Impact of Diet and Physical Activity Changes on Body Weight, Biomarkers and Quality of Life in Breast Cancer Survivors

The motivational interviewing strengthens the motivation and commitment to achieve a specific change through the induction and exploration of the reasons for modifying behavior. All this within an atmosphere of acceptance and compassion. It is about extracting the possible solutions to the change that is faced from the individual and his environment and not from the professional. This strategy is achieved by looking for the patient to feel motivated, and to express their problem and thus create discrepancy so that they evaluate their actions and reflect on the changes they should make.

Traditional education refers to the normal care given to breast cancer survivors. That is, they receive recommendations about their physical activity and diet but without any motivational approach.
