Nurses lack training in smoking cessation education. While a brief intervention improved their knowledge and intentions, their actual patient education behavior did not change long-term.

Area of Science:

  • Nursing Education
  • Public Health
  • Tobacco Control

Background:

  • Limited nursing curricula cover smoking cessation education delivery.
  • Nurses' practice settings often lack structured smoking cessation training.
  • Effective smoking cessation interventions are crucial for public health.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To assess the impact of a brief intervention on nurses' knowledge and behavior regarding smoking cessation education.
  • To evaluate the long-term maintenance of nurses' knowledge and behavioral changes post-intervention.
  • To identify barriers to implementing smoking cessation education in nursing practice.

Main Methods:

  • A brief educational intervention was administered to nurses.
  • Nurses' knowledge and self-reported behavior regarding smoking cessation education were assessed before and after the intervention.

  • Knowledge and behavior were reassessed in their practice settings for long-term effects.

    • Main Results:

    • The intervention significantly increased nurses' knowledge of smoking cessation education.
    • Nurses reported increased intentions to deliver smoking cessation education.
    • While knowledge was maintained long-term, behavioral changes did not align with intentions.

    Conclusions:

    • Brief interventions can enhance nurses' knowledge and intentions for smoking cessation education.
    • A gap persists between nurses' intentions and actual delivery of smoking cessation education in practice.
    • Further strategies are needed to translate increased knowledge and intentions into consistent clinical behavior.
