Development and evaluation of virtual simulation for smoking cessation counseling education program for nursing students.
Article in BMC nursing, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
backgroundSmoking is still a one of the critical preventable factors for human health, Nurses are healthcare providers who can help patients quit smoking. The subject for Smoking cessation counseling is not routinely included in nursing curricula.
methodsThe purpose of this study was to develop a virtual simulation for smoking cessation counseling education for nursing students and to increase the motivation and competence of research participants in smoking cessation counseling intervention. A quasi-experimental, nonequivalent control group, nonconcurrent pretest-posttest design was used to evaluate the effectiveness of the virtual simulation-based smoking cessation counseling education program. The VSCCEP(Virtual simulation-based Smoking Cessation Counseling Education Program) was developed based on the ADDIE model, utilizing the content required for tobacco cessation counseling education. The subjects of this study were third-year nursing students from two universities located in S city included 39 participants in the experimental group and 36 in the control group. The research data were collected from September 30, 2024 to November 5, 2024. We were analyzed using descriptive statistics and the t-test, paired t-tests.
resultsTotal research participants was 76 divided 2 groups. Autonomous motivation for smoking cessation counseling increased statistically significantly in the experimental group before and after VSCCEP (t=-3.33, p = .002), and there was also a statistically significant difference when compared to the control group (t=-2.05, p = .044). There was a statistically significant increase in control motivation for cessation counseling among experimental group subjects before and after VSCCEP (t=-3.67, p = .001) and no statistically significant difference when compared to the control group (t=-1.44, p = .153). Perceived competence in cessation counseling was statistically significantly increased in the experimental group (t=-4.51, p < 001), with a statistically significant increase in the control group (t=-2.58, p = .014), but not statistically significant when compared to the control group (t=-0.99, p = .324).
conclusionThe results of this study confirmed the efficacy of the developed VSCCEP in enhancing nursing students' motivation and perceived competence in tobacco cessation counseling. These findings suggest that integrating virtual simulation programs into nursing education can strengthen practical counseling skills and support the development of autonomous, practice-ready nurses for tobacco cessation interventions.
