Student self-efficacy related to clinical skills is important to successful performance in the clinical setting. This pilot study was designed to evaluate the confidence levels of junior and senior nursing students in performing selected nursing skills, using the Clinical Skills Self-Efficacy Scale. A descriptive cross-sectional design was used in which participants completed an online survey. Findings indicate that senior students demonstrated higher self-efficacy than juniors; their experiences and confidence related to performing specific clinical skills varied across groups. Strategies to improve students' clinical skills learning specific to the laboratory and clinical settings are addressed.
与临床技能相关的学生自我效能感对于在临床环境中的成功表现很重要。这项试点研究旨在使用临床技能自我效能量表评估低年级和高年级护理专业学生在执行选定护理技能时的信心水平。采用描述性横断面设计，参与者完成在线调查。研究结果表明，高年级学生比低年级学生表现出更高的自我效能感；他们在执行特定临床技能方面的经验和信心因组别而异。文中还探讨了针对实验室和临床环境提高学生临床技能学习的策略。
