Liens transversaux de livre pour 4.6.4 Motivate the person
Healthcare providers are trained to ‘advise’ and have an inherent desire to set things right for their patients. This rarely helps to bring a change in behaviour. Instead, the aim should be to explore people’s difficulties about changing their behaviour and help them find their own solutions. A therapeutic alliance (section 4.2.1) is important to understand the person’s point of view and identify the conflicts between how the person behaves and what he/she aims to achieve. The healthcare providers should encourage the person with whatever efforts he/she is able to make towards a desired change in diet/ taking supplements, without any confrontation or external pressures.
