Nurses with graduate degrees play pivotal roles in nursing care, education, and research. Alarming trends of a nurse faculty shortage and high levels of graduate nursing student attrition highlight the need to better understand the experiences of graduate nursing students.
The purpose of this paper is to define the concept of self-efficacy in graduate students as it pertains to enrollment, retention, and graduation.
Using Rodgers' Evolutionary Method of concept analysis, self-efficacy was analyzed from the literature of various disciplines, including nursing.
Antecedents, attributes, and consequences of self-efficacy were identified from 23 studies. Self-efficacy in graduate students is sourced by perceived, positive experiences. Its attributes are personal, malleable, goal-driven, a resource, knowledge, and trust. Graduate student self-efficacy results in productive thoughts, feelings, and actions that culminate in successful outcomes.
Self-efficacy has been identified by researchers in other disciplines as a helpful concept for understanding why and how graduate students initiate, continue, and complete their degrees. With a dearth of research exploring nursing graduate student self-efficacy, qualitative research is needed to understand the role this concept plays in graduate nursing education. Nevertheless, the findings of this concept analysis may serve as a starting point to inform nursing graduate education practice.
拥有研究生学历的护士在护理、教育和研究方面发挥着关键作用。令人担忧的是，护理教师短缺和研究生护士流失率居高不下，这凸显了我们需要更好地理解研究生护士的经历。
本文旨在定义与研究生入学、保留和毕业相关的自我效能感这一概念。
采用罗杰斯的进化方法对文献进行概念分析，分析了来自护理等不同学科的自我效能感文献。
从 23 项研究中确定了自我效能感的前因、属性和结果。研究生的自我效能感源自于感知到的积极体验。其属性包括个人的、可塑的、目标驱动的、资源、知识和信任。研究生自我效能感导致产生积极的想法、感受和行动，最终取得成功。
其他学科的研究人员已经确定自我效能感是一个有助于理解为什么以及如何让研究生开始、继续和完成学位的概念。由于缺乏探索护理研究生自我效能感的研究，需要进行定性研究来理解这一概念在护理研究生教育中的作用。尽管如此，这项概念分析的结果可以作为信息来源，为护理研究生教育实践提供依据。
