To evaluate the effects of training in methods of preventing childhood obesity on self-efficacy (SE) in nurses.In a randomized, controlled trial conducted in child health services in Sweden, nurses in the intervention and control groups of the PRIMROSE prevention trial of childhood obesity were offered a 5-day workshop on dietary and physical activity interventions, and motivational interviewing. Self-efficacy for influencing parents to promote healthy dietary and physical activity behaviors in their children was measured using an 18-item instrument. Difference in SE between groups at post-assessment was analyzed using multiple linear regression analysis.Compared to control nurses (n = 38), intervention nurses (n = 22) demonstrated higher SE (β = 14.70, P < .001).Training in methods of preventing childhood obesity increased SE in nurses. Self-efficacy should be included as a construct in evaluations of clinical training.
