A motivational interviewing approach emphasises that to bring about change, we need readiness to change, importance (the value we place on making the change) and self-efficacy (the belief or confidence in our ability to achieve change).
40 Based on social learning theory, the intervention attempted to develop clinicians' sense of importance about change (the "why" of change) and their confidence in their ability to achieve change (the "how" of change).
Exposure to trained clinicians may have increased patients' sense of the importance of change and ability to achieve change, in keeping with the underlying theory of behaviour change counselling, or these may be reporting artefacts.
The definition was broken down into a set of categories representing core concepts, including: communication with health professionals, condition-related information, feelings of control, self-efficacy, coping skills, and ability to achieve change.
The ability to achieve these changes with relatively simple interventions has major potential public health benefits for osteoporosis prevention and fracture reduction in later life.
Importantly, the ability to achieve greater changes in pain intensity, disability and moderate school absences via intensive inpatient treatment was also confirmed by comparing decliners of inpatient treatment who completed outpatient treatment instead to completers.
The ability to achieve such substantial changes in composition across rather limited length makes this process a highly attractive candidate for combinatorial materials science studies.
The ability to achieve such substantial changes in composition across rather limited lengths make such graded alloys highly attractive candidates for investigating the influence of systematic compositional changes on phase transformations and concurrent microstructural evolution in these alloys.
Critical to survival is the geriatric concept, allostasis, defined as the ability to achieve stability through change.
This echoes the contentious theme that even though political processes may help researchers get funding for their projects they can also undermine the ability to achieve any real change (Canada Researcher 5).
