Determine Motivation for Recovery
Published in Sandra Rasmussen, Developing Competencies for Recovery, 2023
People develop self-efficacy through mastery experiences, social modeling, social persuasion, and psychological responses to physiological states. Self-efficacy regulates functioning through cognitive, motivational, affective, and selective processes. People with a weak sense of self-efficacy experience and exhibit powerlessness. People with a strong sense of self-efficacy embody and express empowerment.

Children acquire new skills in a supportive social environment. Parents and teachers can help the child by acknowledging the child's difficulty and applying some general methods to improve the child's functional performance.Give simple step-by-step instructions for the task.Demonstrate or model activities.Model the activity by verbalising steps aloud.Allow time for practice.Set up a variety of activities to foster motivation.Use pictures or written lists to organise activities.Reorganise and label things to make them easy for the child to find.Consider providing environmental support using Velcro, thicker pencils, stable paper pads, and adjusting the height of the chair/desk.
Counselling drug users
Published in Berry Beaumont, David Haslam, Care of Drug Users in General Practice, 2021
Motivation can be described as the probability that a person will enter into, continue and adhere to a specific change strategy.4 More importantly, motivation is something that can be influenced by the counsellor, whose role is not to provide advice but to target that motivation and increase the likelihood that a course of action towards change will be successful. Patients may be motivated to engage or participate in one form of treatment but not another, to work on one problem but not another. They may not want detoxification but can be motivated to reduce harm or stabilise drug use. Listen to what individuals want and provide choice.

Lastly, we examined how the inclusion of a particular motivation of altruism was associated with duration of membership. We found that people who mentioned altruistic motivation were more likely to be a long-term member. Previous research on motivation found that volunteers’ higher levels of perceived meaningfulness and responsibility for outcomes are positively associated with duration of membership (Steen, 2006). Generativity, or making a contribution, has been documented by Yamashita et al. (2019) as a unique altruistic motivation of older volunteers in nonprofit organizations. ShareCare members are older adults, and it is possible that people who included altruistic motivation could attain generativity where there is a concern for others beyond themselves by interacting with ShareCare via volunteer work. It is interesting to note that while all subjects of this study were older adults, many did not mention altruism as a motivation as SST would suggest. Obviously, there are others factors that account for the variability in the selection of motivation. Gender and health were factors where differences were trending, although not significant, between those who selected an altruistic motivation and those who did not. As shown in Table 1, a greater percentage of women chose altruistic motivation (80.00% versus 73.24%) as did those who were very healthy and capable of volunteering (70.00% versus 54.93%).
Virtues-Based Policies for Pharmacological Cognitive Enhancement
Published in AJOB Neuroscience, 2020
The advantages of these virtues-based institutional rules are that they can account for differing roles and settings, allow for individual discretion, and offer general guidance. First, these rules are role and setting specific. Appropriate CE for students differs from that of advanced healthcare students/providers, i.e., permitted CE for a student may not be permitted for an advanced healthcare student/provider. Second, in both rules acceptable CE is clearly defined. For both rules acceptable use of CE requires an individual to have appropriate reasons or motivations. In education, a student’s motivations must be for seeking understanding and/or accurate beliefs and, in healthcare, a provider’s motivation must be to facilitate patients receiving the best possible care. Finally, these rules tacitly necessitate discretionary judgment. Being motivated to act is one thing, being successful in one’s motivated actions is another (Zagzebski 1999). To be successful in seeking understanding and/or accurate beliefs or that patients receive the best possible care requires an individual identify and assess the relevant considerations in a particular situation. Due to these advantages, a virtues-based approach to institutional rules allows policymakers a tool that avoids “one-size-fits-all”, but offers guidance, flexibility, and discretion for CE.

One of the parameters that is thought to affect alcohol and substance use during a patient’s diagnosis and treatment process is treatment motivation.Treatment motivation is an important concept that makes the individual willing to change their behavior, affects the performance of the individual positively, and provides a driving force in making positive behavior a reality (Savaşan, 2010). Motivation is a very important component that is crucial to inducing a change in an individual’s behaviors. A significant factor, especially in terms of addiction, a lack of treatment motivation leads the patient to discontinue treatment, makes them unable to complete treatment, as well as increasing the likelihood of relapses after treatment (Diclemente, 1999). In terms of alcoholism, even though an individual may realize the damage caused by alcohol and wish to take a step back, they are never quite able to do this. The desire to stop using and treatment motivation are determining factors in the treatment of alcoholism (Cox, Pothod, & Hosier, 2007). In one study it was concluded that pre-treatment motivation is an important component for sustained alcoholism treatment (Cahill, Adinoff, Hosig, Muller, & Pulliam, 2003).
