E.M.A. Tools for Successful Behavior Change: Empowerment, Motivational Interviewing and Adult Learning is organized by Dietitian Central.

Expiration Date: May 31, 2024
Description:
How Can I Get My Patients to Change Their Behavior?"
The answer: by incorporating patient empowerment, motivational interviewing and adult learning tools! PE and MI are patient-centered, evidence-based counseling methods that replace the ineffective but much used 'compliance' approach. Twenty-five easy, practical PE-MI tools are reviewed (summarized in acronym A.D.O.P.T.E.E.S.). These tools include an easy way to identify a patient's stage of readiness to change for each main diabetes intervention, and how exactly educators can use stage-based counseling strategies to reduce the patient's resistance to change and ambivalence. Principles of adult learning are also summarized.
Adults learn best when fun, 3D teaching aids are used. These principles are often overlooked or forgotten in clinical practices, and yet they are key to enhancing patients' knowledge and skill outcomes (remember, a knowledge outcome triggers a behavior change outcome); so you will see actual pictures of many of my homemade aids in the slide deck...and how to make them yourselves. Attendees will also receive several of my PE-MI counseling forms, such as a "MNT Intervention Checklist" and my "MNT-DSME Conversation C.A.R.D."
Learning Objectives:
Upon successful completion of this 2-hour course, the participant will be able to:
• List 8 of the 24 E.M.A. tools for helping patients change their lifestyle behaviors (tools summarized in word A.D.O.P.T.E.E.S.).
• Name the one MOST important tool for changing behavior.
• Name the 6 "stages of readiness" to change a behavior.
• Name 3 questions of the 8 to prompt patient to persuade himself to change (questions summarized in word B.I.G.G.E.S.T.).
