Background: While Motivational Interviewing (MI) is effective in reducing client problem behaviours, including health-related behaviours, there is little evidence about how MI training enhances practitioner skills. Aims: The current pilot study addressed this lack by training two health practitioners (Diabetes Nurse Educators) in MI, and evaluated the effect of MI training on both practitioner and patient behaviour when MI was delivered in a clinical settting, with patients experiencing difficulties with diabetes self-management. Methods: Comparisons were made between the practitioners’ skills in a baseline condition (Patient Education; PE) and after training in Motivational Enhancement Therapy (MET), a four-session form of MI. At the same time, the effects of the two interventions on patient in-session behaviour were compared. Practitioner and patient data were obtained from transcripts of all PE and MET sessions, which were independently coded using Motivational Interviewing Skills Code therapist and client behaviour counts. Results: Compared with their baseline performance, practitioners, when trained to practice MET, behaved in ways consistent with MI, and this appears to have evoked beneficial in-session behaviour from the patients. Conclusions: These results suggest that the MI training was effective.

Virtual Client

IntroductionMotivating behavioural change during client consultations is of crucial importance across all health professions to address the growing burden of chronic conditions. Yet health professionals often lack the skills and confidence to use evidence-based counselling interventions to support clients’ behavioural change and mobilise clients’ resources and self-efficacy for change to address their long-term needs.AimsThis pre–post pilot study will develop a motivational interviewing (MI) virtual client training tool for health professionals and test the effectiveness of the educational content and usability of the virtual client interaction.Methods and analysisPostgraduate students across a range of health disciplines will be recruited. Data assessing attitudes towards preventive healthcare will be collected using a modified version of the Preventive Medicine Attitudes and Activities Questionnaire. Conversations with the virtual client will be analysed using the Motivational Interviewing Treatment Integrity code to assess changes in MI skills. The System Usability Scale will be used to assess the usability of the virtual client training tool.Ethics and disseminationThis protocol was approved by the Flinders University Social and Behavioural Research Ethics Committee in May 2019. The results of the pilot study will inform the development of an avatar-based mobile application consisting of MI teaching and interactions with a generic virtual client that can be easily adapted to multiple scenarios.
