Abstract
The purpose of this study was to examine an evidence-based smoking cessation education program effect on nursing students' perceptions and self-confidence to help smokers quit smoking.
Upon completion of an on-line educational program students were provided opportunities to practice through simulation. Data were collected by pre and post assessment tools for the online-education and by a post assessment tool for the simulation.
110 senior nursing students participated in this study. Students' confidence in their overall ability to assist smokers to quit smoking was statistically significant compared to baseline (t=4.09, p<.001). Students self-rated higher levels of smoking cessation skills on Advising, Assessing, Assisting, and Arranging compared to baseline (p<0.00).
Integration of evidence-based didactic and practical smoking cessation program into curricula improves nursing students' clinical skills in helping smokers to quit.
