“…In the present study, only one-fifth (20.4%) of the students reported high self-efficacy for smoking cessation counseling due to education received from the medical school. In relation to education methods, about one-third of the students reported high self-efficacy in the blended learning group (15.3% in the lecture-based learning group), which was similar to the results of surveys conducted in Korea, Europe and Canada ( Richmond et al, 2009 ; Kim, Issenberg & Roh, 2020 ; Bender et al, 2021 ). In contrast to the results of this study, even in a group that received classic lecture-based education in a randomized comparative study conducted in the United States ( Caplan, Stout & Blumenthal, 2011 ), nearly half of the students showed high self-efficacy in smoking cessation counseling techniques and more than half in counseling of nicotine replacement therapy ( Ockene et al, 2016 ).…”

Background Medical students need to receive training in providing smoking cessation counseling to provide effective smoking cessation interventions to smokers when they become doctors. This study examined the smoking cessation education curricula and factors affecting counseling self-efficacy (CSE) in smoking cessation treatment among medical students. Methods In a multicenter cross-sectional study, we obtained demographic information, personal history of tobacco use and intention to quit smoking, exposure to secondhand smoke in the school premises during the past week, the experience of learning about tobacco in each medical school, tobacco-related medical knowledge, and self-efficacy in smoking cessation counseling on medical students of four Korean medical schools. Results Among 1,416 medical students eligible, 313 (22.1%) students completed a self-administered questionnaire. Only 20.3% of the students reported positive CSE on smoking cessation. The factors affecting positive CSE were scores of ≥ 60 on tobacco-related medical knowledge, smoking experience, and blended learning (p = 0.014, 0.005, and 0.015, respectively). Conclusion This study shows that high scores in tobacco-related medical knowledge and blended learning are correlated with positive CSE for smoking cessation counseling.

Neglected Needs of Family Caregivers during the COVID-19 Pandemic and What They Need Now: A Qualitative Study

et al. 2021

COVID-19 has had a negative impact on family caregivers, whether the care receivers lived with the caregiver, in a separate community home, in supportive living, or in long-term care. This qualitative study examines the points of view of family caregivers who care in diverse settings. Family caregivers were asked to describe what could have been done to support them during the COVID-19 pandemic and to suggest supports they need in the future as the pandemic wanes. Thorne’s interpretive qualitative methodology was employed to examine current caregiver concerns. Thirty-two family caregivers participated. Family caregivers thought the under-resourced, continuing care system delayed pandemic planning, and that silos in health and community systems made caregiving more difficult. Family caregivers want their roles to be recognized in policy, and they cite the need for improvements in communication and navigation. The growth in demand for family caregivers and their contributions to the healthcare system make it critical that the family caregiver role be recognized in policy, funding, and practice.

“…There was a diverse variation in the mode of delivery and duration of educational input. Different courses have been identified using educational input following or adapting previously published The "course delivery mode" presented blended learning [25], distance learning [21], one-on-one training sessions [22], [24], [26], [27], [29], and a mix of presentation and group work [23]. Duration has been inconsistent with the number of hours throughout the different courses; the length of study session attendance ranged from 45 min to 4 h. Face-to-face sessions or placements presented an unknown extent.…”

Background: Living with cancer causes stress for both patients and caregivers. Empowering family caregivers is critical in palliative care. It is well known that a lack of proper knowledge and training of informal caregivers is a barrier to palliative care provision at home. Objectives: This scoping review aimed to explore palliative care education to enhance informal caregiver skills in caring for cancer patient. Methods: A scoping literature review was conducted with systematic searches in multiple databases – PubMed, Cochrane, PsycINFO and SCOPUS (2000 to 2021). Studies were selected based on programmes content and its impact evaluation. Findings: The remaining 181 citations were examined at full-text level; 173 studies did not meet inclusion criteria, yielding eight included papers. Four papers focused on palliative care educational programs for family caregivers, and four papers included patients and caregivers. There was a diverse variation in the mode of delivery and duration of educational input. The programs offered an insight into the main elements of working with individuals at a palliative care bundle. Most studies reported that participants improved their knowledge, self-efficacy, and competency and prepared for their roles. Conclusion: The findings indicate the need of family caregivers for more regular and reliable palliative education programs. Randomized controlled trials with rigorous randomization processes, more significant sample numbers and more appropriate control groups focused explicitly on caregiver education may improve the evidence.
