Data were collected by pre and post assessment tools for the online-education and by a post assessment tool for the simulation.Results110 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).ConclusionIntegration of evidence-based didactic and practical smoking cessation program into curricula improves nursing students' clinical skills in helping smokers to quit.Copyright © 2012 Elsevier Ltd.
