This article studies the feasibility and acceptability in a clinical trial of the impact of the motivational interview (MI) on inactive diabetic (diabetes mellitus) patients' adherence to physical activity (PA). This trial included thirty participants; sixteen received MI with telephone reinforcement for four weeks, the remaining received conventional care. PA, body mass index (BMI), blood glucose level and self-efficacy in PA were measured. The intervention group showed significant improvement in the PA (p<.05) and blood glucose level (p<.05). Taking into account the change in BMI for a large scale study, the calculation of the sample varies between 710 and 950 patients. For smaller-scale studies, taking into account the change in Metabolic Equivalent of Task (MET), blood glucose, and self-efficacy, the sample calculation ranges be tween 34 and 272 patients.

Palabras clave : diabetes mellitus; treatment compliance; physical activity; motivational interviewing; health care psycho logy; clinical trial.
