Abstract

Objective: To assess the effectiveness of a motivational interviewing program in encouraging patients to change their alcohol consumption behaviors. Method: This quasi-experimental, longitudinal study involved a sample of men from a hospital in Northeast Thailand. Data were collected using a questionnaire. Data processing was conducted using SPSS. Results: In the Action Domain of the SOCRATES-8A scale, the mean score before the intervention was 35.27 for the Control Group (CG) and 25.73 for the Experimental Group (EG). The post intervention scores increased significantly, with a notable improvement in the EG (Mann-Whitney: p = 0.000), in across all domains, including the Taking Steps (Action) domain. Conclusion: The motivational interviewing program significantly increased patients' motivation to change their alcohol consumption behavior, resulting in a reduction in their intake.
