Brief Summary: This research aims to assess the impact of instant messaging reinforcement on the learning outcomes of smoking cessation counseling SCC training among master of nursing MN students at the University of Hong Kong The hypotheses suggest that this reinforcement can enhance students SCC knowledge and techniques improve their perception of SCC and increase their application of SCC in clinical work

The study is a pragmatic randomized controlled trial RCT with a 11 allocation ratio using WhatsApp Messenger WhatsApp messages for intervention and control groups The intervention group receives messages related to SCC while the control group receives generic mental health information The subjects are MN students enrolled in the Tobacco Dependency Nursing Intervention and Management course

The study uses various tools for measurement including Ecological momentary assessment EMA and Providers Smoking Cessation Training Evaluation ProSCiTE The main outcome measures include SCC practice frequency SCC knowledge score SCC attitude score and SCC practice score

Data analysis will be performed in Statistical Package for the Social Sciences SPSS using descriptive statistics intention-to-treat analysis Chi-square and t-tests Cohens d for effect size and linear mixed models The expected results suggest that instant messaging reinforcement will enhance SCC knowledge attitude and practice among MN students
Detailed Description: This study aims to evaluate the efficacy of instant messaging reinforcement on the learning outcomes of smoking cessation counseling SCC training among master of nursing MN students at the University of Hong Kong

Hypotheses to be tested 1 Instant messaging reinforcement can increase MN students mastery of SCC knowledge and techniques 2 Instant messaging reinforcement can increase MN students positive perception towards SCC and their willingness to provide SCC in their clinical work 3 Instant messaging reinforcement can increase MN students SCC practice ie the frequency at which they perform Ask Advise Assess Assist and Arrange 5As during their clinical work

Design and subjects This proposed study is a 2-arm placebo-control pragmatic randomized controlled trial RCT with a 11 allocation ratio The intervention involves sending reinforcement WhatsApp messages to participants To ensure that the subjects do not know their assigned group the investigators also sent WhatsApp messages to the control group but these messages are unrelated to smoking cessation counseling The targeted subjects are MN students who are taking the course Tobacco Dependency Nursing Intervention and Management NURS8205 in the spring semester of 2024 The course mentioned would be attended by all students regardless of their participation in this study

Intervention group 3 WhatsApp messages per week for six weeks after course training These messages are about the core content of the course developed based on the Knowledge-Attitude-Practice KAP model

Control group WhatsApp messages about generic mental health information with the same frequency and schedule as the intervention group

Instruments Ecological momentary assessment EMA measurement of SCC practice frequency Providers Smoking Cessation Training Evaluation ProSCiTE Self-compiled questionnaire on SCC knowledge Self-compiled baseline questionnaire

Main outcome measures 1 MN students SCC practice frequency measured by EMA 2 MN students SCC knowledge score measured by self-compiled questionnaire 3 MN students SCC attitude score measured by attitude subscale of Providers Smoking Cessation Training Evaluation ProSCiTE 4 MN students SCC practice score measured by behavior subscale of Providers Smoking Cessation Training Evaluation ProSCiTE

Data analysis Data analysis will be conducted in SPSS for Windows version 20 using descriptive statistics frequency percentage mean to summarize outcomes and variables Intention-to-treat analysis will handle participants lost to follow-up as no change Outcome comparisons between groups will utilize Chi-square and t-tests calculating Cohens d for effect size Linear mixed models will evaluate intervention effects on KAP considering multiple observations and data clustering within subjects SCC practice frequency as measured by EMA will be analyzed at between- and within-person levels using the xtcenter module exploring associations with outcomes simultaneously

Expected results Instant messaging will improve MN students SCC knowledge and skills positive attitude toward providing SCC and eventually increase their SCC practice frequency in their clinical practice
