This quasi-experimental research aimed to investigate the effectiveness of nursing student leaders developing program for smoking prevention based on knowledge about cigarettes and e-cigarettes, attitude towards smoking prevention, self-efficacy towards smoking prevention, and smoking prevention behavior by applying the Information Motivation and Behavioral Skills model (IMB model). The sample consisted of 30 second-year nursing students at Ubon Ratchathani Rajabhat University. The program consisted of four sessions over four weeks. The research instruments included nursing student leaders developing program with a content validity index (IOC) of 0.88. Self-administered questionnaires were employed to examine cigarette and e-cigarette knowledge, attitude towards smoking prevention, self-efficacy towards smoking prevention, and smoking prevention behaviors. Cronbach's alpha coefficient revealed that the reliability of questionnaires were 0.86, 0.89, 0.92, and 0.93, respectively. Descriptive statistics, repeated measure ANOVA, and Bonferroni were employed for data analyses.
The results revealed that nursing students had significantly higher mean scores of knowledge about cigarettes and e-cigarettes, attitude towards smoking prevention, and self-efficacy towards smoking prevention than they did before the experiment (p<.001). However, the difference in mean scores of knowledge about cigarettes and e-cigarettes, attitudes towards smoking prevention, and self-efficacy toward smoking prevention at follow-up and pre-test was not found (p >.05). Nursing students had significantly higher mean scores of smoking prevention behaviors at the post-test and at follow-up than those at the pre-test (p >.05).
The results of this study suggest that the program should have continuous stimulating activities to increase knowledge about cigarettes and e-cigarettes, attitudes towards smoking prevention, self-efficacy toward smoking prevention, and smoking prevention behaviors.
