Summary
This study shows that simulation-based e-training improved healthcare practitioners' confidence in Motivational Interviewing (MI). The reflective program enhanced skills and attitudes, supporting its integration into health education curricula.
Area of Science:
- Health Professions Education
- Behavioral Science
- Medical Simulation
Background:
- Behavioral modification techniques are integrated into health science curricula.
- Motivational Interviewing (MI) is a key technique with limited educational success.
- Simulation-based learning offers a controlled, authentic training platform with immediate feedback.
Purpose of the Study:
- To assess the impact of a simulation-based reflective e-training program on healthcare practitioners' knowledge, attitudes, and confidence in Motivational Interviewing.
- To explore the role of self-reflection in promoting reflective learning within the training.
Main Methods:
- Mixed-method study design with 15 participants for quantitative/reflective phases and 5 for focus groups.
- Pre- and post-tests measured changes in knowledge, attitudes, and confidence in MI.
- Motivational Interviewing Treatment Integrity (MITI) scores assessed competence in simulation; qualitative analysis explored participant experiences.
Main Results:
- Significant increase in confidence scores for Motivational Interviewing (median 29 to 34, p=0.006).
- Participants demonstrated competence in technical and relational skills.
- Reflective assignments revealed content, process, and premise transformations, indicating enhanced skills and potential attitude shifts.
Conclusions:
- Simulation-based e-training is an effective educational modality for health professions.
- The reflective program positively impacted confidence and skills in Motivational Interviewing.
- Evidence supports integrating reflective simulation-based e-training into health education curricula.

Modeling, a key technique in therapy, uses observational learning to help clients acquire and practice new skills by watching therapists demonstrate desired behaviors. This approach, rooted in Albert Bandura's concept of vicarious learning, plays a significant role in therapeutic interventions for various psychological conditions, including social anxiety, ADHD, and depression.

Humanistic therapies emphasize personal growth, self-understanding, and the fulfillment of human potential. Rooted in the belief that individuals inherently strive toward self-actualization, these approaches encourage clients to explore their feelings and experiences in a supportive, nonjudgmental environment. Humanistic therapies differ from psychodynamic approaches by focusing on conscious experiences, present circumstances, and the potential for self-improvement rather than past conflicts...

Patient-centered care involves delivering care beyond inpatient hospitalization. Reflective practice can enhance a patient-centered approach. Reflective practice is a process of reasoning that considers all aspects of the present situation, including practicalities, learning from personal practice, and consideration of patient needs. Patients appreciate care decisions made while considering their input. Involving the patient in their care provides the patient with a sense of contribution rather...

Focusing involves centering a conversation on a message's critical elements or concepts. Focusing is valuable if the talk is vague or patients begin to repeat themselves. Sometimes, when patients are asked about their symptoms, they may go off-topic and try to tell their entire life story. Respectfully, the nurse should bring the conversation back into focus.
This therapeutic technique can also be used when a patient brings up pertinent information during a health-related conversation. The...
