Description:
Motivational Interviewing (MI) is a valuable approach for HIV professionals to enhance patient engagement, promote behavior change, and improve health outcomes in HIV care. By understanding the core principles of MI, including empathy, discrepancy development, and supporting self-efficacy, professionals can create a supportive and non-judgmental environment that encourages patients to explore their motivations for change. By integrating MI into practice, HIV professionals can effectively support patients in navigating their healthcare journey, promoting empowerment, resilience, and improved health outcomes.
