effectiveness of an elderly smoking cessation counseling training program for social workers a longitudinal study
Chest, 2007Co-Authors: G M Leung, J M Johnston, Sophia S C Chan, Steve K K Chan, Iris Chi, Pauline P S Woo, T H LamAbstract:Background To achieve greater coverage of the elderly smoking population, the provider/Client Interface could be broadened to include other professional groups who work with the elderly. We evaluated the effectiveness of a 9-h smoking cessation counseling training program for social workers. Methods We recruited 177 social workers and used a preintervention/postintervention longitudinal design, analyzed by multilevel, multivariable modeling to adjust for between-subjects covariables and within-subjects correlation in repeated measurements at baseline, 3 months, 6 months, and 12 months after training. Results Overall, knowledge improved from a mean score of 6.70 ± 1.03 (± SD) at baseline to 7.35 ± 0.75 at 12 months (range, 0 to 8 correct responses), attitude from 2.84 ± 0.41 to 3.10 ± 0.48, and self-perceived competence from 2.49 ± 0.38 to 2.85 ± 0.36 (range, 1 to 4, where 4 is best). On multilevel modeling, three of the four “A”s (ask, advice, assist, arrange as per the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality framework) registered significant gains from baseline to 12 months overall, whereas “advice” did not show any appreciable change. Conclusion These findings demonstrate that our smoking cessation training program achieved sustained effectiveness in the first year after training in enhancing knowledge, positively shifting attitudes, boosting self-perceived competence, and increasing the self-reported frequency of practicing three of the four As in their routine interaction with elderly Clients.

training nurses and social workers in smoking cessation counseling a population needs assessment in hong kong
Preventive Medicine, 2005Co-Authors: J M Johnston, Sophia S C Chan, Steve K K Chan, T H Lam, Iris Chi, G M LeungAbstract:Abstract Background To achieve greater coverage of elderly smokers and to shift entire populations toward cessation, the provider–Client Interface could be broadened beyond physicians to include nurses and social workers, who can be formally trained to provide such services. We carried out a population-based training needs assessment of the latter two groups in Hong Kong. Methods Three thousand seven hundred eligible hospital-based nurses and 2,258 social workers who had elderly Clients in Hong Kong were recruited in a knowledge, attitude, and practice (KAP) cross-sectional survey. We used multivariable logistic regression to identify predictors for two key outcomes—“initiation and advice” (ask and advise) and “follow-through” (assess, assist and arrange), based on the U.S. Agency for Health Care Policy Research framework. Results One thousand eight hundred forty-three (49.8%) nurses and 1,499 (66.4%) social workers responded. Nurses reported a much higher level of engagement in smoking cessation activities than social workers in all five steps of the AHCPR framework (P Conclusion Our findings highlight a large degree of unmet need in Hong Kong's hospital-based nurses and social workers who work with the elderly regarding smoking cessation service provision and training. Future research should focus on developing and evaluating programs that encourage nurses and social workers to provide cessation interventions to exert a much greater collective impact than doctors can alone.
