Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
Current primary outcome measure as of 01/06/2020: Score of intention to provide brief counseling for smoking, diet, and adherence to drug treatment (continuous score of 5 to 35 for each risk factor divided by 3) in participants between baseline (-T1) and follow-up (T4). This will be measured using the Brief Counseling Nursing Practices Questionnaire - Abridged Version based on the Theory of Planned Behavior to explain sociocognitive predictors that will influence nurses' and nursing students’ clinical practice. This questionnaire adapted from the PIPECT developed and validated by Lepage, Champagne. The questionnaire consists of 48 items related to sociocognitive determinants of brief behavioral change counseling (48 items, 7 subscales, Cronbach alphas ranging from 0.70 to 0.92). _____ Previous primary outcome measure: Score of intention to implement brief counseling for smoking, diet, and adherence to drug treatment (continuous score of 5 to 35 for each risk factor divided by 3) in nurses between baseline (-T1) and follow-up (T4, i.e. 41 to 50 days after the beginning of the training). This will be measured using the Brief Counseling Nursing Practices Questionnaire based on the Theory of Planned Behavior to explain sociocognitive predictors that will influence nurses' clinical practice. This questionnaire adapted from the PIPECT developed and validated by Lepage, Champagne. The questionnaire consists of 90 items divided into two sections: self-reported implementation of brief behavior change counseling (42 items, 3 subscales, internal consistency not applicable); sociocognitive determinants of brief behavioral change counseling (48 items, 7 subscales, Cronbach alphas ranging from 0.70 to 0.92).

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
Current secondary outcome measures as of 01/06/2020: 1. Score of attitudes regarding brief counseling (continuous score of 6 to 42) in nurses and nursing students from baseline (-T1) to follow-up (T4) 2. Score of subjective norms regarding brief counseling (continuous score of 4 to 28) in nurses and nursing students from baseline (-T1) to follow-up (T4) 3. Perceived behavioral control score for brief counseling (continuous score of 7 to 49) in nurses and nursing students from baseline (-T1) to follow-up (T4) 4. Score of behavioral beliefs regarding brief counseling (continuous score of -15 to 15) in nurses and nursing students from baseline (-T1) to follow-up (T4) 5. Score of normative beliefs regarding brief counseling (continuous score of -18 to 18) in nurses and nursing students from baseline (-T1) to follow-up (T4) 6. Score of control beliefs regarding brief counseling (continuous score of -18 to 18) in nurses and nursing students from baseline (-T1) to follow-up (T4) 7. Intrinsic load score (continuous score of 0 to 10) in nurses and nursing students at follow-up (T4) measured using the French version of the Cognitive Load Index (CCI) consisting of 10 items distributed across three subscales to measure different types of cognitive load: intrinsic load (3 items, alpha 0.83); extrinsic load (3 items, alpha 0.70) and essential load (4 items, alpha 0.96) 8. Extrinsic load score (continuous score from 0 to 10) in nurses and nursing students at follow-up (T4) measured using the French version of the Cognitive Load Index (CCI) consisting of 10 items distributed across three subscales to measure different types of cognitive load: intrinsic load (3 items, alpha 0.83); extrinsic load (3 items, alpha 0.70) and essential load (4 items, alpha 0.96) 9.
