With its unique position, primary health care (PHC) can provide health promotion and prevention services, including lifestyle behavioural counselling. Unhealthy lifestyle behaviours are very prevalent among patients attending PHC, with many patients unwilling to change or in the precontemplation stage. While patients in the contemplation stage are better managed using the 5As approach of motivational interviewing counselling, those unwilling or not ready for change necessitate a different approach, such as the 5Rs of motivational interviewing (MI) counselling. The 5Rs MI approach holds promise in motivating unwilling individuals to consider embarking on the journey of behavioural change. The 5Rs approach is not a stand-alone checklist of tasks implemented in isolation but is best integrated within a theoretical behavioural change framework. Of the four health-related behavioural change theoretical frameworks that are frequently used, the transtheoretical stages of the change model are the most used. This continued professional development article provides a summary review of the literature on behavioural change theories as they apply to lifestyle health behaviour change and presents the 5Rs approach as a feasible and practical approach to manage patients who are unwilling to change or in the precontemplation stage. This offers a beacon of hope for improved patient outcomes in a PHC system saddled with high prevalence of modifiable unhealthy lifestyle behaviours. |
