Land uses,' which are determined by both human activities and the physical characteristics of the
land.
The utilization of land is impacted by human needs and environmental factors. In countries
like India, rapid population growth and the emphasis on extensive resource exploitation can lead
to significant land degradation, adversely affecting the region's land cover.
Therefore, human intervention has significantly influenced land use patterns over many
centuries, evolving its structure over time and space. In the present era, these changes have
accelerated due to factors such as agriculture and urbanization. Information regarding land use and
cover is essential for various planning and management tasks related to the Earth's surface,
providing crucial environmental data for scientific, resource management, policy purposes, and
diverse human activities.
Accurate understanding of land use and cover is imperative for the development planning
of any area. Consequently, a wide range of professionals, including earth system scientists, land
and water managers, and urban planners, are interested in obtaining data on land use and cover
changes, conversion trends, and other related patterns. The spatial dimensions of land use and
cover support policymakers and scientists in making well-informed decisions, as alterations in
these patterns indicate shifts in economic and social conditions. Monitoring such changes with the
help of Advanced technologies like Remote Sensing and Geographic Information Systems is
crucial for coordinated efforts across different administrative levels. Advanced technologies like
Remote Sensing and Geographic Information Systems

Changes in vegetation cover refer to variations in the distribution, composition, and overall
structure of plant communities across different temporal and spatial scales. These changes can

This document provides an overview of wound healing, its functions, stages, mechanisms, factors affecting it, and complications.
A wound is a break in the integrity of the skin or tissues, which may be associated with disruption of the structure and function.
Healing is the body’s response to injury in an attempt to restore normal structure and functions.
Healing can occur in two ways: Regeneration and Repair
There are 4 phases of wound healing: hemostasis, inflammation, proliferation, and remodeling. This document also describes the mechanism of wound healing. Factors that affect healing include infection, uncontrolled diabetes, poor nutrition, age, anemia, the presence of foreign bodies, etc.
Complications of wound healing like infection, hyperpigmentation of scar, contractures, and keloid formation.

Motivational interviewing (MI), initially developed for
addiction counseling, has increasingly been
applied in public health, medical, and health promotion settings.
This article provides an overview of MI,
outlining its philosophic orientation and essential strategies.
Major outcome studies are reviewed,
nuances associated with the use of MI in health promotion and
chronic disease prevention are described,
and future directions are offered.
Key words: motivational interviewing, health promotion,
counseling, behavioral medicine,
health psychology, public health
Motivational interviewing (MI), originally described by Miller
in 1983 and more fully discussed in a seminal text by Miller and
Rollnick in 1991, has been used extensively in the addiction
field
2. (Dunn, Deroo, & Rivara, 2001; Noonan & Moyers, 1997). There
has been considerable recent interest on the part of public
health,
health psychology, and medical professionals in adapting MI to
address other health behaviors and conditions, such as smoking,
diet, physical activity, screening, sexual behavior, diabetes
control,
and medical adherence (Emmons & Rollnick, 2001; Resnicow,
DiIorio, et al., 2002).
This article provides an overview of MI, describing its philo-
sophic orientation and essential strategies, with an emphasis on
application to health promotion and chronic disease prevention.
Major outcome studies in which MI has been used in the context
of health promotion and behavioral medicine are reviewed. Nu-
ances that distinguish its use for changing chronic disease and
nonaddictive behaviors are addressed, and future directions are
offered.
MI Overview
MI is neither a discrete nor entirely new intervention paradigm
but an amalgam of principles and techniques drawn from
existing
models of psychotherapy and behavior change theory. MI can be
thought of as an egalitarian interpersonal orientation, a client-
centered counseling style that manifests through specific tech-
niques and strategies. A key goal of MI is to assist individuals
to
work through their ambivalence about behavior change, and it
appears to be particularly effective for individuals who are
initially
low in terms of readiness to change (Butler et al., 1999;
Heather,
Rollnick, Bell, & Richmond, 1996; Miller & Rollnick, 1991;
Resnicow, Jackson, Wang, Dudley, & Baranowski, 2001;
3. Rollnick
& Miller, 1995).
The tone of the MI encounter is nonjudgmental, empathetic, and
encouraging. Counselors establish a nonconfrontational and
sup-
portive climate in which clients feel comfortable expressing
both
the positive and negative aspects of their current behavior.
