Psycho Brief Advice for Nursing Students in Smoking Cessation

Abstract

Psycho Brief Advice is the process of counseling which introduces the concept of humanistic psychological counseling to provide advice to people. The Psycho Advice Brief consists of 5A’s (Ask, Advise, Assess, Assist, Arrange follow up), 5R’s, (Relevance, Risks, Rewards, Roadblocks, Repetitions), and the motivation to behavioral change. It is a tool used to develop a core of learning and training process for nursing students. This tool for learning occurs as a result of learning and teaching counseling in health to nursing students. This can lead to the development of innovative teaching methods. There are three aspects of learning: the cognitive, the attitude, and the skills domain. In particular, the intention range is the key feature of the nurses who provide counseling services. Through the process of learning, it is evident that students change their attitudes, feelings, interests, and values with respect to human dignity, and the responsibility for their actions. Mental service is the process of understanding yourself and others. Psychosocial counseling can be accessed through using the Psycho Brief Advice, which would result in motivation and decision-making ability. The cognitive skills assessment strengthens the ability to provide Psycho Brief Advice services for instance to youth in motivating them to quit smoking.
