Summary

Motivational interviewing (MI) is a style of communication designed to elicit a person's own reasons for change to drive commitment toward a goal. The goal of this study is to assess the effect of trainee-led MI on patients diagnosed with acute stroke or TIA attributable to modifiable risk factors in comparison to conventional post-stroke counseling, based on patient outcomes, and meaning of work and sense of fulfillment for trainees.

Conditions

• Acute Stroke
• Transient Ischemic Attack

Interventions

Type	Name	Description
BEHAVIORAL	Motivational Interview	The motivational interview (MI) is a 10-15 minute patient-centered conversation which will focus on tobacco use. Multiple communication strategies can be employed during the MI, including open-ended questions, affirmative statements, reflective listening, use of a 'confidence ruler', and summarizing. The 'confidence ruler' technique in this patient population involves asking the patient "On a scale of zero to ten, how confident are you that you can stop using tobacco?", and then requesting further information about why they selected a certain number. These communication strategies and techniques are designed to uncover and foster a patient's own internal motivations to change the target behavior.
