Supporting smoking cessation at pharmacies can be challenging owing to difficulties in recruiting smokers to participate in cessation programs, insufficient communication skills among pharmacists, and lack of knowledge and self-efficacy in successfully quitting smoking in Japan.
This study evaluates the effectiveness of a smoking cessation training program on community pharmacists' knowledge, attitude, and self-efficacy in supporting smoking cessation.
The study, conducted in Japanese pharmacies with 100 community pharmacists, employed a quasi-experimental design. Two online training programs were implemented. Participants completed a web-based survey assessing their knowledge, attitude, and self-efficacy in supporting smoking cessation before, immediately after, and 1 year after the training program. A two-way analysis of variance with a mixed model was used to examine score changes at each time point.
Total knowledge scores significantly increased between baseline and immediately after training and baseline and 1 year after training. The total attitude scores between baseline and immediately after training differed significantly. However, no differences were noted between baseline and 1 year after training. Total self-efficacy scores significantly increased at baseline, immediately after training, and between baseline and 1 year after training. Despite no significant interactions between the programs, there was a partial interaction effect on knowledge, with only the customized program having items whose knowledge levels improved after 1 year.
The training program improved community pharmacists' knowledge, attitude, and self-efficacy regarding smoking cessation support. The customized program must be reinforced to improve support performance and maintain attitude.
在日本，由于招募吸烟者参与戒烟项目存在困难、药剂师沟通技巧不足以及缺乏成功戒烟的知识和自我效能感，在药店支持戒烟可能具有挑战性。
本研究评估戒烟培训项目对社区药剂师在支持戒烟方面的知识、态度和自我效能感的有效性。
该研究在拥有100名社区药剂师的日本药店中进行，采用准实验设计。实施了两个在线培训项目。参与者在培训项目前、培训后立即以及培训后1年完成了一项基于网络的调查，评估他们在支持戒烟方面的知识、态度和自我效能感。使用混合模型的双向方差分析来检查每个时间点的分数变化。
在基线与培训后立即以及基线与培训后1年之间，总知识得分显著提高。基线与培训后立即之间的总态度得分存在显著差异。然而，基线与培训后1年之间未发现差异。总自我效能感得分在基线、培训后立即以及基线与培训后1年之间显著提高。尽管两个项目之间没有显著的交互作用，但在知识方面存在部分交互作用，只有定制项目有在1年后知识水平提高的项目。
培训项目提高了社区药剂师在戒烟支持方面的知识、态度和自我效能感。必须加强定制项目以提高支持效果并维持态度。
