cite evidence base for effective coaching that promotes health behaviour change and improves health outcomes

A
  • Griffin et al. 2004 (Ann of Fa MEd) Systematic review - 35 studies identified (most in N America), only 4 satisfied incl. criteria
    interventions:
    1. helping pat have a more active role (encouraged q’s/ elicit concerns)
    2. enhance provider’s approach: paying more attn to pat emotions, adjusting consulting style to the patient’s personality/ emotions, etc. providing more information
    3. combination of above
    results: health outcomes positively affected in 11/25 trials (44%) and negatively affected in 5/25 (20%)
    overall health outcomes poorly assessed: MORE RESEARCH NEEDED
  • when provider approach enhanced: greateer collaboration acheived
    *Hojat et al 2012 (Acad Med): PHYSICIANS EMPATHY level correlated w/ better HbA1c (65% vs 40%)
