Summary
Simulation-based training significantly improved nursing students' self-efficacy in providing smoking cessation interventions. This approach effectively addresses knowledge and skill gaps in preparing future clinicians for tobacco cessation support.
Area of Science:
- Medical Education
- Public Health
- Nursing Practice
Background:
- Smoking remains a leading preventable cause of premature death from tobacco-related diseases.
- Effective smoking cessation interventions are crucial, yet many clinicians lack adequate training.
- There is a need to enhance nursing students' skills and confidence in delivering smoking cessation support.
Purpose of the Study:
- To describe a simulation-based training program for smoking cessation intervention.
- To evaluate the training's effectiveness on nursing students' self-efficacy in performing smoking cessation interventions.
- To explore nursing students' experiences, attitudes, and perceived barriers related to smoking cessation intervention.
Main Methods:
- A one-group, quasi-experimental study design was employed.
- Simulation-based training focused on the 5-As model for smoking cessation.
- Self-efficacy, attitudes, and perceived barriers were assessed pre- and post-intervention in nursing students.
Main Results:
- The simulation-based training significantly improved nursing students' self-efficacy in seven out of nine assessed smoking cessation skills.
- Students recognized the importance of smoking cessation but identified lack of knowledge and skills as primary barriers.
- Post-intervention mean self-efficacy scores increased significantly (30.86 to 34.05, p=.027).
Conclusions:
- Simulation-based training is an effective method for enhancing nursing students' self-efficacy in delivering smoking cessation interventions.
- This training approach can help bridge the gap between theoretical knowledge and practical application in tobacco cessation.
- Simulation offers a valuable tool for educating future healthcare professionals in vital public health interventions.

01:15Nursing Implementation
Implementation is the execution of the nursing care plan developed during the planning phase.
The five steps to implementing effective nursing care include reassessing the patient, reviewing and revising the existing nursing care plan, organizing the resources and care delivery, anticipating and preventing complications, and implementing nursing interventions.

01:24Nursing Process for Patient and Caregiver Teaching II: Planning and Implementation
Planning for learning involves the development of a teaching plan. Teaching plans are similar to nursing care plans—both follow the steps of the nursing process. Planning in the teaching process involves setting goals and outcomes. Here, goals identify what a patient needs to achieve to understand a healthcare topic better, whereas the outcomes are the action to be performed by the patient to achieve the goal within a timeframe. For example, if the goal is to educate the patient about insulin...

01:29Nursing Interventions II: Selecting and Classifying the Nursing Interventions
Creating and executing a nursing diagnosis helps nurses plan care and guide patient, family, and community interventions. They are developed based on a patient's physical evaluation and support measuring the outcomes. It is not recommended to select random interventions throughout the planning process. Instead, consider the following six essential factors when choosing interventions:
