Caring efficacy is a core nursing concept, but its application in nursing practice remains unclear.
This study analyzed the meaning and attributes of caring efficacy among nursing students, defined caring efficacy in this context, and identified the substantive constituents of the concept.
This hybrid study analyzed and compared data from a literature review and in-depth interviews with students in the clinical practice stage of a nursing program, according to the model suggested by Schwartz-Barcott and Kim.
The results revealed five attributes of nursing caring efficacy and 17 indicators across two dimensions. Considering the attributes identified in theoretical work and fieldwork, this study defined nursing students' care efficiency based on their "qualifications and personality for caring" as "self-confidence in caring capabilities," rooted in their "growth through caring experience" and the conditions of their "educational environment for learning caring and social support."
The findings could guide the development of nursing caring efficacy scales. Future studies should explore caring efficacy among professional and student nurses in various clinical fields.
关怀效能是护理的核心概念,但其在护理实践中的应用仍不明确。
本研究分析了护理专业学生关怀效能的含义和属性,在此背景下定义了关怀效能,并确定了该概念的实质构成要素。
根据施瓦茨 - 巴科特和金提出的模型,本混合研究分析并比较了文献综述以及对护理专业临床实习阶段学生进行深入访谈所得的数据。
结果揭示了护理关怀效能的五个属性以及两个维度下的17个指标。考虑到理论研究和实地调查中确定的属性,本研究将护理专业学生基于其“关怀资质和个性”的关怀效能定义为“关怀能力的自信”,其源于“通过关怀经历实现成长”以及“学习关怀和社会支持的教育环境”条件。
研究结果可为护理关怀效能量表的开发提供指导。未来研究应探索不同临床领域专业护士和学生护士的关怀效能。
