Motivational Interviewing and Family Nursing Practice

Project Aim

The project aims to analyze the significance of motivational interviewing in reference with the field of family nursing practice. Therefore, the research hypothesis of the project could be;

H0: Motivational interviewing is an important aspect of family nursing practice.

H1: Motivational interviewing is not an important aspect of family nursing practice

Professional Goal

The project seems extremely important for my development as a family nurse practitioner. In order to become effective family nurse practitioner; I believe I must possess extremely good communication skills. The role of a family nurse is to observe almost every aspect of a person's health (Miller & Rollnick, 2012). Also, family nurse practitioners are essentially well driven to develop cordial relationships with the patients. Therefore, motivational interviewing remains an extremely important aspect of the field of family nursing practice (Dart, 2010). Since the project intends to inquire about the motivational interviewing; the project would help me develop as an effective family nurse practitioner. Through the project; I will be able to gauge some of the major aspects of interviewing the patients. I believe I will become a better interviewer, observer and interpreter of the problems of patients after the completion of this project.