Unlike
some psychotherapeutic models that rely heavily on therapist
insight or traditional patient education that entails providing
infor-
mation, in MI, the client is expected to do much of the psycho-
logical work, guided by the counselor. Clients are encouraged to
talk as much as or more than counselors. There is generally no
direct attempt to dismantle denial, confront irrational or
maladap-
tive beliefs, or convince or persuade. Instead, the goal is to help
clients think about and verbally express their own reasons for
and
against change, how their current health behavior may conflict
with their health goals, and how their current behavior or health
status affects their ability to achieve their life goals or live out
their
core values. To achieve these ends, MI counselors rely heavily
on
reflective listening and positive affirmations rather than on
direct
questioning, persuasion, or advice giving. Using a neutral yet
inquisitive tone, counselors address discrepancies in client

edge, beliefs, or behaviors without instilling defensiveness or
attempting refutation. An important element in learning MI is
suppressing the instinct to respond with questions or advice.
MI counselors defer from providing information or advice until
clients have first presented their own understanding of the
situation
5. or their own suggestions for overcoming obstacles to change.
Ideally, it is the client rather than the counselor who makes the
argument for change and describes the course of action. In the
patient education paradigm, health practitioners often provide
in-
formation about the risks of continuing a behavior or the
benefits
of change with the intent of persuasion. Within MI, information
is
presented in a more neutral manner, and the client is asked to do
the work of interpretation. MI practitioners avoid giving “predi-
gested” health messages and instead allow clients to process in-
formation, find their own personal relevance, evaluate their own
risks and rewards, and convince themselves that change may be
warranted. Whereas the essence of MI resides in its spirit, there
are
specific techniques and strategies that, when used effectively,
help
ensure that such spirit is evoked. Core MI techniques include
the
use of reflective listening, rolling with resistance, agenda
setting,
and eliciting self-motivational statements and change talk.
Reflective Listening
The goals of reflecting back to the client include demonstrating
empathy, affirming client thoughts and feelings, and helping the
client continue through the self-discovery process. Reflections
involve several levels of complexity or depth, ranging from un-
derstanding content to exploring meaning and feeling (Carkhuff,
1993).
Rolling With Resistance
Confronting clients often results in defensiveness and ultimately
6. poor therapeutic outcomes (Miller, 1983). MI counselors, there-
fore, avoid argumentation by “rolling with resistance” rather
than
contesting it. The MI encounter resembles a dance more than a
wrestling match (Rollnick, Mason, & Butler, 1999).
Agenda Setting and Asking Permission
Clients are asked to help set the agenda for the encounter to
ensure that they are active and willing participants in the
process.
This may include deciding what behavior(s) to talk about and
what
goals they have for the session (or the intervention in general).
Self-Motivational Statements: Eliciting Change Talk
A core strategy of MI is eliciting self-motivational statements
or
change talk, according to the principles that individuals are
more
likely to accept and act on that which they voice and that the
more
they defend a position, the greater their commitment to it
becomes
(Bem, 1972). To elicit change talk, many MI practitioners use a
strategy originally developed (Rollnick, Butler, & Stott, 1997)
for
a brief smoking cessation intervention delivered by physicians
(Butler et al., 1999). This technique begins with two questions.
First, clients are asked to rate, on a scale of 0 to 10 (with 10
being
the highest), how motivated–interested they are in making the
behavior change (e.g., increasing their fruit and vegetable
intake or
increasing their physical activity). Second, they are asked to
7. rate,
again on a scale of 0 to 10, how confident they are that they can
make the change assuming that they wanted to do so. The first
question focuses on desire to change, whereas the second taps
efficacy for change (Rollnick et al., 1997). Alternatively, the
first
question may focus on the importance of change rather than on
motivation or interest. Using the client’s numeric response, the
counselor asks two probes: (a) “Why did you not choose a lower
number, like a 1 or 2?” and (b) “What would it take to get you
to
a higher number?”
A related strategy is to help clients establish discrepancies
between their current behavior and their personal core values or
life goals. Clients are asked to choose from a list the values that
are
most important to them. The counselor then inquires to see
whether clients can make any connection between their current
health behavior (or changing the behavior) and their ability to
achieve these goals or live out these values.
