Interventions

Motivational interviewing BEHAVIORAL

Motivational interviewing technique will be used to improve patient adherence to multiple health behaviour changes and support patients with psoriasis to self- manage effectively. The intervention will discuss on four main topics: diet, physical activity, stress management and psoriasis treatment. Motivational interviewing is a patient centered directive counselling technique that focuses on assisting patients to identify their problems and involves exploring ambivalence in an empathic manner. A key goal in motivational interviewing is to increase the importance of change from the client's perspective. This is accomplished by using specific types of open ended questions, selective reflections and reflective listening.
