In nursing, self-efficacy is quite critical for skill performance. Some factors might influence and predict self-efficacy in nurses. Thus, the present study aimed to investigate self-efficacy and the factors predicting nurses' self-efficacy in clinical setting.
In this cross-sectional study, 264 nurses were selected from five hospitals affiliated to Shiraz University of Medical Sciences by stratified random sampling. General Self-efficacy Scale (GSE) was used to assess a general sense of perceived self-efficacy. The data were analyzed using one-way analysis of variance (ANOVA) and multiple regression analysis.
The mean of self-efficacy in all the nurses was 29.78 [Standard Deviation (SD) = 5.82]. Moreover, the self-efficacy of the nurses with diploma, bachelor's, and master's degrees was 32.22 (SD = 6.21), 29.33 (SD = 5.68), and 32.00 (SD = 6.00), respectively. In addition, a significant difference was found between the nurses with bachelor's and diploma degrees regarding their self-efficacy (P = 0.01). Also, a significant relationship was found between self-efficacy and willingness to work in the nursing unit (F = 3.31, P = 0.01) and interest in the nursing field (F = 2.43, P = 0.04). The nurses who had more than 16 years of working experience in the field of nursing reported a better self-efficacy score. Overall, self-efficacy was predicted by the years of experience in the field of nursing (β =0.25, P = 0.009) and the interest in the nursing field (β = -0.15, P = 0.02).
This study indicated that the nurses with diploma degrees gained higher self-efficacy scores compared to those with bachelor's degrees. Changing the nursing curriculum and increasing the motivation in the nursing context might enhance the interest in the nursing field as well as the nurses' self-efficacy. Of course, other studies are recommended to be conducted to improve the nurses' self-efficacy.
在护理工作中，自我效能感对于技能表现至关重要。一些因素可能会影响并预测护士的自我效能感。因此，本研究旨在调查临床环境中护士的自我效能感及其预测因素。
在这项横断面研究中，通过分层随机抽样从设拉子医科大学附属的五家医院选取了264名护士。使用一般自我效能量表（GSE）评估总体自我效能感。数据采用单因素方差分析（ANOVA）和多元回归分析。
所有护士的自我效能感均值为29.78[标准差（SD）=5.82]。此外，拥有文凭、学士和硕士学位的护士的自我效能感分别为32.22（SD=6.21）、29.33（SD=5.68）和32.00（SD=6.00）。此外，拥有学士学位和文凭的护士在自我效能感方面存在显著差异（P=0.01）。而且，自我效能感与在护理科室工作的意愿（F=3.31，P=0.01）以及对护理领域的兴趣（F=2.43，P=0.04）之间存在显著关系。在护理领域有超过16年工作经验的护士自我效能感得分更高。总体而言，护理领域的工作年限（β=0.25，P=0.009）和对护理领域的兴趣（β=-0.15，P=0.02）可预测自我效能感。
本研究表明，与拥有学士学位的护士相比，拥有文凭的护士获得了更高的自我效能感得分。改变护理课程设置并增强护理环境中的动机可能会提高对护理领域的兴趣以及护士的自我效能感。当然，建议开展其他研究以提高护士的自我效能感。
