Abstract

We sought to evaluate the influence of demographic, symptom, functional and cognitive factors on task-specific motivation, as well as improvement in task-specific motivation that occurs in response to motivational interviewing. In the absence of any intervention, better task-specific motivation was associated with higher perceived competence and lower symptomatology. Post-motivational enhancement improvement in motivation was predicted by fewer hospitalizations and better cognitive insight, with baseline symptomatology no longer predictive. Findings suggest motivational enhancement is likely to benefit individuals with diverse clinical presentations, though may be particularly well suited to those with lesser disease severity and better cognitive insight.
