Abstract:
Objective To compare the impact of tobacco control curriculum on self-efficacy of tobacco control in different major of public health students, and offer theoretical foundation for improving tobacco control curriculum.Methods We offered tobacco control curriculum for 150 public health students (including students of preventive medicine and public service administration research direction) in medical university of Harbin, and investigated twice general self-efficacy, smoking selfefficacy and tobacco control self-efficacy before and after tobacco control curriculum, then compared intervention effects between two major students by t test.Results There were no differences of tobacco control self-efficacy, smoking self-efficacy and general self-efficacy between two major students, t values were-0.832 (P=0.407), 0.190 (P=0.849) and-0.492 (P=0.624).The tobacco control self-efficacy (t=-3.566, P=0.001) and general self-efficacy (t=-2.237, P=0.028) increased remarkably but smoking self-efficacy (t=-1.102, P=0.273) in preventive medicine students after intervention.And all of three kinds of self-efficacy were not gotten better by intervention in public service administration students.There was no obvious difference of intervention effects between tobacco control self-efficacy and general self-efficacy among preventive medicine students (t=1.541, P=0.125).Conclusions The improvement of preventive medicine students by tobacco control curriculum is better than that of public service administration students.We should further perfect the tobacco control course, and on the one hand, improve the intervention effect of students majoring in course of public health management;on the other hand, strengthen the target effects of the tobacco control curriculum to students' tobacco control self-efficacy and smoking self-efficacy.
