Purpose: The purpose of this study was to examine the effects of Motivational Interviewing (MI) training program on
communication skill and self-efficacy of home visiting nurses (HVNs).
Methods: This study has a mixed-methods design that includes a one-group pre-post test study and focus group interviews
(N=23). From April 16th to June 11th in 2014, total six two-hour sessions of MI training program were provided to the
participants. The quantitative outcomes were collected using Global Interpersonal Communication Competence Scale (GICC-
15) and Self-efficacy Scale, and the qualitative data were obtained by 5 focus group interviews. Group pre-post changes were
evaluated by paired t-tests and the qualitative data were analyzed by content analysis method.
Results: MI training program led to significant enhancement in communication skills (Z=-3.62, p<.001) and self-efficacy
(Z=-3.67, p<.001). The qualitative study revealed that the participants had positive experiences to express empathy, support
self-efficacy, and respect autonomy for their clients applying reflective-listening and affirmation skill.
Conclusion: The HVNs who participated in the MI training program showed improved communication skills and self-efficacy
in the quantitative and qualitative studies. A randomized clinical trial is needed to confirm the value of MI training program
for HVNs.
