The steps in the change as it pertains to MI are:

1.Identifying the behavior
2.Identifying the problem
3.Desiring a change
4.Feeling confident about at change
5.Making the change!

 

As previously stated, new behaviors can be facilitated through MI by resolving conflict or ambivalence about changing from one behavior, to the new behavior.

 

Thus, motivational interviewing may be a method to facilitate more positive self-management among patients with chronic conditions who are challenged to engage in behavioral change.
