“…The Kirkpatrick Model is an internationally accepted standard model for evaluating the impact of adult training and development programs [ 54 ]. It has been widely applied in the health sector, including for evaluations of screening, brief intervention and referral to treatment (SBIRT) programs [ 55 ], and in Indigenous contexts, for example, in a systematic review of the impact of Indigenous health curricula on health professional learners [ 56 ].…”

Queensland’s B.strong brief intervention training program was a complex intervention developed for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander health workers to assist clients address multiple health risks of smoking, poor nutrition and physical inactivity. This study evaluates program effectiveness by applying the Kirkpatrick four-level evaluation model: (1) Reaction, participants’ satisfaction; (2) Learning, changes in participants’ knowledge, confidence, attitudes, skills and usual practice; (3) Behaviour, application of learning to practice; and (4) Results, outcomes resulting from training. A retrospective analysis was conducted on data for respondents completing pre-training, post-workshop and follow-up surveys. Changes in domains such as training participant knowledge, confidence, attitudes, and practices between survey times were assessed using paired-samples t-tests. From 2017–2019, B.strong trained 1150 health professionals, reaching targets for workshop and online training. Findings showed statistically significant improvements from baseline to follow-up in: participants’ knowledge, confidence, and some attitudes to conducting brief interventions in each domain of smoking cessation, nutrition and physical activity; and in the frequency of participants providing client brief interventions in each of the three domains. There was a statistically significant improvement in frequency of participants providing brief interventions for multiple health behaviours at the same time from pre-workshop to follow-up. Indigenous Queenslander telephone counselling referrals for smoking cessation increased during the program period. B.strong improved practitioners’ capacity to deliver brief interventions addressing multiple health risks with Indigenous clients.

“…At the end of the semester, researchers reported that stigma had decreased, and attitudes improved toward working with individuals who misuse alcohol or drugs (Mahmoud et al, 2018). Additionally, Puskar et al (2013) (Cook et al, 2018). Faculty threaded SBIRT through the undergraduate curriculum; role play was employed to practice therapeutic communication and SBIRT skills.…”

“…Despite evidence on the effectiveness of SBIRT, research about integrating it into undergraduate nursing curricula is limited. The University of Colorado College of Nursing added SBIRT to the undergraduate and graduate nursing curricula through a federally funded SBIRT training program (Cook et al, ). Faculty threaded SBIRT through the undergraduate curriculum; role play was employed to practice therapeutic communication and SBIRT skills.…”

Objective The purpose of this paper is to report on the implementation and evaluation of a Screening, Brief Intervention and Referral to Treatment (SBIRT) educational program into an undergraduate nursing curriculum and to recommend modifications for future trainings. Design and Sample A one‐group pre‐test/post‐test design was used. The sample consisted of senior level undergraduate nursing students. Measures Core knowledge, perceived competency, and program satisfaction were measured. Process evaluation activities were performed to gather feedback on the training and solicit ideas and recommendations for improvement. Results Of the 354 nursing students enrolled in the training, 249 (70%) participated in the research portion, with 240 (96%) completed the pre‐ and post‐training evaluations. All four core knowledge components and 13 perceived competency indicators were statistically significant (p ≤ .001) when comparing pre‐ and post‐t test values. Process evaluation data collected through 25 telephone interviews found that the training improved the students’ confidence and ability to screen for substance misuse with patients. Conclusion Findings support the implementation of SBIRT training into an undergraduate nursing curriculum. Modifications for future training and research are proposed.

“…Nurses are well-equipped and positioned to deliver SBIRT interventions. While training strategies have been developed and are feasible across a variety of settings (Mitchell et al, 2017;Cook et al, 2018), several challenges remain for SBIRT in nursing, including inadequate training and knowledge, an absence of implementation and workflow protocols, concerns about the time needed to deliver interventions, a lack of common data elements in the electronic medical record (EMR), role ambiguity, and reimbursement policies (Wamsley et al, 2018). As part of a waitlist randomized cluster trial for implementation of SBIRT in a large Midwestern…”

Screening, Brief Intervention, and Referral to Treatment: Nurses Helping Colorado Training Program

Abstract: When SBIRT training was woven through nursing curricula, students demonstrated learning and used these methods in practice after graduation. SBIRT education is appropriate across the lifespan and across settings in nursing. [J Nurs Educ. 2018;57(8):476-482.].
