- "From what you are saying, you feel frustrated because you are trying to diet, but the stress at work makes it hard to resist snacking."Reflective listening
- "Let me make sure I understand everything we discussed: you are concerned about your blood pressure, you have agreed to try walking for 20 minutes a day, and we will check back in two weeks."Summarization
Cevap
Statement 1 matches Open-ended inquiry, Statement 2 matches Affirmation, Statement 3 matches Reflective listening, and Statement 4 matches Summarization.
Motivational Interviewing utilizes the OARS core skills to elicit behavior change and explore ambivalence. Open-ended questions encourage the patient to do most of the talking. Affirmations build patient confidence and acknowledge the difficulty of change. Reflections show empathy and an understanding of the patient's perspective, helping them hear their own thoughts. Summaries pull together important points of the consultation to confirm understanding and form a cohesive plan.
