- Abstract
Background: Motivational interviewing (MI) is an evidence‐based method of promoting oral healthcare behaviour. Conventional training of MI is a time‐consuming and costly aspect in the dental curriculum. Therefore, the aim of this study was to evaluate the effectiveness and acceptance of a MI‐blended learning programme for dental students. Materials and Methods: Dental students had to perform an interdisciplinary created "ecourse Motivational Interviewing in medical settings" (eMI‐med). After completion, patient‐student interviews were recorded and evaluated using the Motivational Interviewing Treatment Integrity Code (MITI‐d). Furthermore, the students' self‐efficacy regarding smoking cessation and oral hygiene motivation was examined and the acceptance of the tool was enquired. Results: Forty interviews with 25 different students were analysed with the MITI‐d. Students showed high levels of MI‐adherent behaviour (15.45 ± 6.98), open‐ended questions (9.95 ± 6.90) and reflections (10.43 ± 8.85), which were comparable to previous classroom trainings. In addition, 90% of the students preferred e‐learning over classroom teaching. Furthermore, the students' therapeutical self‐efficacies were significantly increased by the programme. Conclusion: Within the limitations of this study, the created e‐learning programme was able to equip dental students with basic knowledge and MI skills. Furthermore, learning MI through e‐learning may heighten the self‐efficacy of dental students regarding smoking cessation and oral hygiene promotion. Students showed a high acceptance of e‐learning, preferring it over traditional learning.