Convergence and Divergence With Other Theoretical
Models
MI is rooted in Rogers’s person-centered approach to psycho-
therapy. Similar to Rogerian therapy, MI counselors use
reflective
listening to express understanding of the client’s feelings and
experience, and considerable effort is placed on understanding
the
client’s subjective reality. Although both MI and Rogerian
therapy
accept that change is ultimately up to the client, MI can be more
directive and goal oriented (Rollnick & Miller, 1995). For
8. exam-
ple, when MI is applied in health promotion and public health
settings, there may be desired outcomes for clients to modify
behavior in a specific direction (e.g., quitting smoking or
decreas-
ing fat intake). Whereas in Rogerian psychotherapy a goal may
be
to help the client accept and integrate incongruent behaviors or
socially unacceptable attributes, in MI greater emphasis is
placed
on resolving these discrepancies and building motivation for
change (Patterson, 1986). The MI counselor operates from the
assumption that some individuals are not ready to change, and
the
goal for such clients may simply be to allow them to express
their
ambivalence or disinterest in change, plant the seeds of discrep-
ancy, and leave the door open for future intervention.
Although prima facie MI is similar to the transtheoretical model
(TTM), in that both models emphasize the need to match inter-
ventions to the client’s readiness and pros and cons for
changing
behavior and MI intervention protocols often incorporate some
elements of “staging,” there are subtle differences. Many TTM-
based interventions function from the assumption that a
person’s
stage is a somewhat stable phenomenon, at least in terms of
hours
and days if not weeks. Clients receive prewritten messages
tailored
to their stage and subjective pros and cons for change (Aveyard
et
al., 1999; Campbell et al., 1999; King et al., 1998; Marcus &
Simkin, 1994; Velicer, Norman, Fava, & Prochaska, 1999; Zim-
merman, Olsen, & Bosworth, 2000). Intervention messages are
9. largely yoked to an individual’s most recent stage
classification.
MI, on the other hand, assumes greater fluidity of stage. Within
an
MI encounter, readiness may fluctuate (in either direction)
within
a matter of minutes. An individual may begin as a
precontemplator
but, by working through his or her ambivalence, soon progress
to
the contemplation or preparation stage.
The distinction between MI and TTM is in part due to pragmat-
ics, in that MI is generally provided as a “real-time,” face-to-
face
445MOTIVATIONAL INTERVIEWING IN HEALTH
PROMOTION
(or telephone) intervention, whereas most TTM interventions
have
been delivered through audiovisual modalities, without direct or
immediate interpersonal interaction. This allows MI to assume a
more fluid conceptualization of stage. In this sense, MI can be
considered a “real-time” application of TTM-based counseling.
Finally, whereas many TTM-based messages (as well as health
communication and social marketing campaigns) are designed to
persuade, within MI, such direct appeals are largely
discouraged.
Instead, the goal is to help clients write their own
“advertisement
for change.”
MI can also be distinguished from cognitive behavior therapy
10. (CBT). CBT often involves the counselor confronting a client’s
irrational or maladaptive beliefs. MI, on the other hand, rarely
involves direct confrontation of beliefs on the part of the coun-
selor. However, the MI counselor may use reflective listening to
clarify such beliefs and to “softly confront” how they influence
current behaviors, as well as how these beliefs and actions may
affect clients’ ability to achieve happiness and their broader life
goals. In effect, clients are guided to confront their own
inconsis-
tencies in thought and action. If, through this process, a client
expresses an interest in learning a CBT strategy such as thought
stopping or imagery, the MI counselor may work with the client
to
learn such techniques.
With regard to behavior therapy, MI is inherently neither con-
vergent nor divergent. When ambivalence has been resolved and
there is expressed readiness to change, behavioral strategies
such
as self-monitoring, goal setting, shaping, and reinforcement can
be
incorporated in an MI-consistent manner (e.g., with the client’s
permission and, ideally, client initiated).
Review of Outcome Studies
The efficacy of MI in the treatment of substance use and other
problem behaviors has been examined in numerous studies
(Anon-
ymous, 1997; Burke, Arkowitz, & Dunn, 2002; Dunn et al.,
2001;
Miller & Rollnick, 1991; Noonan & Moyers, 1997). An
emerging
literature on the impact of MI in modifying chronic disease be-
haviors is reviewed in the sections to follow.
