| Popis: | Background: Effective smoking cessation interventions (SCIs) are urgently needed for the working population where smoking continues at high rates. Occupational health nurses (OHNs) could be effective in providing SCI, but self-efficacy was found to be a major barrier. The purpose of this study was to improve the delivery of SCI to those who smoke in the workplace and to explore nurse self-efficacy. Methods: Pretest and posttest were conducted on two groups, OHNs ( n = 5) and smokers ( n = 11) working at U.S. manufacturing facilities. OHNs were trained on motivational interviewing (MI) techniques who then recruited smokers to help them practice their newly acquired skills. The two groups were measured by Likert-type scale for OHN self-efficacy and smoker level of change toward quitting. Findings: Paired t-tests detected statistically significant differences in OHN’s preintervention and postintervention self-efficacy scores, t(4) = −4.46, p < .001,; d = 2.92) and smokers’ preintervention and postintervention stage of change toward quitting scores, t(10) = −9.07, p < .001,; d = 2.09), suggesting that the training and MI intervention were effective in increasing OHN self-efficacy and smokers’ motivation to change. Conclusion/Application to Practice: This quality improvement (QI) project indicated smokers can be successfully recruited and counseled using MI techniques, while simultaneously improving OHN self-efficacy toward helping patients. Theory-based applications brought OHNs and smokers together in a new paradigm resulting in positive changes for both. Secondary findings in the reverse nurse–patient role revealed success in an innovative recruitment method for smoking cessation. |
