Motivational Interviewing as a Strategy to Impact Outcomes in Heart Failure Patients: A Systematic Review

Conclusions and Implications of Key FindingsMI demonstrated a positive effect on the SCB hospital readmission prevention factor and on QoL. MI delivered with greater frequency and over a longer duration may improve the immediate risk of hospital readmission as well as long-term outcomes through better medication adherence and SCBs. However, heterogeneity in the methods, design, intervention type, and structure challenged comparisons across studies and further research is warranted.
