Bachelor Assignment

This assignment is done for the project Gezonde Omgeving (healthy environment) within the company Vilans. Their goal is to assist people with a mental impairment to quit smoking. To achieve this, caregivers of three different care organisations followed training in “motivational interviewing”. This is a conversation technique that aims to find one’s intrinsic motivation for behaviour change. The caregivers apply this technique in conversations with their clients. The goal for the caregivers is to have a constructive conversation that will help the clients to quit smoking.

A tool was made that allows the client and caregiver to reflect after each conversation in order for the caregiver to get feedback on their actions, learn from their actions, and improve their motivational interviewing skills
