Critique of the Study by Sohn and Colleagues, “Simulation-based smoking cessation intervention education for undergraduate nursing students”
In this paper, Sohn and colleagues (2011) study Simulation-based smoking cessation intervention education for undergraduate nursing students will be critiqued with the assistance of Loiselle and Profetto-McGrath’s (2011) book Canadian Essentials of Nursing Research.
Title
The title of the article is clear and concise. It is only ten words long and clearly states the nature of the study. The population under study is identified, and the issue being considered is included in the title as well. All of these factors contribute in making the title of the article effective.

The abstract in this research report is 243 words, which is slightly lengthier than an abstract should be. It may have been more effective to organize the information under headings such as, “Background, Objectives, Method, Results, Conclusions, and Key Words” (Loiselle & Profetto-McGrath, 2011, p. 58), instead of clumping the information into one dense paragraph that is difficult to read.
Introduction
Statement Problem
The problem statement is evidently specified in the introduction of the research article when the authors write, “despite the educational importance of smoking cessation intervention, the training provided to nursing students is inadequate for the daily reality of patient care. Many nursing schools provide education about health effects of smoking, yet few teach how to help smokers to quit” (Sohn, Ahn, Park & Lee, 2011, p. 868). This problem is significant in nursing as better education can help nurses improve the quality of health care provided to the public. The authors state, “More than half of the students indicated that they encountered
