Introduction
Motivational Interviewing (MI) represents an antidote to something intended to fulfill a need. It is mostly a form of good guidance representing modern refinement. The approach can be helpful in behavioral change as it promotes offering guidance and helping people to appreciate what is in it for us (“Stephen Rollnick,” 2013). It involves using skills to support people to make decisions for themselves instead of only providing solutions to people, which breeds engagement such that the doer understands why an action is being taken.
Discussion
Additionally, MI thrives in a community of practice with different cultural values and an environment that supports easy implementation of change. The professor provides a contrast between two instances in a hospital. In both cases, the services are provided on different riders: “Next please” and “Who would you like to see.” The second case emerges better in supporting service delivery since nurses feel less stressed and engage better with the patients (“Stephen Rollnick,” 2013). The illustration underpins the value of putting systems around people, not people around systems, representing a big and significant cultural shift. While referring to the second case of teen mothers, an interesting observation about MI emerges. MI is seen not as a solution but as a powerful ingredient to drive good practice.
Conclusion
The presentation emphasizes the need to trust people as they know what is best for them. Their ideas can be sourced by structuring a purpose and supportive activity, such as a conversation. The key lesson is to appreciate that MI can be learned through five conceptual stages. The process begins by unlearning a person’s clever strategies and other ideas, then slowly implementing a new approach (“Stephen Rollnick,” 2013). During the process, it is critical to remain bold, brave, and humble, believe that people have answers to their problems, and use the appropriate language to impart change.
