“…However, other recommendations were completely absent, likely because they are not areas of behavior change that app developers have thought of targeting. For example, motivational interviewing techniques were not used by any of the apps, though pilot work from weight loss interventions in women have shown that motivational interviewing can be successfully implemented through website interaction [23]. Few apps (n06) utilized the strategy of combining multiple behavior changes by targeting HE and PA, despite the fact that apps that provide more services to customers are likely more valuable to them and an app that targets multiple behavior changes takes the burden off the consumer to find supplemental apps.…”

Mobile applications (apps) offer a novel way to engage children in behavior change, but little is known about content of commercially available apps for this population. We analyzed the content of apps for iPhone/iPad for pediatric weight loss, healthy eating (HE), and physical activity (PA). Fifty-seven apps were downloaded and tested by two independent raters. Apps were coded for: inclusion of the Expert Committee for Pediatric Obesity Prevention's (ECPOP) eight recommended strategies (e.g., set goals) and seven behavioral targets (e.g., do ≥1 h of PA per day), utilization of gaming elements, and general characteristics. Most apps lacked any expert recommendations (n035, 61.4 %). The mean number of recommendations among apps that used recommendations was 3.6±2.7 out of 15, 56.1 % (n032) apps were classified as games, and mean price per app was $1.05±1.66. Most apps reviewed lacked expert recommendations and could be strengthened by addition of comprehensive information about health behavior change and opportunities for goal setting. KEYWORDSPediatric obesity, Childhood, Overweight, Mobile apps, Mobile health INTRODUCTION Recent reports show that 16.9 % of children in the United States are obese and almost 30 % of children are overweight or obese by age 5 years [1, 2], putting them at greater risk for health complications and future weight gain [3,4]. Among actions recommended by pediatric obesity experts are promotion of healthy eating (HE) and physical activity (PA) [5,6] as well including the whole family in treatment [7]. Mobile applications (apps) are an engaging way to involve children in health behavior changes, capitalizing on portability and affordability of delivering health information via mobile devices and opportunity to use gaming to make health information entertaining [8,9]. While most children do not own their own smartphone, parents are heavy app users, with 57 % of app-using

Background Motivational interviewing (MI) is a patient-centered method of behavior change counseling. It has shown promise in enabling patients to identify and improve problem health behaviors. Incorporating MI education into residency training may be beneficial. Objective To review the current evidence regarding the impact of MI education in graduate medical education. Results Of the 9 studies of MI education in graduate medical education training, most noted favorable outcomes after MI education. Outcomes included improvements in residents' view of MI, MI skill use and competency, and resident satisfaction with MI interventions. Of the 5 studies that looked at residents' views of MI, 3 found improvements in resident assessments of the importance of and confidence in using MI. Of the 4 studies of MI skills, 3 reported improvements in residents' use of and competency in the MI skill. The quality of MI education in the graduate medical education literature is limited by overreliance on preintervention and postintervention analysis as a study design, the variable intensity of educational interventions, and limited use of validated assessment tools and quantitative outcome measures. Conclusions Review of the literature shows that MI education can be successfully implemented within the residency education environment. The intensity of MI interventions, coupled with experiential learning and feedback, correlated with favorable outcomes in terms of resident use of MI skills and resident satisfaction. Further study is needed to determine which MI skills are most effectively taught to residents, the impact of MI training on resident behavior in clinical settings, and the impact on clinical outcomes.

“…Similarly, West et al (2007) conducted a study through a multidisciplinary team approach on 217 females with Type II diabetes using motivational interviews, and found that a distinct weight control in the experimental group and that weight loss is maintained in the 6th, 12th and 18th months. Webber et al [16] conducted a study on 20 females in which they allocated the females into two online groups and communicated with them via emails for eight weeks, and revealed that the motivational interview can be used as an effective method in ensuring weight control and increasing individuals' motivation. Methapatara and Srisurapanont [9] found in their study on 64 overweight or obese schizophrenic patients that motivational interviews carried out together with walking supported by pedometer is effective in ensuring weight control and reducing BMI values.…”

This study aims to analyse the effect of motivational interviews on the lifestyle of hypertensive individuals. This study was conducted with hypertensive individuals between the ages of 24 and 45, registered in seven family health centres in Aksehir, Konya, Turkey. The 75 individuals who agreed to participate were allocated into two groups: experimental and control. Both the groups were administered the pre-test, then the experimental group was visited for a total of 5 times: four visits at threeweek intervals and one visit after one month. The study was completed by administering the post-test to both groups and data were analysed using SPSS 17.0. Statistically significant differences were found between the pre-test and post-test scores of the experimental group in terms of blood pressure and BMI. In conclusion, motivational interviews can be used in ensuring healthy nutrition and regulation of their exercise level and blood pressure for hypertensive individuals.
