To investigate the effectiveness and cultural relevance of Quitskills training tailored for health professionals working with Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people who smoke.
A retrospective analysis was conducted with data collected from 860 participants (54% Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander participants) in tailored Quitskills training from 2012 to 2016. Course participants took part in a survey at pre-training, post-training and four-six weeks post-training to assess confidence in skills to address tobacco, and perceptions of the strengths, areas for improvement and cultural relevance of the training.
Confidence in skills and knowledge to address tobacco increased significantly from pre- to post-training (all indicators of confidence in skills increased p<0.001) and remained high at follow-up. Tailored Quitskills training was perceived as being culturally relevant by Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander participants, and the training facilitators were the most commonly cited strength of the training.
Quitskills is an appropriate course for increasing skills and confidence among health professionals working with Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people who smoke. Implications for public health: Training courses that are tailored for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people can build the capacity of the health workforce in a culturally relevant manner.
调查针对为吸烟的原住民和托雷斯海峡岛民工作的卫生专业人员量身定制的 Quitskills 培训的效果和文化相关性。
对 2012 年至 2016 年间接受定制 Quitskills 培训的 860 名参与者（54%为原住民和托雷斯海峡岛民参与者）的数据进行了回顾性分析。课程参与者在培训前、培训后和四到六周后参加了一项调查，以评估解决烟草问题的技能信心，以及对培训的优势、改进领域和文化相关性的看法。
从培训前到培训后，解决烟草问题的技能和知识的信心显著提高（所有技能信心指标均增加，p<0.001），并且在随访时仍然很高。定制的 Quitskills 培训被原住民和托雷斯海峡岛民参与者认为具有文化相关性，培训师是培训最常被提及的优势。
Quitskills 是提高为吸烟的原住民和托雷斯海峡岛民工作的卫生专业人员技能和信心的合适课程。对公共卫生的影响：为原住民和托雷斯海峡岛民量身定制的培训课程可以以文化相关的方式增强卫生劳动力的能力。
