DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): In the United States, it is estimated that approximately 43 percent of children under the age of 5 are exposed to Environmental Tobacco Smoke (ETS) either in the home or in public. There is mounting evidence that childhood exposure to ETS can have pervasive and lasting effects on an individual's health throughout the lifespan. The best described effect of exposure to ETS in children is an increased incidence of respiratory diseases, documented by pulmonary function impairment, increased emergency and physician's visits, as well as hospitalization rates. When children are hospitalized with respiratory illnesses, respiratory nurses are presented with a clinical opportunity to encourage parental smokers to give up tobacco. Studies have demonstrated the viability of using nurses to help patients quit, yet the majority of health professionals cite lack of training as a barrier to providing these services. There is a need for disseminable, empirically-validated tobacco education to encourage and assist nurses in intervening with tobacco-using family members. Interactive computer-based programs can meet this need. We propose to develop an interactive Internet-based program, WeBREATHe (Web-Based Respiratory Education About Tobacco and Health), to train pediatric nurses and respiratory therapists to provide brief, hospital-based tobacco cessation interventions to patients' families. During Phase I, we will develop and evaluate a prototype program specifically aimed at respiratory therapists and nurses specializing in the care of pediatric patients with respiratory diseases. The prototype will be developed with input from 2 focus groups of respiratory therapists, nurses, and educators. A prototype (Alpha version) of the interactive training program, containing elements of video, audio, text, graphics and interactive programming will be delivered via the internal website at Cincinnati Children's Hospital Medical Center to 25 respiratory therapists and 25 nurses. Outcomes will be evaluated using a pre-/post-assessment of respiratory therapists' and nurses' attitudes, knowledge, perceived barriers, and consumer satisfaction. Our team has extensive experience in developing tobacco education for health care workers, producing interactive training programs, creating and evaluating Internet- based health applications, and delivering comprehensive family-centered care to the pediatric patient and parent, uniquely qualifying us to conduct the proposed research.

描述（由申请人提供）：在美国，据估计，5岁以下的儿童中，约有43％的儿童在家里或公共场合暴露于环境烟草烟雾（ETS）。有越来越多的证据表明，童年时期对ETS的暴露会对整个生命周期内的健康产生普遍和持久的影响。儿童接触ETS的最佳描述的影响是呼吸道疾病的发病率增加，肺功能障碍，急诊和医生的就诊和医生的就诊以及住院率增加。当儿童患有呼吸道疾病时，呼吸护士会有临床机会，以鼓励父母吸烟者放弃烟草。研究表明，使用护士帮助患者退出的生存能力，但大多数卫生专业人员认为缺乏培训是提供这些服务的障碍。有必要进行可见的，经验验证的烟草教育，以鼓励和协助护士干预使用烟草的家庭成员。基于交互式计算机的程序可以满足这一需求。我们建议开发一个基于互联网的互动程序Webreathe（基于Web的呼吸道教育，涉及烟草和健康），以培训儿科护士和呼吸治疗师，以向患者的家庭提供简短的，基于医院的烟草戒烟干预措施。在第一阶段，我们将制定和评估专门针对呼吸治疗师和护士专门护理儿科患者呼吸道疾病患者的原型计划。该原型将通过来自呼吸治疗师，护士和教育者的两个焦点小组的投入来开发。互动培训计划的原型（Alpha版），其中包含视频，音频，文本，图形和互动编程的元素，将通过辛辛那提儿童医院医疗中心的内部网站交付给25名呼吸治疗师和25名护士。将使用呼吸治疗师和护士的态度，知识，感知障碍和消费者满意度的呼吸治疗师和护士的态度和消费者满意度来评估结果。我们的团队在为医护人员开发烟草教育，制定互动培训计划，创建和评估基于Internet的健康应用程序，并向儿科患者和父母提供全面的以家庭为中心的护理方面，拥有丰富的经验，并为我们提供了独特的资格进行拟议的研究。