11. Diet and Physical Activity
We identified six studies in which MI was used to modify diet
and physical activity behaviors. These studies included four
sec-
ondary prevention trials (Berg-Smith et al., 1999; Mhurchu,
Mar-
getts, & Speller, 1998; Smith, Heckemeyer, Kratt, & Mason,
1997;
Woollard et al., 1995) and two primary prevention trials
(Harland
et al., 1999; Resnicow et al., 2000, 2001).
The first of the secondary prevention trials was a pilot study
conducted by Smith et al. (1997). Twenty-two overweight
women
(41% African American) with non-insulin-dependent diabetes
mellitus were randomized to receive a 16-week group
behavioral
weight control intervention or the same intervention with the
addition of three individual MI sessions. The MI intervention,
delivered by experienced psychologists, involved one session
be-
fore the group treatment began and two at midtreatment, and it
included individualized feedback on glycemic control. At the
4-month posttest, among the 16 women for whom follow-up
data
were available, those in the MI group showed significantly
better
glycemic control than those in the standard intervention group,
and
they were more likely to monitor their blood glucose. The MI
group also showed significantly higher session attendance.
Mhurchu et al. (1998) randomized 121 patients (97 available at
12. posttest) with hyperlipidemia to either MI-based counseling or a
standard dietary intervention delivered by a dietitian. At 3-
month
follow-up, both groups showed significant improvements in di-
etary habits and body mass index. However, there were no
signif-
icant between-groups differences in any of the main outcomes.
As
the authors suggested, the efficacy of MI may have been
limited,
because 80% of the sample was already making some dietary
changes at baseline and thus may have been better suited for a
more behavioral intervention.
Woollard et al. (1995) randomized 166 hypertensive patients in
general medical practices to receive either “high” MI,
consisting of
six 45-min sessions every fourth week, or “low” MI, which
com-
prised a single face-to-face session along with five brief
telephone
sessions. The MI was delivered by nurse counselors. Both
groups
received their usual general practitioner care in addition to an
educational manual. A control group was also included that con-
sisted only of the usual general practitioner care. At 18-week
follow-up, there were no significant differences between the
two
MI groups. However, both groups had better outcomes than con-
trols. The “high” MI group showed a significant reduction in
both
weight and blood pressure relative to controls, whereas the
“low”
MI group significantly decreased its alcohol and salt intake
relative
to controls. Physical activity and smoking were not significantly
13. altered in any group. A limitation of this study is that the actual
dose and quality of MI provided are unclear.
In the Dietary Intervention Study in Children, children initially
8 –10 years of age with elevated low-density lipoprotein choles-
terol received 3 years of dietary intervention (Berg-Smith et al.,
1999). As the cohort moved into adolescence, the investigators
elected to add an MI-based intervention to “renew” adherence to
the prescribed diet among the original intervention group (there
was no control group in this phase). The counselors were
primarily
master’s-level health educators and dietitians who received 18
hr
of training. There was one in-person session and one follow-up
session either in person or by telephone. Data from the first 127
youths to complete the two-session protocol indicated that the
proportion of calories from fat and dietary cholesterol
significantly
decreased at 3-month follow-up, and overall adherence scores
improved. Adolescents’ satisfaction with the MI intervention
was
high (Berg-Smith et al., 1999).
With regard to primary prevention, Harland et al. (1999) re-
cruited 523 general medical practice patients to evaluate the
effi-
cacy of MI in promoting physical activity. The sample consisted
of
sedentary but otherwise healthy lower income adults 40 – 64
years
of age. The study included four intervention groups. Two
groups
received a single 40-min MI session, and two received six 40-
min
MI sessions delivered over 12 weeks. Approximately half of the
participants in the MI groups also received vouchers for free
14. aerobics classes. In addition, there was a control group that re-
ceived neither the MI nor vouchers. Physical activity was
assessed
through questionnaires completed at 12-week and 1-year follow-
ups. At the 12-week follow-up, there was a significant improve-
ment in activity in the four aggregate intervention groups
relative
to the controls (38% improved vs. 16%) but no significant
differ-
ences between the “high” and “low” MI groups. At the 1-year
follow-up, there were no significant differences in physical
activity
446 RESNICOW ET AL.
between the intervention groups, either combined or separately,
and the control group. This was due both to a decay of effects in
the intervention group and to a slight improvement among the
control group. A limitation of this study is that the median
number
of MI sessions attended by those in the “high” group was only
three of a possible six.
