<title>Objectives</title>
<p>This study was conducted to evaluate whether a “smoking cessation intervention” education program based on blended learning, was effective in improving nursing students’ perceived competence and motivation to perform a smoking cessation intervention for smokers.</p></sec>
<sec>
<title>Methods</title>
<p>A quasi-experimental, pretest–posttest design was conducted. The smoking cessation intervention education program based on blended learning, was administered to the experimental group (<italic>n</italic> = 23) in 5 sessions, consisting of 2 courses of an e-learning program and 1 course of a face-to-face learning program per session. The control group (<italic>n</italic> = 21) received the opportunity to participate in an e-learning program as well as receiving material of a face-to-face learning program, after completion of the smoking cessation intervention education program.</p></sec>
<sec>
<title>Results</title>
<p>The experimental group showed significant differences in autonomous motivation (<italic>t</italic> = −6.982, <italic>p</italic> < 0.001), controlled motivation (<italic>t</italic> = −3.729, <italic>p</italic> = 0.001), and perceived competence compared to the control group (<italic>t</italic> = −3.801, <italic>p</italic> < 0.001).</p></sec>
<sec>
<title>Conclusion</title>
<p>This study showed that a smoking cessation intervention education program adopting blended learning, was significantly effective in enhancing nursing students’ autonomous motivation and perceived competence to conduct a smoking cessation intervention. Further studies are needed to confirm longitudinal effects of this program.</p></sec>

Objectives
Nurses have been identified as an instrumental partner in tobacco reduction. This study aimed to examine factors affecting Korean nurses' intention to implement smoking cessation intervention in Busan, Korea. Methods
The participants were a total of 215 Korean registered nurses. A self-administered questionnaire evaluated predisposing factors, motivational factors (attitude, social influence, and self-efficacy) and intention to implement smoking cessation intervention. Data were analyzed by <i>t</i> tests, Pearson's correlation, and hierarchical multiple regression. Results
The mean age of the participants was 28.12 ± 5.72 years. The majority of the participants were staff nurses (85.6%), and 64.2% of the sample had < 5 years of work experience. Significant predictors of intention to implement smoking cessation intervention included perceived barrier of smoking cessation intervention (β = −0.128, <i>p</i> = 0.023), willingness to receive smoking cessation training (β = 0.123, <i>p</i> = 0.034), more positive attitude (β = 0.203, <i>p</i> = 0.002), higher social influence (β = 0.292, <i>p</i> < 0.001), and higher self-efficacy toward smoking cessation intervention (β = 0.151, <i>p</i> = 0.021), which explained 45% of the total variance of intention to implement smoking cessation intervention. Conclusion
Attitude, social influence, and self-efficacy towards smoking cessation intervention had a significant positive influence in determining the intention to implement smoking cessation intervention. These findings can be used to develop evidence-based smoking cessation training programs for nurses in Korea. The programs should aim for positive attitude, higher social influence, and higher self-efficacy in hospital settings.
