Target Audience

This course is designed for pharmacists, nurse practitioners or other health care professionals involved in the comprehensive medication management of psychiatric and/or neurological patients.

Session Summary

Motivational Interviewing (MI) techniques are a patient-centered approach to increase behavior change by stimulating a patient’s internal motivation to change, which can target ambivalence related to medication. Evidence regarding MI is mixed, with trials demonstrating no improvement in adherence in non-adherent patients with a prior psychotic relapse, but decreased hospitalization rates in select populations. Currently, trials are being conducted to clarify the benefit of MI in the treatment of other conditions including but not limited to patients living with mental illness. It is suggested that MI skills should continue to be reinforced to ensure high fidelity of the skills to optimize their potential benefit to patients.
