This book was released on 2011 with total page 117 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: With childhood obesity on the rise, there is increasing concern about the prevention and treatment of obesity. Obesity occurs in children/adolescents and is associated with increased health risks and psychosocial problems. Standard treatment options for obesity can include dietary, physical activity, and behavioral therapy. In this project, an enhancement to the current standard treatments was conducted. Motivational Interviewing has been shown to aid in changing weight-related behaviors for adults. The present study evaluated the effects of Motivational Interviewing on children/adolescents preceding an obesity intervention. A multi-method survey approach was utilized. Results indicated that four out of the sixteen participants showed improvement in their readiness to change weight-related behavior. Furthermore, the majority of parents reported that their children showed increased awareness in weight related behaviors, improvement in mood, and positive lifestyle changes. Parental involvement appears to be one significant component in obesity treatments, such that parents supported and reinforced children's healthy weight-related behaviors. Future studies should include a larger pool of participants with a control group and a specific parental involvement component.

This book was released on 2015 with total page 310 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Problem: Adolescent obesity has reached epidemic proportions globally. Motivational interviewing (MI) is an emerging intervention for adolescent health risk behavior that has promise. Despite its potential fit in primary health care contexts, primary care providers tend to express reticence in learning or adopting MI practices. This program evaluation project assessed the usefulness of Motivational Interviewing (MI) by primary care providers with adolescents in school based health centers that was implemented by a large randomized clinical trial (RCT) in southwest United States high schools. Methods: As part of the RCT, the primary care providers were required to do MI sessions with 66, 45, 25, and 91 youth participants respectively at their School-based site. It was anticipated that providers would be increasingly comfortable with MI between their first and final participant and that youth would be increasingly satisfied as provider comfort increased. To evaluate this, as part of the RCT, a set of primary care providers working with youth in school based health centers were trained through didactic sessions, homework, and role-play. School-based providers were provided an introductory training in MI, MI reading materials, a study manual, and were required to participate in bimonthly tele-coaching to ensure treatment integrity and fidelity. Primary care provider and adolescent participant survey data from session 1 of the RCT was analyzed to determine provider comfort with MI and adolescent satisfaction with MI. Summary of findings: Despite the standard training practices, providers showed a range of interest in comfort with the intervention. However, as anticipated, overall primary care providers became significantly more comfortable with MI on the final day of the MI sessions with increased use (p

Download or read book Quantum Change written by William R. Miller and published by Guilford Press. This book was released on 2011-10-21 with total page 228 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Most of us walk through each day expecting few surprises. If we want to better ourselves or our lives, we map out a path of gradual change, perhaps in counseling or psychotherapy. Psychologists William Miller and Janet C'de Baca were longtime scholars and teachers of traditional approaches to self-improvement when they became intrigued by a different sort of change that was sometimes experienced by people they encountered--something often described as "a bolt from the blue" or "seeing the light." And when they placed a request in a local newspaper for people's stories of unexpected personal transformation, the deluge of responses was astounding. These compelling stories of epiphanies and sudden insights inspired Miller and C'de Baca to examine the experience of "quantum change" through the lens of scientific psychology. Where does quantum change come from? Why do some of us experience it, and what kind of people do we become as a result? The answers that this book arrives at yield remarkable insights into how human beings achieve lasting change--sometimes even in spite of ourselves.

