Objectives
We can motivate why we included this course unit in the study program.
Motivational interviewing is one of the optional courses in the Nutrition and Dietetics program.
The general objective of the course unit is to train students in counseling techniques based on the motivational interviewing theories by Miller and Rollnick. Many diseases progress chronically, hence, they often require the care of medical professionals and may include coaching for behavioural change. The stages of change model by Prochaska and Diclemente is described. All stages are accompanied by different interview techniques as presented by Miller and Rollnick. The objective is to provide theoretical knowledge about these interviewing techniques. Students are also trained on putting these techniques into practice.
