Motivational Interviewing in Palliative Care

Completed · Not applicable

Conditions studied: Motivational Interviewing

In brief

Patients with advanced illness and their families confront a number of issues ranging from distressing symptoms to making complex decisions that affect quality of life and survival. Patients and family members struggle with these decisions even more when they feel ambivalence or reluctance. The investigator's overarching goal is to enhance provision of high quality, patient-centered care for patients with advance illness and their families and to reduce burnout among palliative care clinicians. The investigator will apply a well-established approach to achieving clinician/patient alignment in the primary care setting, Motivational Interviewing (MI) to a new population and setting, palliative care.
