Implementation of motivational interviewing in the general practice setting: a qualitative study.

Background: General Practitioners (GPs) and Practice Nurses (PNs) collaboratively play an important role in preventing and monitoring chronic diseases. They are trained in Motivational Interviewing (MI), which is a communication style to intrinsically motivate patients to a healthier lifestyle. However, being trained in MI skills does not necessarily mean that it is implemented in daily practice so patients actually benefit.

Assessment of motivational interviewing with the VASE-(Mental) Healthcare: Mixed-methods study to examine feasibility and validity in the general practice setting.

Objective: The VASE-(M)HC is an instrument to evaluate Motivational Interviewing (MI) skills. We adjusted the previous version for use in the broader (mental) healthcare context, incorporated new MI insights, expanded the scoring system and created a parallel version. Feasibility and validity evidence in the general practice setting was explored.

Assessment of motivational interviewing: Psychometric characteristics of the MITS 2.1 in general practice.

Objective: Motivational Interviewing (MI) is increasingly used in healthcare. The Motivational Interviewing Target Scheme 2.1 (MITS) can be used to assess MI in short consultations.

Assessment of motivational interviewing: a qualitative study of response process validity, content validity and feasibility of the motivational interviewing target scheme (MITS) in general practice.

Background: The Motivational Interviewing target Scheme (MITS) is an instrument to assess competency in Motivational Interviewing (MI) and can be used to assess MI in long and brief consultations. In this qualitative study we examined two sources of the Unified Model of Validity, the current standard of assessment validation, in the context of General Practice. We collected evidence concerning response process validity and content validity of the MITS in general practice.
