Summary
A virtual simulation-based smoking cessation counseling education program (VSCCEP) significantly boosted nursing students' motivation and competence. This innovative approach enhances practical skills for tobacco cessation interventions.
Area of Science:
- Nursing Education
- Public Health
- Digital Health
Background:
- Smoking remains a critical preventable health risk.
- Nurses are key in smoking cessation support.
- Nursing curricula often lack smoking cessation counseling training.
Purpose of the Study:
- To develop a virtual simulation for smoking cessation counseling education.
- To enhance nursing students' motivation and competence in smoking cessation counseling.
- To evaluate the effectiveness of the virtual simulation-based smoking cessation counseling education program (VSCCEP).
Main Methods:
- A quasi-experimental, nonequivalent control group, nonconcurrent pretest-posttest design was employed.
- The VSCCEP was developed using the ADDIE model with essential tobacco cessation content.
- Third-year nursing students (39 in the experimental group, 36 in the control group) participated.
Main Results:
- The experimental group showed statistically significant increases in autonomous motivation (p=.002) and control motivation (p=.001) for smoking cessation counseling.
- Perceived competence in cessation counseling significantly increased in the experimental group (p<.001).
- While both groups improved, the experimental group's gains in motivation and competence were significantly greater than the control group's.
Conclusions:
- The developed VSCCEP is effective in improving nursing students' motivation and perceived competence in tobacco cessation counseling.
- Integrating virtual simulation programs strengthens practical counseling skills for nursing students.
- This approach supports the development of practice-ready nurses for tobacco cessation interventions.

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.

1.1K
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...

Stimulants are substances that enhance neural activity and elevate dopamine levels in the brain, leading to their highly addictive nature. These drugs include cocaine, amphetamines, MDMA, caffeine, and nicotine, each with distinct mechanisms of action and varied health implications.
Cocaine can be administered via snorting, injection, or smoking. It primarily functions by blocking the reuptake of dopamine, resulting in a euphoric high characterized by an intense sensation of happiness and...

There are several characteristics related to delivering nursing care. One vital characteristic of the nursing process is that it can be used to protect nurses and justify the provided care. Productive use of the nursing process requires the knowledge and skills of nurses to assess and solve issues. Nurses should develop and strengthen their critical thinking skills and evidence-based nursing interventions to improve their skills in formulating nursing care plans. A well-defined approach to...
