About

Studies support the idea that people diagnosed with social anxiety disorder score significantly lower on self-acceptance than healthy controls, and that self-compassion is inversely related to anxiety. Motivational interviewing has been shown to improve treatment outcomes as well as predict higher self-compassion and reduced resistance among participants.It also has the ability to increase the effectiveness of motivational interviewing as an intervention with perpetrators of intimate partner violence, promoting readiness for change and progression through stages of change. In this context, this study aims to examine the effect of motivational interviewing on social anxiety level, dating violence and self-compassion in nursing students with social anxiety.

Full description

Nursing as a social profession needs more social interaction. Nurses should be able to develop therapeutic interaction with patients. This can only be possible when they are confident in themselves and worry about others and get rid of anxiety disorders. Social anxiety symptoms have been associated with increased risk of depression, other anxiety disorders and substance misuse, as well as difficulties in making healthy social connections and adjusting to the academic environment. Motivational interviewing (MI) has been found to provide symptom reduction in individuals with generalized anxiety disorder and to improve treatment outcome in individuals with SAD. A meta-analysis by Kirby et al. (2017) concluded that existing self-compassion-based interventions are moderately successful in enhancing compassion and reducing suffering (e.g. depression, anxiety, distress). While moderate effects are very important and encouraging, they indicate that interventions can be improved. It is suggested that including PD as a prelude to compassion-based interventions may provide similar benefits for program participation, initiation, adherence, and behavior change.It has also been shown that PD may increase sensitivity to dating violence interventions. In this context, this study aims to examine the effect of motivational interviewing on social anxiety level, dating violence and self-compassion in nursing students with social anxiety.
