Summary

* Background:\*\* Brief tobacco intervention (BTI) is a key component in addressing the tobacco pandemic. The WHO recommends incorporating specific training on tobacco dependence and cessation into the curricula of health professionals. In studies published on smoking cessation training for nursing students, debriefing is used as a key tool.
* Objectives:\*\* To determine the effectiveness of debriefing following an objective evaluation of BTI training in nursing students and to assess its impact at 3 and 9 months.
* Design:\*\* Randomized controlled clinical trial with block randomization to evaluate the debriefing intervention versus no debriefing, with follow-up measurements taken five times over a period of 9 months.
* Participants:\*\* The study was conducted with second-year nursing students at the University of Murcia, Spain, during the 2021-2023 academic years.
* Methods:\*\* Both the experimental group (EG) and the control group (CG) received BTI training according to the 5 As and 5 Rs model in a brief 2.5-hour format in groups of 13-16 students. The data collection protocol was similar in both the EG and CG, with 5 measurements taken, always following the viewing of the 3 problem-solving videos and evaluating learning through the BTI-St®. The baseline measurement was taken before the BTI training (T0), followed by another measurement after students in both groups received BTI training in primary care (T1). Subsequently, in the experimental group, an expert instructor conducted a structured debriefing of approximately 10-15 minutes for each clinical scenario, while the control group received no additional intervention. At the end of the first day, all participants viewed the videos and completed the tool again (T2). At three and nine months, students viewed the videos and measurements were taken at T3 and T4, respectively. A two-factor repeated measures ANOVA was used to analyze intra-subject and inter-subject differences.

Debriefing

In the experimental group, an expert instructor conducted a structured debriefing lasting about 10-15 minutes for each clinical scenario, while in the control group, no additional intervention was provided. The debriefing used in this study has the following characteristics: brief (≤ 15 minutes), educator present, educator experienced in debriefing, focused on healthcare management or decision-making, and used the Plus-Delta method, where participants are asked to reflect on the simulation event and assess their performance by identifying what went well and areas for improvement.
