Abstract

OBJECTIVES

To evaluate the effect of a specific intervention on smoking cessation in health professionals.

METHODS

Between 2003 and 2004, a cluster-randomized trial was performed in 32 schools of nursing with 956 student nurses in Southwest Germany. Students in the intervention group received three teaching units each lasting 1 day on how to give advice to people who want to stop smoking. The program addressed only nurses' professional role and not their individual smoking behavior. After a follow-up of 13 months, the change in smoking status was determined. Secondary endpoints included changes of smoking-related factors like stages of smoking or knowledge about health risks.

RESULTS

Change of smoking status in the desired direction (stopping smoking or not starting smoking) occurred less often in the intervention than in the control group, but the difference did not reach statistical significance (odds ratio 0.69, 95% confidential interval: 0.43, 1.10). The program was successful in delivering medical knowledge (P=0.0056) and in enhancing competence in giving advice to smokers (P<0.0001).

CONCLUSIONS

The applied approach is able to improve student nurses' medical knowledge and to augment their competence in giving advice to smokers, but it is not an effective strategy to reduce their own smoking behavior.

摘要

目的

评估一项特定干预措施对卫生专业人员戒烟的效果。

方法

2003年至2004年期间，在德国西南部的32所护理学校对956名学生护士进行了一项整群随机试验。干预组的学生接受了三个为期1天的教学单元，内容是关于如何向想要戒烟的人提供建议。该项目仅涉及护士的职业角色，而非他们个人的吸烟行为。经过13个月的随访，确定吸烟状况的变化。次要终点包括吸烟相关因素的变化，如吸烟阶段或对健康风险的认识。
