Abstract

Motivational Interviewing (MI) is a pivotal approach in healthcare, utilising collaboration, empathy, and individual empowerment. This article focuses on the foundational principles of MI, focusing on its effectiveness in promoting positive outcomes by acknowledging resistance to force, addressing the elements of positive change, and fostering collaborative relationships. MI recognizes the importance of capability, opportunity, and motivation in achieving sustainable outcomes, highlighting the role of healthcare professionals as guides rather than authoritative figures.
