Outcome measures
Primary outcome
adherence to the STIMEDIC smoking cessation guideline among practice nurses
Secondary outcome
Point prevalence smoking abstinence and number of quit attempts among counseled smokers.
Predictors of changes in STIMEDIC adherence on a micro, meso and macro level.
The influence of PNs’ forum communication on changes in STIMEDIC adherence.
Background summary
Smoking cessation advice from the general practice leads to significant effects on cessation rates. Adherence to smoking cessation guidelines by practice nurses is often suboptimal in primary care. Computer tailoring is an effective way to influence the determinants that predict adherence. The goal is to develop and test a computer-tailored e-learning intervention for practice nurses to improve their adherence to STIMEDIC, a recently disseminated but underused Dutch smoking cessation guideline.
Study objective
Computer tailoring is an effective way to influence the determinants that predict adherence. One of practice nurses’ main tasks is to counsel patients wanting to change their lifestyle; therefore it is hypothesized that at baseline most practice nurses already adhere to at least 1 of the 7 STIMEDIC steps (provide quit advice). Due to measurement effects we expect an increase in adherence in the control group to adherence to 2 steps, while we estimate that the web-based computer-tailored intervention will yield adherence to 4 steps.
