Does a motivational interviewing intervention improve cardiovascular disease risk profile and wellness in adults with type 2 diabetes and/or hypertension?
A motivational interviewing intervention can improve cardiovascular risk factors such as BMI and waist circumference, as well as overall wellness, in patients with metabolic syndrome.
Motivational interviewing improved BMI and waist circumference at 6 months in T2D or hypertension; extends evidence for whole-person lifestyle interventions in primary care.
The purpose of this randomized controlled trial was to examine the effects of a motivational interviewing intervention to improve whole-person lifestyle and reduce cardiovascular disease risk profile. A sample of 111 adults with type 2 diabetes and/or hypertension was recruited from a primary care physician practice. The intervention was facilitated by a program specialist trained in motivational interviewing. Outcomes included body mass index, cholesterol, hemoglobin A1c, blood pressure, waist circumference, wellness scores, and substance use. Differences in the changes in body mass index and waist circumference existed between the intervention and control groups after 6 months. In the intervention group, the proportion of high wellness scores increased after the program. A whole-person lifestyle intervention with motivational interviewing for patients with metabolic syndrome can improve one's health in terms of components in the cardiovascular disease risk profile, as well as overall wellness. Efforts to improve the health of these patients may incorporate motivational interviewing to guide goal setting and address mental and spiritual health in addition to physical health.