Resnicow et al. (2000, 2001) recently completed the Eat for
Life
Trial, a multicomponent intervention designed to increase fruit
and
vegetable consumption among African American adults
recruited
through Black churches. Fourteen churches were randomly as-
signed to three treatment conditions: (a) comparison, (b)
culturally
tailored self-help intervention with one telephone cue, and (c)
self-help intervention, one cue call, and three MI counseling
15. calls.
Cue calls were intended to increase use of the self-help
interven-
tion materials and were not structured as MI contacts.
MI counselors, who were either registered dietitians or dietetic
interns, participated in three 2-hr training sessions conducted by
Ken Resnicow, and they were observed performing at least two
phone counseling encounters before being certified. The
primary
outcome, examined at baseline and a 1-year follow-up, was fruit
and vegetable intake, assessed by food frequency questionnaires
(Resnicow et al., 2001). Change in fruit and vegetable intake
was
significantly greater in the MI group than in the comparison and
self-help groups. The net difference between the MI and
compar-
ison groups was approximately 1.1 servings of fruits and
vegeta-
bles per day, whereas the net difference between the MI and
self-help groups was approximately 1.0 serving.
Smoking Cessation
Several published studies have involved the use of MI for
smoking cessation, mostly in clinical settings (Butler et al.,
1999;
Colby et al., 1998; Ershoff et al., 1999; Glasgow, Whitlock,
Eakin,
& Lichtstein, 2000; Lando et al., 2001; Rollnick et al., 1997;
Rollnick, Heather, & Bell, 1992; Schubiner, Herrold, & Hurt,
1998; Valanis et al., in press; Velasquez et al., 2000). Glasgow
et
al. (2000) evaluated a brief MI-based intervention versus advice
to
quit among 1,154 women attending planned parenthood clinics.
16. Clinic staff delivered the MI intervention (in person and
telephone
follow-up), discussed a motivational video, and developed
person-
alized strategies with patients based on their readiness to quit.
Intent to treat analyses indicated that the intervention group
achieved significantly higher 7-day abstinence rates at 6 weeks
(10.2% vs. 6.9%) but not 6 months posttreatment. At both 6
weeks
and 6 months, continued smokers in the MI group showed a
significant reduction in number of cigarettes smoked.
Limitations
of this study include the relatively brief training in MI,
insufficient
data regarding counselor competence, and the low rate of
comple-
tion for the telephone follow-up calls (43%).
Two other studies evaluated the effectiveness of MI in prenatal
clinic settings (Ershoff et al., 1999; Valanis et al., 2001).
Ershoff
et al. (1999) did not find a treatment effect for MI on smoking
cessation, but Valanis et al. (2001) found significant effects on
self-reported quit rates both during pregnancy (29% vs. 39%)
and 6 to 12 months after delivery (15% vs. 18%).
In another study, 536 smokers from 21 medical practices were
randomized to receive either MI or brief advice to quit smoking
from their general practitioner (Butler et al., 1999; Rollnick et
al.,
1997). Both interventions were delivered in a single session. At
6-month follow-up, significantly more participants in the MI
group
than controls reported quitting in the previous 24 hr (8% and
3%,
17. respectively). Although there were no significant differences in
self-reported 30-day abstinence between groups, there was a
trend
favoring MI counseling (quit rates of 1.5% in the brief advice
group and 3% in the MI group). There was also a positive effect
in
the MI (vs. brief advice) group in terms of percentage making a
quit attempt (18.8% vs. 11.4%). Of note, the differences
between
the MI and brief advice groups were generally larger among
those
in the precontemplation stage as opposed to later stages of
change.
Because practitioners were trained in both interventions, the au-
thors concluded that the effects of MI may have been underesti-
mated owing to inclusion of motivational elements while
deliver-
ing brief advice.
MI has also been used among adolescent smokers (Colby et al.,
1998; Lawendowski, 1998; Schubiner et al., 1998). Colby et al.
