Tobacco cessation intervention has a positive impact on quality of care. For health professionals, limited competency in this area may be associated with poor training during their academic programs. There is a clear need to further develop and implement training programs to improve tobacco cessation knowledge, skills, and attitudes among healthcare students.
The aim of this study was to assess the effectiveness of the innovative online training program "Brief Intervention in Smoking Cessation" for healthcare students to improve their knowledge, skills, and attitudes.
A pre-post evaluation study with a satisfaction assessment tool was used.
Seven universities from four European countries, including Belgium, Portugal, Spain, and the United Kingdom, participated.
One thousand and seventy-two (1072) undergraduate students participated, with 851 completing the online program.
All participants completed the "Brief Intervention in Smoking Cessation" online program, which consisted of five theoretical modules, five videos, and three virtual simulation cases between January 2020 and June 2022. Knowledge was assessed by a multiple-choice test, and practical skills were assessed by a simulation algorithm, both of which were developed by education and smoking cessation experts. Competency was achieved when students successfully completed both assessments. Satisfaction was measured using an ad hoc 16-item questionnaire. Pre-post changes in knowledge were assessed using a paired Student's t-test.
Eighty-six percent of the students achieved smoking cessation competency. Students significantly improved their knowledge score on a scale of 0 to 10 points, with a mean pre-program score of 3.79 vs a mean post-program score of 7.33 ([-3.7 - -3.4] p < 0.001), acquiring sufficient attitudes and skills (simulation mean of 7.4 out of 10 points). Students were highly satisfied with the program (8.2 out of 10) and recommended it to other students (8.4 out of 10).
The "Brief Intervention in Smoking Cessation" online training program is effective for the acquisition of smoking cessation competencies among European health profession students.
戒烟干预对护理质量有积极影响。对于健康专业人员来说，由于在学术课程中接受的培训有限，他们在这方面的能力可能有限。显然需要进一步开发和实施培训计划，以提高医疗保健学生的戒烟知识、技能和态度。
本研究旨在评估创新的在线培训计划“简短戒烟干预”对提高医疗保健学生的知识、技能和态度的有效性。
使用前后评估研究和满意度评估工具。
来自四个欧洲国家（比利时、葡萄牙、西班牙和英国）的七所大学参与了该研究。
1072 名本科生参与了该研究，其中 851 名完成了在线课程。
所有参与者都完成了“简短戒烟干预”在线课程，该课程包括五个理论模块、五个视频和三个虚拟模拟案例，时间为 2020 年 1 月至 2022 年 6 月。知识通过多项选择题评估，实践技能通过教育和戒烟专家开发的模拟算法评估。当学生成功完成两项评估时，即可获得能力认证。满意度通过一个 16 项的特定问卷进行衡量。使用配对学生 t 检验评估知识的前后变化。
86%的学生实现了戒烟能力认证。学生在 0 到 10 分的范围内显著提高了他们的知识得分，平均课前成绩为 3.79，平均课后成绩为 7.33（[-3.7- -3.4]p<0.001），获得了足够的态度和技能（模拟平均分为 10 分中的 7.4 分）。学生对该课程非常满意（得分为 8.2 分），并向其他学生推荐（得分为 8.4 分）。
“简短戒烟干预”在线培训计划对于欧洲健康专业学生戒烟能力的获得是有效的。
