One of the more difficult challenges health professionals face is how to help patients gain both the information - and motivation - they need to be successful in making, and maintaining, healthy lifestyle changes.
Join Julie Schwartz, MS, RD, CSSD, LD, ACSM-HFS, Nutri-Well Coaching, and Lola Coke, PhD, APRN-BC, ACNS, FAHA, FPCNA, board member of the Preventive Cardiovascular Nurses Association, for this lively presentation on the principles of motivational interviewing and behavior change tools.
Every healthcare professional needs a "toolkit" of different behavior change strategies to deal with diverse populations of patients. This presentation will help healthcare professionals better utilize these tools when working with patients to increase physical activity. The program will include a role play scenario to demonstrate motivational interviewing principles.
EDUCATIONAL OBJECTIVES: At the conclusion of this program, attendees will be able to:
1. Utilize two motivational interviewing principles with patients to promote physical activity behavior change.
2. Discuss how additional behavior change strategies can be used with patients to increase physical activity.
3. Implement tools to help patients evolve from an inactive to an active lifestyle, meeting the recommended physical activity guidelines.
