摘要
Smoking is one of the most important preventable risk factors that contributes to premature death from many tobacco-related diseases. Clinicians should offer and provide effective smoking cessation interventions to their smoking patients. Yet, few clinicians receive training in smoking cessation intervention. This one-group, quasi-experimental study was conducted to describe a simulation-based training of smoking cessation intervention and to evaluate its effectiveness on nursing students%26apos; self-efficacy in performing smoking cessation intervention, based on 5-As recommended by the United States Department of Health and Human Services. In addition, nursing students%26apos; experience, attitude and perceived barriers of smoking cessation intervention were also described. Among the 21 students (mean age: 21.6 +/- 2.0 years), 86% were female, 62% were in their third year and 1% were current smokers. Most of students believed the health benefits of smoking cessation (100.0-66.7%) and were well educated about health risks of smoking (81.0-61.9%). However, few were taught (33.3-14.4%) and practiced (28.6-0.0%) smoking cessation intervention. Students reported that they should be actively involved in smoking cessation for patients (100.0-95.2%), but lack of knowledge and skills were the main barriers (90.5-85.7%). The simulation-based training of smoking cessation intervention improved nursing students%26apos; self-efficacy in seven out of nine skills of smoking cessation intervention (mean scores of pre- vs. post-intervention: 30.86 +/- 3.80 vs. 34.05 +/- 5.10; paired t = 2298, p = .027). These findings indicate that simulation could be effectively used in teaching smoking cessation intervention education delivered to nursing students.
