“…Well-designed workshops for pharmacy students just before they enter the profession can help prepare them for the wide spectrum of smoking patients they are likely to encounter and better equip them with strategies to help these patients stop smoking. Given that previous studies have indicated that the nature of interventions delivered to smokers by pharmacists is associated with the pharmacists' knowledge and attitudes about smoking cessation, 28,29 workshops such as the SCIP have an important priming role.…”

Objective. To develop, implement, and evaluate a targeted educational intervention focusing on smoking cessation with final-year undergraduate pharmacy students. Design. A smoking-cessation educational workshop entitled Smoking Cessation in Pharmacy (SCIP) was designed on the principles of adult learning and implemented with a full cohort of final-year undergraduate pharmacy students at the University of Sydney. A previously validated questionnaire testing the knowledge and attitudes of respondents was administered both before and after implementation of the designed workshop to evaluate changes resulting from the intervention. Informal feedback was obtained from students. Assessment. Pre-course mean total knowledge and attitude scores calculated were 65.869.1 and 86.4612.1, respectively. The post-course mean total knowledge score was 74.968.1, and the attitude score was 88.869.1 Improvement in knowledge and attitudes was significant (p,0.05). Conclusion. Educational interventions for pharmacy students designed with careful attention to pedagogic principles can improve knowledge about evidence-based smoking-cessation strategies and enhance positive attitudes to pharmacist roles in smoking cessation.

“…Our study focused not on assessing knowledge (a necessary but not sufficient factor predicting behavior change) but on assessing self-efficacy for counseling, which in our prior research has been shown to be a primary predictor of the number of patients counseled in practice. 26 The American Association of Colleges of Pharmacy 2004 Center for the Advancement of Pharmaceutical Education (CAPE) Education Outcomes specified the importance of training doctor of pharmacy students to promote disease prevention, 27 indicating a need for students to understand tobacco dependence and treatment. Availability of this course, which won the Purdue University Award for Excellence in Distance Learning in 2007, provided pharmacy faculty with an additional resource for achieving the targeted CAPE outcomes.…”

Objective. To implement and evaluate the impact of a semester-long, online, 1-credit elective course designed to promote tobacco cessation counseling proficiency among health professions students. Design. Online technology was used to create an elective course devoted to tobacco cessation, modeled closely after the Rx for Change curriculum. Students from pharmacy, nursing, and other health disciplines enrolled in the course. Assessment. Students completed pretraining and posttraining survey instruments that assessed their self-reported skills and ability to counsel patients for tobacco cessation. Overall ability to counsel for tobacco cessation and each of the ''5 A's'' approach for comprehensive counseling (ask, advise, assess, assist, arrange) increased significantly from pretraining to posttraining (p , 0.001). Self-efficacy also increased from 2.2 to 4.1 (p , 0.001; on a 5-point scale). Conclusion. This study demonstrated that an online tobacco cessation course improved studentreported ability and skills to counsel patients on tobacco cessation.

“…Section 3, self-efficacy, included 10 questions measuring pharmacy students' confidence in tobacco cessation counseling. It was adapted from previous study (Hudmon et al, 2006) to match with Indonesia situation. Responses on this part were scored on 4-pointed likert scale (1=not very confident; 2=not confident; 3=quite confident; and 4=very confident).…”
