Motivational interviewing (MI) did not significantly decrease prenatal alcohol use in this study. However, factors like provider qualities and participant motivation may influence intervention effectiveness for pregnant women.

Area of Science:

  • Obstetrics and Gynecology
  • Public Health
  • Behavioral Science

Background:

  • Prenatal alcohol exposure poses significant risks to fetal development.
  • Effective interventions are needed to reduce alcohol consumption during pregnancy.
  • Self-determination theory provides a framework for understanding behavior change.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To determine the effectiveness of motivational interviewing (MI) in reducing prenatal alcohol use.
  • To examine self-determination theory mechanisms (psychological needs, autonomous motivation) linked to reduced drinking.
  • To identify factors influencing intervention outcomes in pregnant women.

Main Methods:

  • 67 pregnant women with prior alcohol use were randomized to MI or a comparison group.

  • Assessments included alcohol use and self-determination theory constructs at baseline and follow-up.
  • The MI group received the intervention post-baseline.

    • Main Results:

    • Motivational interviewing did not significantly decrease prenatal alcohol use.
    • No significant changes in psychological needs satisfaction or autonomous motivation were observed.
    • Nonspecific factors (treatment structure, participant motivation, provider qualities) were noted.

    Conclusions:

    • MI was not effective in reducing prenatal alcohol use in this cohort.
    • Further research is required to identify specific and nonspecific factors for effective nursing interventions.
    • Understanding these factors is crucial for developing targeted strategies to decrease alcohol use during pregnancy.
