Description:
How Can I Get My Patients to Change Their Behavior?"
The answer: by incorporating patient empowerment, motivational interviewing and adult learning tools! PE and MI are patient-centered, evidence-based counseling methods that replace the ineffective but much used 'compliance' approach. Twenty-five easy, practical PE-MI tools are reviewed (summarized in acronym A.D.O.P.T.E.E.S.). These tools include an easy way to identify a patient's stage of readiness to change for each main diabetes intervention, and how exactly educators can use stage-based counseling strategies to reduce the patient's resistance to change and ambivalence. Principles of adult learning are also summarized.

Adults learn best when fun, 3D teaching aids are used. These principles are often overlooked or forgotten in clinical practices, and yet they are key to enhancing patients' knowledge and skill outcomes (remember, a knowledge outcome triggers a behavior change outcome); so you will see actual pictures of many of my homemade aids in the slide deck...and how to make them yourselves. Attendees will also receive several of my PE-MI counseling forms, such as a "MNT Intervention Checklist" and my "MNT-DSME Conversation C.A.R.D."
