In this presentation, we will explore the dynamic intersection of Motivational Interviewing (MI) and education in dialysis care. Motivational Interviewing is a person-centered, collaborative approach to guiding patients toward positive behavioral change. We will discuss how nurse leaders in dialysis can leverage MI techniques to enhance patient education strategies, fostering greater engagement, self-efficacy, and adherence to treatment plans. Through real-world examples and practical insights, attendees will gain a deeper understanding of how MI principles can be integrated into their educational practices to empower patients and optimize outcomes in dialysis care.
