Telehealth Simulation With Motivational Interviewing: Impact on Learning and Practice.

BACKGROUND
The Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act increased numbers of insured individuals and demands for health care cost reductions. A national call for nursing education to focus on health promotion activities exists. Nurse educators can address this shift in health care by including motivational interviewing (MI), a health promotion technique, in the curriculum.


METHOD
This exploratory descriptive pilot survey examined postlicensure nursing students' perceptions and self-reported behaviors following an online synchronous telehealth simulation-based experience in which they practiced MI.


RESULTS
The survey yielded a 45% (n = 10) response rate. All participants agreed the experience was beneficial to their learning and provided insights on a new clinical practice environment. Eighty percent of participants would have liked to have learned MI in their prelicensure program, and 50% of participants have integrated it in their current practice.


CONCLUSION
This tele-health simulation-based experience positively affected the learning and behaviors of postlicensure nursing students. [J Nurs Educ. 2019;58(4):221-224.].