(1998) compared MI with brief advice among 40 adolescent
smok-
ers (38 available at 3-month posttest) recruited in a single
hospital
while they were seeking care for conditions generally unrelated
to
smoking. Participants in the MI group viewed four videotaped
vignettes aimed at stimulating discussion. At follow-up, 20%
reported 7-day abstinence in the MI group versus 10% in the
brief
advice group. In the MI group, 72% made a quit attempt, as
compared with 60% in the advice group. These differences, in
part
due to the small sample size, were not statistically significant,
however.
18. Medical Adherence
Kemp and colleagues tested the use of an MI-based intervention
to promote medication adherence among people with psychosis
(Hayward, Chan, Kemp, & Youle, 1995; Kemp, Hayward,
Apple-
whaite, Everitt, & David, 1996; Kemp, Kirov, Hayward, &
David,
1998). In a pilot study, they tested an MI-based approach
designed
to encourage medication adherence among patients prescribed
neuroleptic drugs. Twenty-one patients diagnosed with schizo-
phrenia or affective disorders were randomly assigned to MI-
based
compliance therapy or nondirective discussion. One trained
ther-
apist conducted both interventions, meeting with each patient
for
two or three 30-min sessions. Although there were no
differences
between the treatment and control groups in terms of attitudes
toward medication, insight, or compliance, the changes in the
MI
group were in the expected direction. In a second study, psychi-
atric patients were randomly assigned to receive either MI-
based
compliance therapy or supportive counseling (Kemp et al.,
1996).
Each group received four to six MI sessions from a psychiatrist
or
clinical psychologist. Participants receiving MI showed signifi-
cantly greater improvements in attitudes toward drug treatment,
greater insight into their illness, and greater medical compliance
than participants in the supportive counseling group at 6-month
follow-up. In a subsequent study, participants who received four
19. to
six MI sessions demonstrated significantly greater insight, more
positive attitudes toward treatment, and greater observer-rated
compliance than participants receiving nonspecific counseling.
These changes were retained over an 18-month follow-up period
(Kemp et al., 1998).
447MOTIVATIONAL INTERVIEWING IN HEALTH
PROMOTION
HIV-Risk Behaviors
Carey et al. (1997) randomly assigned 102 women considered at
risk for HIV infection to an MI-based treatment or wait-list
control
group. The MI participants met in groups of 8 –13 for four 90-
min
sessions. The intervention, delivered by two trained therapists,
included elicitation of self-motivational statements,
summarizing
concerns regarding HIV risk, and feedback about behaviors.
Rel-
ative to the control participants, participants in the intervention
group demonstrated significant increases in HIV knowledge and
risk awareness and intentions to adopt safer sexual practices,
and
they engaged in fewer acts of unprotected intercourse.
Carey et al. (2000) replicated their first study with a second
sample of 102 low-income women. Participants in the MI group
increased their knowledge and their intentions to reduce their
risky
behaviors. Although there were no differences in the MI and
control groups in regard to other outcomes, participants
20. receiving
MI who had less than perfect intentions increased their condom
use, talked more with their partners about condoms and HIV
testing, and were more likely to refuse unprotected sex.
Belcher et al. (1998) used MI as the basis for a single 2-hr
session to promote HIV risk reduction practices among low-
income urban women. There were no MI treatment effects for
knowledge or self-efficacy relative to a control group that
received
a 2-hr education session; however, participants in the
intervention
did report significantly higher rates of condom use at follow-up.
Summary of Outcome Studies
These studies indicate that MI can be incorporated into a wide
range of health promotion and disease prevention interventions,
and it appears to have potential application across diverse
profes-
sionals and health care settings. The outcomes of these initial
interventions, although promising, have nonetheless been
mixed.
Negative findings in some studies could be attributable to meth-
odological limitations, such as inadequate length of follow-up
or
low rates of treatment completion (Glasgow et al., 2000). A
larger
problem that may have affected study outcomes is intervention
fidelity, which has generally not been adequately assessed or
controlled for statistically. Negative or weak results in some
stud-
ies may have been the result of poor intervention delivery as
opposed to ineffective intervention per se. Few studies provided
evidence of counselor competence or fidelity to MI principles
and
21. practices. Conversely, in positive studies, internal validity was
threatened by the fact that the MI interventions were frequently
additive to other interventions. Client contact was often not
com-
parable across conditions, in that the comparison groups did not
receive any “sham” or alternative counseling.
