Motivational Coaching
Active listening at BREVA HEALTH
BREVA HEALTH uses a motivational approach as a support tool in the successful management of patients’ health.
Motivational approach
Motivational approach is a way of being with patients that is particularly useful in general medicine when one wants to address a change in behavior that influences health (tobacco, alcohol, physical exercise, diet, taking medication, etc.).
Based on active listening and an empathetic attitude, the motivational approach proposes principles that are easily applicable in the context of a general medical consultation. It takes into account the patient’s perceptions of risk. It ensures a positive and relaxed atmosphere for discussions and shows very encouraging results. The motivational approach is therefore both a way of thinking and a practice, which increases, in a well-demonstrated way, the effectiveness of counselling sessions, whatever the nature of the change to be made: modification of consumption, risk-taking, therapeutic compliance, etc.
Exhaustive literature review
An exhaustive literature review was conducted in order to evaluate the use of the motivational approach for behavioural changes among elderly people with acute and chronic illnesses. Although limited in number, the studies revealed significant improvements in physical activity, diet, cholesterol levels, blood pressure, glycemic control and increased smoking cessation after MI.
