| Course Information |
Motivating patients or clients to change their health-related behaviors is core to the success of almost every episode of care administered by physical therapists (PTs) and physical therapist assistants (PTAs), from short-term adherence to a post-op inpatient or home program; from long-term adherence to a lifestyle behavior change program. A major step toward enabling patients and clients to effect health behavior change begins with identifying your own perceived and actual facilitators and barriers to successfully effecting such change in your patients and clients, as well as their internal and external motivations, and their real and perceived barriers to changing.
In recent years, a strong evidence base has developed supporting processes of teaching and learning to effect behavior change in patients and clients, within time- and resource-constraints of PT and PTA practices. To enable patients and clients to maximize their treatment outcomes, PTs and PTAs need clinical competency in effecting health behavior change, just as they do for other clinical interventions. In this webinar, you will learn about the “hows” and the supporting evidence for these methods of motivating your patients and clients to achieve targeted behavior change in the short- or long-term. You will come away with new skills in communicating with your patients and clients that can prove to be win-win: you as a clinician achieving superior outcomes and your patients and clients achieving greater health self-efficacy, satisfaction, and appreciation of their health overall.
