Dental hygienists play an important role in patient education and vaccine counseling for the prevention of HPV-OPC. The purpose of this study was to assess the utilization of HPV Brief Motivational Interviewing (brief MI) Skills Based Training among the University of Minnesota (UMN) dental hygiene alumni.<b>Methods</b> A quantitative study was conducted with a convenience sample of dental hygiene alumni (classes of 2020-2024; n=135) who completed HPV Brief MI Skills Based Training at the UMN. Multiple recruitment strategies were used including email, mail, social media, and snowball sampling. Participants completed a 37-item anonymous electronic survey via Qualtrics. The survey was adapted from previously used instruments to assess HPV knowledge, attitudes, current practices in HPV counseling, and the application of brief MI for the prevention of HPV-OPC.<b>Results</b> Among the participants (n=51), 49% reported using MI strategies to counsel at least one patient on prevention of HPV-OPC infections and indicated high comfort and confidence in applying MI strategies. However, most participants (73%) acknowledged they do not routinely discuss HPV with patients. Barriers included time constraints, vaccine resistance, difficulty initiating conversations, and lack of confidence or comfort during discussions. Results indicate that knowledge retention and attitudes may be influenced by frequency of practice.<b>Conclusion</b> Dental hygiene alumni from five consecutive cohorts who received HPV Brief MI Skills-Based Training reported comfort and confidence in HPV communication with patients. Findings suggest brief MI is an effective counseling strategy for HPV-OPC prevention and vaccine advocacy. Reported barriers to regular HPV-OPC prevention counseling suggest a change in dental practice culture may be needed.</p>","PeriodicalId":52471,"journal":{"name":"Journal of dental hygiene : JDH / American Dental Hygienists'' Association","volume":"99 3","pages":"24-37"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2025-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144295289","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

{"title":"A Guide to Applying Motivational Interviewing in Nutritional Counseling in Dental Hygiene Education.","authors":"Heather Anderson, Sarah Jackson, Michelle C Arnett","doi":"","DOIUrl":"","url":null,"abstract":"<p><p>Oral and systemic chronic health conditions are widespread in the United States, and nutrition plays a crucial role in their prevention and management. Dental hygienists, as prevention specialists, are uniquely positioned to incorporate nutritional counseling into patient care due to their education and expertise in risk assessment. Despite its importance, integrating effective nutritional counseling in clinical practice is often challenging, with barriers such as time constraints, patient compliance, and clinician confidence. This report presents a blueprint for incorporating motivational interviewing (MI) through a Nutritional Risk Assessment and Counseling Tool (NRACT) into dental hygiene education at Eastern Washington University (EWU). The five-semester dental hygiene curriculum at EWU integrates nutrition concepts early in the course of study, using MI strategies to enhance student confidence in patient counseling. Students receive foundational training in MI techniques, including open-ended questions, reflective listening, and evoking patient motivation. The NRACT supports both assessment and structured nutritional counseling, allowing students to guide patient interactions effectively. Through clinical practice, workshops, and peer feedback, students refine their MI skills and develop confidence addressing nutrition-related concerns. Initial outcomes from EWU suggest incorporating the NRACT, which includes MI, increases students' comfort in discussing topics like nutrition while enhancing patient-centered care. This short report provides the framework to foster the development of skilled oral health care professionals equipped to promote nutritional health. Additionally, this report offers a transferable model for integrating nutritional counseling into dental hygiene education across diverse educational settings.</p>","PeriodicalId":52471,"journal":{"name":"Journal of dental hygiene : JDH / American Dental Hygienists'' Association","volume":"99 3","pages":"51-58"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2025-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144295371","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The burden of this disease has been shown to impact young children before the age of 6 years.

Motivational interviewing (MI) is a person-centered, goal-oriented, collaborative communication style that has been used to help individuals modify behaviors. The interrelated principles of partnership, acceptance, compassion, and evocation underpin the MI approach while utilizing communication skills such as asking open-ended questions, affirmation, reflective listening, and summarizing (OARS) to engage with the individual.