Download or read book The Effect of Integrating a Motivational Interviewing Intervention Into a Family based Weight Management Program for Overweight and Obese Children written by Vanessa Elizabeth Cordova and published by . This book was released on 2016 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The prevalence of children who are overweight and obese has increased at an alarming rate over the past 30 years. Overweight and obese children are at an increased risk for chronic diseases such as type two diabetes, hypertension, and cardiovascular disease. Minority children, particularly Latinos, are at most risk for becoming overweight or obese due to many factors including genetics, low-income, and lack of access to healthy foods. Effective strategies and interventions to help reduce overweight and obesity rates in children are needed more than ever. The following proposed study will examine the counseling technique called motivational interviewing, as an interventional method for increased weight loss. This research proposal will specifically ask if integrating motivational interviewing into a 6-week, family-based, weight management program located in Los Angeles serving the Latino families, is an effective, feasible, and cost-effective intervention that will result in increased weight loss for participating children.
Download or read book New Directions in Behavioral Intervention Development for Pediatric Obesity An Issue of Pediatric Clinics of North America E Book written by Sylvie Naar-King and published by Elsevier Health Sciences. This book was released on 2016-07-06 with total page 201 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Almost one out of every three US children is overweight or obese, with minority youth at highest risk. There are limited efficacious pediatric obesity interventions available for clinicians, and successful weight loss trials for minority youth are rare. Even fewer interventions have been shown to significantly improve clinical health outcomes such as adiposity, blood pressure, and cholesterol level, and maintenance of behavior change over the long-term remains a challenge Translation I research in which "bench" findings are applied to the "bedside" is uncommon in the behavioral arena. Thus, advances in our understanding of fundamental human processes such as motivation, emotion, cognition, self-regulation, decision-making, stress, and social networks are not being optimally applied to our most pressing behavioral health problems. This issue of Pediatric Clinics will focus on promising behavioral treatments "in the pipeline" that have been translated from basic behavioral science and are the process of refinement and proof of concept testing.
Download or read book An Examination of the Technical and Relational Hypotheses of Motivational Interviewing in a Sample of African American Adolescent Girls Seeking Obesity Treatment written by Rachel Leah Boutté and published by . This book was released on 2016 with total page 148 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Adolescent obesity has increased exponentially over the past three decades in the United States. In response, behavioral interventions have been developed and implemented to address this epidemic; however, treatment adherence is often suboptimal. Motivational interviewing (MI) is a directive, person centered approach to reducing patient ambivalence about change, which has been shown to increase engagement in obesity interventions. The current study investigated the underlying process of MI by exploring two different, but related pathways that explain how change happens (e.g., the technical and relational hypotheses) in the context of a multidisciplinary obesity intervention with African American adolescent girls (N = 30). Results demonstrated that MI-consistent skills were associated with client "change talk" or language consistent with their desire, ability, reasons, need, taking steps or commitment to change. Specifically, clinician reflection of client change language and support of client autonomy were especially important for increasing change language. Furthermore, client language related to change was associated with three-month treatment adherence, and increased fruit and vegetable intake. However, the clinician's ability to embody the MI "spirit" was not related to either client language or three-month treatment adherence. Findings suggest that the technical aspect of MI helps explain this approach's effects on treatment adherence among African American girls with obesity.

Download or read book Child Maltreatment An Issue of Pediatric Clinics written by Howard Dubowitz and published by Elsevier Health Sciences. This book was released on 2014-11-22 with total page 257 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Pediatric primary care provides a unique opportunity to tackle child abuse and neglect. In the United States in particular, primary care is a well-established system, and most children have multiple visits, especially in the first few years. There is typically a very good relationship between parents and health professionals, who are respected experts on children. The interested pediatrician, thus, has a remarkable entrée into the workings of a family, its shortcomings, and its strengths. With some knowledge and skill, pediatricians can play a pivotal role, even in a few strategic minutes. We know, however, that some professionals feel very uncomfortable becoming involved in this unpleasant area and may be deterred from taking any action. Understandable as this may be, it can jeopardize a child’s health and safety. Hopefully, this issue of Pediatric Clinics of North America will help make this work a bit easier, albeit not easy. With training and support, pediatricians can equip themselves to be competent and more comfortable addressing child maltreatment. Aside from the possible forensic implications, the heart of this work is primarily about helping families take adequate or good care of their children. Indeed, helping address child abuse and neglect also helps promote children’s health, development, and safety, and it is central to the rich mandate of Pediatrics.
