Brief intervention begins by informing the patient about the meaning of the screening results. This includes a very brief explanation of the total score in relation to the cutoff norms for problem use. This feedback should also reflect the patient’s subjective profile. As the patient learns about his or her screening score, the provider helps the patient appreciate why it has evoked concern.
Individual motivation has been shown to correspond to a theoretical model of change that identifies stages through which individuals pass in the process of modifying their behavior. The stages of change model has five different stages.Pre-contemplationContemplationPreparationActionAnd Maintenance
It is very important to meet the patient where they are, in other words speak at a level in which they can understand. The patient will be much more receptive when you; are a good listener, present in an open manner and show concern. Provide your feedback in a non judgmental manner. The following slides will provide tools which will enable you to accomplish this goal.
When providing a Brief Intervention it is helpful to take the Frames approach. In other words Provide Feedback about how the patient s alcohol or other drug use is affecting their current or future health status.Letting then know that the Responsibility is on the patient to change their behaviorYou may give Advice based on your medical concernsAnd also provide the patient with a Menu of options for changeAlways use EmpathyAnd reinforce the patients belief in their own ability to change (Self-efficacy)
The first step in delivering feedback or brief Intervention to a patient is to ask the patient for permission to share the results. Then proceed when given permission to inform the patient of the meaning of the screening results as you have interpreted them. In addition it may include a very brief explanation of their total score in relation to the cut off norms for problem use as listed in the drinkers pyramid. This feedback should also reflect the patients subjective profile. As a patient learns about his or her screening score, the provider helps the patient appreciate why it has evoked concern. This is an opportunity for the provider to frame the results in the context of a health assessment using the screening results in the same fashion as an elevated clinical laboratory value. As a provider offers this feed back care must be taken to avoid blame or the implication of scolding. State your conclusion and recommendation clearly.
Patients motivation is increased when their primary care physicians or healthcare provider relate how their alcohol or drug use is impacting their health. By recognizing their alcohol or drug use and relating it to their health the patient has a better chance of increasing their motivation to reduce or abstain from their current level of use. The follow are examples of integrating advice with health issues.Remember to relate your concerns to the patients concerns and medical conditions if present. Consider the potential interaction with medication that the patient is now using or you are going to prescribe. Another tool is the drinkers pyramid. It illustrates the distribution of persons who achieve various audit scores and where they fall on the drinkers pyramid. Sometimes incorporating the drinkers pyramid in a brief advice session can motivate a patient to consider reducing or abstaining from their current patterns of use.Giving advice provides the opportunity for the provider to frame the results in the context of a health assessment. Again as the provider offers this feedback, care must be taken to avoid blame or the implication of scolding. State your conclusion and recommendation clearly. By recognizing their alcohol and / or drug use and relating to their health, the patient has a better chance of increasing their motivation to reduce or abstain from their current level of use.
Another important component of providing a Brief Intervention is remembering that it is the patients responsibility to change. Your job is to merely plant the seed in order to help the patient consider change.
Giving advice without telling what to do . Always ask the patients permission to discuss their substance use before providing information about their use. Patients need to be active in discussing options, but the ultimate goal is that they make the decision. It is better to suggest than to tell people what to do. Offering advice with permission can be either in the form of making a suggestion or explaining educational information. It is important to note that educational information is factual data that is based on creditable information. Facts that relate specifically to the patients health, substance use or other information that is shared through the assessment should be presented in a non threatening way. Advice should be simple and matched to the patients level of understanding and readiness.
Perhaps one of the most challenging steps of the Frames approach is to express Empathy. Empathy entails reflective listening. In other words listening attentively to each statement and reflecting it back in different words so that the patient sees you understand what they are saying. To Be empathic is to convey warmth, respect, caring commitment and personal interest in the patient. The patient does most of the talking when a safe environment is created. Allow the process to flow which will permit the patient to move in a new direction. This does require patience particularly when a patient is resistant. It is imperative that they be allowed the opportunity to talk about their resistance to a non-judgmental person that does not react to their defenses.
To succeed in changing patients must understand that they have the ability to change. This will require self-confidence or self-efficacy in their ability to succeed fully to take steps toward a goal. The steps need to be small. One of the most important roles that you will have is to foster hope and optimism by reinforcing their ability to be successful. Sometimes this means capitalizing on other changes that the patient has made before, reminding them of their previous success and drawing parallels to their substance use, assuring the patient that he or she can be successful and that you are there to help them.
Resistance is normal and should be expected. However, the provider should not revert into being the expert and telling the patient what to do. Rather, listen to what the patient is saying. They are providing you with very valuable information. Here are a few examples you may encounter and how to respond to these situations.
In order to gain some insight into how people change stop and think about your own behaviors. Pick a behavior that you are ambivalent about changing. Whether it be your diet, exercise or smoking. What stage would you say you fall into? What would it take for you to move into the next phase?
For more examples of Brief Intervention please click on the following link.
The goals of Intensive Intervention can be adapted to outcomes that correspond to each stage of change. Intervention programs often fail because of the mismatch between the individual’s readiness to make changes and the intervention program’s focus on action. When people are not ready to commit to a change in their behavior, they ordinarily react to being pressured or pushed into change by becoming resistant and defensive or they become even more ambivalent about change and view the message as irrelevant to their personal situation. Efforts to persuade individuals who may be contemplating changing their behavior but aren’t yet ready, are seldom as effective as efforts to assist them in resolving their ambivalence or strengthen their own motivation. In this slide the goals of Intensive Intervention in the Pennsylvania SBIRT Project are listed.
In Pennsylvania, each region approached the delivery of II differently. In Allegheny County, the II was delivered on-site by the Healthcare Educator that was employed by the site and properly trained and supervised in providing this level of service. In Bucks County, II was delivered as part of an intervention program within the community overseen by the Bucks County Council on Alcoholism & drug Dependence. In Philadelphia, a contracting provider agency worked with the Einstein Medical Health Care system to complete Brief Treatment with the patients that were referred by the medical provider to the providing agency.
In order to overcome some of the frustrations with regards to making referrals to specialized treatment providers. Pennsylvania recommends establishing a connection with a substance abuse treatment provider in your area and creating a referral system prior to implementing SBIRT into your daily routine.In Pennsylvania, each county has a Single County Authority that oversees the substance abuse treatment providers. Establishing this connection with the county was vital in accessing treatment services for patients with Medicaid, those that were under-insured, uninsured or did not have coverage for this specialized treatment. This allowed for easier access to treatment services.In addition the County can serve as a lead in:Making referrals to treatment providersResources County funding processesAct 106 informationAnd to help cultivating personal relationships between the providers both medical and specialized treatment
There is support building for screening and brief intervention. The American Medical Association developed codes 99408 and 99409 for screening and brief intervention in the medical community. In addition 10 states have activated the Center for Medicaid Service codes for screening and brief intervention. For more information on the subject we recommend you go to www.ensuringsolutions.org.
In addition to the AMA CMS codes there is continued support building for Screening and Brief Intervention amongst private insurers. Health plans who have committed to paying for Screening and Brief Intervention are listed In addition, JCAHO recently called for input into what role if any it might play in developing standards for Screening and Brief Intervention in various Medical Settings.
The following is a list of resources or online trainings that are available for implementing SBIRT.
