Motivational interviewing

Assess patient’s quality of life

Link patient’s concerns to patient goals

Motivational interviewing is an effective technique that can help resolve a patient's concerns with medication adherence. This technique involves engaging in a collaborative conversation with the patient, focusing on their motivation and goals. By using open-ended questions and reflective listening, the healthcare provider can help the patient explore their ambivalence and find their own reasons for adhering to their medication regimen. This approach can help increase the patient's motivation and commitment to taking their medication as prescribed, ultimately improving their adherence and overall health outcomes.
