Internationalization at home strategies seek to achieve a more inclusive and equitable higher education. Evidence about the impact of these strategies on students' self-efficacy is still scarce, even though this psychological construct is essential for the performance and well-being of nursing students. The Global Nursing Care program was designed to provide nursing students with an internationalization at home experience, combining a virtual exchange and international clinical simulation.
To determine the impact of the Global Nursing Care program on nursing students' self-efficacy.
A quasi-experimental, analytic, and longitudinal study was conducted.
The virtual module was carried out online, and the international simulations were developed in the Simulation Centers of the San Juan de Dios School of Nursing and Physiotherapy (Universidad Pontificia Comillas, Spain) and the West Coast University (USA). Seventy students participated in the program and 57 completed the pre-post questionnaire.
Data were collected using an online survey that included a sociodemographic questionnaire and the General Self-efficacy Scale. IBM's SPSS (version 28.0.1.1) was used to analyze data. Differences between self-efficacy levels were measured before and after the program, and according to sociodemographic characteristics.
General self-efficacy was significantly augmented following program participation (pre-intervention: mean = 32.39, SD = 3.87; post-intervention: mean = 34.44, SD = 3.86; p < 0.001). No differences based on nationality, previous international academic experience or academic year were found.
An internationalization at home program based on virtual exchange and simulation improves nursing students' general self-efficacy. Future research can explore to what extent this effect persists over time.
国际化本土战略旨在实现更具包容性和公平性的高等教育。尽管这种心理结构对于护理学生的表现和幸福感至关重要，但关于这些战略对学生自我效能感影响的证据仍然很少。全球护理关怀计划旨在为护理学生提供一种国际化本土体验，将虚拟交流和国际临床模拟相结合。
确定全球护理关怀计划对护理学生自我效能感的影响。
进行了一项准实验、分析和纵向研究。
虚拟模块在线进行，国际模拟在圣胡安德迪奥斯护理与理疗学院（西班牙科米利亚斯教皇大学）和西海岸大学（美国）的模拟中心进行。共有 70 名学生参加了该计划，其中 57 名学生完成了预-后问卷调查。
使用在线调查收集数据，该调查包括一份社会人口学问卷和一般自我效能感量表。使用 IBM 的 SPSS（版本 28.0.1.1）分析数据。根据社会人口学特征，测量了方案参与前后自我效能感水平的差异。
方案参与后，一般自我效能感显著提高（干预前：均值=32.39，标准差=3.87；干预后：均值=34.44，标准差=3.86；p<0.001）。未发现基于国籍、先前国际学术经验或学术年级的差异。
基于虚拟交流和模拟的国际化本土计划提高了护理学生的一般自我效能感。未来的研究可以探索这种效果在多大程度上随着时间的推移而持续。