MI for Health Psychology and Behavioral Medicine
Role of MI in Nonaddictive Versus Addictive Behaviors
The increased use of MI for nonaddictive behaviors raises some
important questions regarding its delivery and effectiveness in
this
context. As noted earlier, an essential element of MI is working
through ambivalence about change. It is possible that the nature
and magnitude of ambivalence (which in the extreme can
manifest
as denial) differ for addictive and nonaddictive behaviors. In
the
case of nonaddictive behaviors such as fruit and vegetable
intake
or physical activity, individuals may exhibit varying levels of
readiness to change and palpable ambivalence; however,
modify-
ing these behaviors may not entail the same intensity of
resistance
or convey the same depth of psychological and interpersonal
meaning as does ending alcohol or heroin use. One implication
is
that, in the case of nonaddictive behaviors, less time (although
not
necessarily less skill) may be needed to resolve ambivalence.
Such
encounters may comprise a more behavioral than cognitive
22. focus.
In a recent study (Resnicow et al., 2001) in which MI was used
to
modify fruit and vegetable intake, there was strong participant
interest in eating more fruits and vegetables (i.e., the average
interest rating was 7.0 on a 1–10 scale), and the major barriers
were more pragmatic (e.g., insufficient time, taste preference,
and
lack of availability) than psychological.
Another difference may reside in the fact that, for many addic-
tive behaviors, such as cigarette use, the behavior change
process
often entails a discrete “quit day.” Although target goals and
timing are important for changing behaviors such as eating and
physical activity, the pattern of change is often quite different.
The
concepts of abstinence and relapse are perhaps less tangible for
some health-promoting behaviors.
In the case of many chronic disease behaviors, the change
process generally involves modification or addition rather than
elimination of a behavior (reshaping rather than abstaining). In
addition, MI interventions for chronic disease behaviors may be
incorporated as elements of multiple-risk-factor programs to
con-
trol dyslipidemia, diabetes, high blood pressure, obesity, or
recur-
rence of heart disease. Particularly for secondary prevention,
changes in these domains must be long term, if not for a
lifetime.
MI could focus on helping such individuals come to grips with
the
chronic nature of their condition as well as identify ways to
reduce
what can be perceived as an overwhelming burden of long-term
23. change. However, similar to addictive behaviors, reducing
intake
of favorite foods or sedentary behaviors can be perceived as
unpleasurable and unwelcomed, as with withdrawal. Thus, a key
goal for such individuals may be to reframe their thoughts about
change in positive terms (e.g., what is gained vs. what is lost),
as
well as to conceptualize the change in other than hedonic terms
(e.g., reduced anxiety about their disease risk rather than the
taste
of broccoli).
Proactive Versus Reactive Counseling
In medical settings, clients may seek care for an acute medical
condition, and practitioners may raise health promotion issues
such
as smoking, diet, or exercise. There may be less interest on the
part
of clients to address such behaviors when they did not raise
them.
Not all health promotion encounters, however, are proactive.
For
example, some patients may specifically schedule a periodic
checkup with their physician, with the expectation that their
health
behaviors will be addressed. Whether practitioner-initiated,
proac-
tive interventions function differently from client-initiated
encoun-
ters merits examination.
Time Limitations
Perhaps the greatest challenge in using MI in public health and
medical settings is client contact time. Whereas MI for
24. addiction
counseling or psychotherapy may involve multiple extended
ses-
448 RESNICOW ET AL.
sions, in public health and medical settings, patient encounters
typically range from 10 to 15 min (Emmons & Rollnick, 2001;
Goldstein et al., 1998). Moreover, medical practitioners,
particu-
larly those in emergent care settings, may have only a single
contact with a patient. For example, a patient may seek
treatment
for an acute condition, and during that encounter a physician
may
be able to broach the topic of behavior change (e.g., quitting
smoking). However, the physician may never see that patient
again. Similarly, in some managed care systems, patients are
not
always linked to specific practitioners. Even when there is
conti-
nuity of care, difficulty obtaining reimbursement for behavioral
counseling further limits practitioners’ ability and motivation to
deliver intensive MI. In many of the health promotion and
medical
settings where MI is being applied, the dose, both in terms of
session duration (quantity) and interventionist skill (fidelity),
may
be quite different from the dose delivered in psychotherapy.
