Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

The aim of this study is to evaluate clinical and health economic parameters in relation to individual motivational counseling by phone.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

A chronic condition such as psoriasis requires a high level of self- management and requires for many patients behaviour change to improve health outcome. Changing behaviour is a challenge that requires a commitment by the patient to implement successfully. Motivational interviewing is a patient centered directive counseling technique that focuses on assisting patients to identify their problems and involves exploring ambivalence in an empathic manner. It is a well-known method of counseling, and is considered to be a useful intervention strategy in the treatment of lifestyle problems.

This study is a randomized controlled trial using telephone motivational interviewing. The counseling intervention comprises 6 telephone calls during a 12 week period, after attending 3 weeks of supervised climate therapy on the Canary Islands

Motivational interviewing is a patient centered directive counselling technique that focuses on assisting patients to identify their problems and involves exploring ambivalence in an empathic manner. A key goal in motivational interviewing is to increase the importance of change from the client's perspective. This is accomplished by using specific types of open ended questions, selective reflections and reflective listening.
