Abstract
This tool is based on a 2022 practice-improvement project incorporating an evidence-based tobacco and nicotine dependence treatment curriculum into North Dakota State University’s (NDSU) Doctor of Nursing Practice (DNP) program. This tool is intended as a guide for educational institutions or providers to incorporate into their curriculums to improve provider competencies and patient outcomes.
After completion of the tool, the students’ (a) motivation and confidence in helping people quit tobacco and (b) comfort with providing information about cessation medications, programs and services, and referrals for evidence-based tobacco cessation increased dramatically from pre-education to 2.5 months post-education for all questions.
