Purpose Motivational interviewing (MI) has developed considerably since its inception, which may have led to diverse practice across contexts and differential understanding of core principles. Concept mapping is one potential method for offering insight into practitioner awareness, understanding and application of MI. The paper aims to discuss this issue. Design/methodology/approach In total, 29 professionals from a range of disciplines, including counselling, education and health, completed concept maps about MI, following brief training at the UK regional MI interest network. In total, 17 completed maps were submitted for analysis using quantitative and qualitative methods. Findings A total of 186 concepts and 175 propositional links were found within the 17 maps. The most commonly identified concepts were: change, empathy, collaboration, open-ended questions, affirmations, reflections, summaries (OARS), client centred and compassion. The concept maps also suggested differing levels of expertise across network members using concept mapping morphology classification. Research limitations/implications The sample was small scale and located in one region of the UK. Maps were submitted anonymously meaning that participant data could not be matched to the maps. Practical implications Concept mapping is a potentially useful method for auditing practice and developing skills in MI, as well as exploring participants’ understanding of related concepts and therapeutic mechanisms. Social implications MI has a strong evidence-based across a variety of disciplines and contexts. Refining practitioner skills in MI has implications for the integrity of delivery, and improved client outcomes in areas such as substance use, health promotion and educational disaffection. Originality/value This is the first study to investigate concept mapping as a means of understanding MI practice. It has potential implications for training, monitoring, supervision and development in MI practice.

Abstract Background Despite the importance of lifestyle change in disease management and the growing evidence supporting motivational interviewing (MI) as an effective counseling method to promote behavioral change, to date there are few published reports about MI training in graduate medical education. Objective The study aimed to pilot the feasibility and effectiveness of a brief MI training intervention for endocrinology fellows and other providers. Methods We used a pretest/posttest design to evaluate a brief MI training for 5 endocrinology fellows and 9 other providers. All participants completed subjective assessments of perceived confidence and beliefs about behavioral counseling at pretest and posttest. Objective assessment of MI was conducted using fellows' audiotaped patient encounters, which were coded using a validated tool for adherence to MI before and after the training. Paired t tests examined changes in objective and subjective assessments. Results The training intervention was well received and feasible in the endocrinology setting. At posttest, participants reported increased endorsement of the MI spirit and improved confidence in MI skills. Objective assessment revealed relative improvements in MI skills across several domains. However, most domains, as assessed by a validated tool, did not reach competency level after the training intervention. Conclusions Although more intensive training may be needed to develop MI competence, the results of our pilot study suggest that brief, targeted MI training has short-term efficacy and is well received by endocrinology fellows and other providers.

PurposeChildren with hearing loss may not reach the same level of reading proficiency as their peers with typical development. Audiologists and speech-language pathologists (SLPs) have important roles to play in preventing this problem early in children's development. In this tutorial, we aim to communicate how the habilitation practices of audiologists and intervention services of SLPs can support early literacy skill development in children with hearing loss.MethodWe describe key findings from peer-reviewed research articles to provide a review of early literacy skill development, to explain the relationship between early literacy skills and conventional reading skills, and to highlight findings from early literacy skill intervention studies that included children with hearing loss who use spoken language. We conclude with a hypothetical case study to illustrate how audiologists and SLPs can support early literacy acquisition in children with hearing loss.ConclusionFindings from studies of young children with hearing loss suggest that a promising approach to improving reading outcomes is to provide explicit early literacy instruction and intervention.

Zusammenfassung. Hintergrund: Alkoholbezogene Störungen kennzeichnen sich meist durch einen frühen Störungsbeginn. Jedoch werden entwicklungsrelevante Behandlungsbedürfnisse in der Versorgung oft nicht adäquat berücksichtigt. Zu Screening, Diagnostik und Therapie von alkoholbezogenen Störungen ist nun eine neue, interdisziplinäre S3-Leitlinie vorgelegt worden, in der erstmals spezifische Behandlungsempfehlungen für Kinder und Jugendliche formuliert werden. Methodik: Für die S3-Leitlinie wurden insgesamt 23 Quellleitlinien, 28 systematische Reviews und 2213 Originalarbeiten ausgewertet. Eine interdisziplinäre Konsensuskonferenz formulierte 174 Empfehlungen, von denen 14 speziell für Kinder- und Jugendliche gelten. Je nach Evidenzniveau vergab sie „Soll-“, „Sollte-“ und „Kann“-Empfehlungen oder einen „Klinischen Konsenspunkt“ (KKP). Ergebnisse: Für die Behandlung von Kindern und Jugendlichen gab es jeweils eine „Soll“-Empfehlung innerhalb von Psychotherapien für das Motivational Interviewing (MI), die Kognitive Verhaltenstherapie (KVT) und den Einbezug von Familienangehörigen. Empfehlungen zur Familientherapie sind heterogen. Zu psychosozialen Therapien (z. B. Psychoedukation, Erziehungshilfe, Ergotherapie) wurde ein KKP vergeben. Die Studienlage zu medikamentösen Therapien war unzureichend; nur für die Behandlung psychisch komorbider Störungen ließ sich ein KKP ableiten. Im Rahmen differenzieller Indikationen sollen die Risiken für Suizide, Behandlungsabbruch und die über Mitpatienten vermittelte Delinquenz berücksichtigt werden (KKP). Schlussfolgerungen: Für die Behandlung von alkoholbezogenen Störungen bei Jugendlichen können zahlreiche evidenz- und konsensbasierte Empfehlungen abgegeben werden. Drängender Forschungsbedarf wurde v. a. im Bereich der medikamentösen Therapien festgestellt.