Fail-
ure to differentiate full-blown MI from other permutations
could
result in Type III error, that is, erroneously concluding that an
intervention failed when, in fact, it was not delivered with ade-
25. quate dose or fidelity (Basch, Sliepcevich, Gold, Duncan, &
Kolbe, 1985).
Mode of Delivery
In medical and public health contexts, MI is often part of a
multicomponent intervention that may include education
materials
as well as non-MI individual and group interactions (Glasgow et
al., 2000; Resnicow et al., 2000, 2001; Resnicow, Jackson, et
al.,
in press). In addition, when MI is delivered by telephone (Berg-
Smith et al., 1999; Ludman, Curry, Meyer, & Taplin, 1999;
Resni-
cow, Jackson, et al., in press; Resnicow et al., 2001; Sims,
Smith,
Duffy, & Hilton, 1998; Taplin et al., 2000; Woollard et al.,
1995),
both counselors and clients operate with limited nonverbal cues,
which may affect depth of rapport and treatment impact (Soet &
Basch, 1997).
Professional Development and Training Issues
In the addiction field, MI interventions have typically been
delivered by individuals with extensive training in psychology
or
counseling. Training such professionals in the use of MI often
represents only a minor “upgrade” or moderate reorientation of
skills. Although within public health and medical settings, psy-
chologists and social workers (Ludman et al., 1999; Resnicow,
Jackson, et al., in press; Smith et al., 1997; Velasquez et al.,
2000)
have been used to deliver MI interventions, more commonly
nurses (Doherty, Hall, James, Roberts, & Simpson, 2000;
Velasquez et al., 2000; Woollard et al., 1995), physicians
26. (Doherty
et al., 2000; Rollnick et al., 1997), dietitians (Berg-Smith et al.,
1999; Mhurchu et al., 1998; Resnicow et al., 2000, 2001), or
health
educators (Harland et al., 1999) are responsible for intervention
delivery. In the case of these professionals, applying MI may
represent a more dramatic shift in their orientation and skill set
(Rollnick, 1996), because they have traditionally been trained to
provide expert advice about the benefits of health behavior
change
(Goldstein et al., 1998). These disciplines often entail imparting
information (Glanz, 1979; Rollnick, 1996). Practitioners not
pri-
marily schooled in client-centered counseling may be able to
learn
the basic techniques of MI, but without extensive training they
may be unable to achieve the whole that is greater than the sum
of
its parts. Technical skills are necessary but insufficient to
achieve
the spirit of MI. Such professionals may be able to use some of
the
basic MI skills and strategies with a few hours or days of
training
(e.g., asking open-ended questions, agenda setting, and basic re-
flective listening). However, mastering deeper level reflection,
handling resistant statements or clients, and applying MI across
a
range of health behaviors often require a degree of training,
prac-
tice, and supervision not practical in most health care settings
(Velasquez et al., 2000). A challenge for many health care prac-
titioners is adopting MI’s more facilitative and collaborative
spirit
in contrast to the more prescriptive, expert-driven, practitioner-
27. centered techniques traditionally used in medical settings.
Conclusion
MI appears to have broad application to health promotion and
behavioral medicine. Although initial outcome studies have pro-
duced mixed results, delivered with adequate dose and fidelity,
MI
appears to have potential efficacy. Numerous questions remain,
however, regarding how MI works with different conditions and
individuals and which health professionals are best able to
deliver
MI with fidelity. It is also not clear how practitioners will be
reimbursed for training and delivery of MI in these settings.
Key
research issues include the efficacy and cost-effectiveness of
tele-
phone versus in-person delivery of MI and the impact of MI
across
different ethnic, age, and sociodemographic populations.
It is also important to determine what effects of MI might be
attributed to common elements of counseling, such as attention
effects and empathy, not unique to MI. Internal validity of MI
interventions can be established by comparing MI head to head
with other counseling methods while holding dose and delivery
modality constant. In addition, coding MI encounters based on
degree of fidelity to the principles and practices of MI (with
such
systems as the Motivational Interviewing Skill Code; Miller &
Mount, 2001) allows dose–response analyses to be performed.
Studies that measure the dose and fidelity of MI interventions
will
help illuminate the essential elements and optimal intensity to
achieve lasting behavior change.
