Development and validation of a brief Occupational Coping Self‐Efficacy Questionnaire for Nurses

Abstract

Nurses can have two basic and distinct coping self-efficacy beliefs: beliefs about occupational burden and beliefs about relational difficulties in the workplace. Research is needed into how efficacy evaluations shift as a result of specific stress management interventions.

Nursing staffs' emotional well‐being and caring behaviours

“…Both scales demonstrate an acceptable level of internal consistency, α = 0·77 and α = 0·79 respectively (Pisanti et al . ).…”

“…Higher scores indicate higher levels of coping self-efficacy. Both scales demonstrate an acceptable level of internal consistency, a = 0Á77 and a = 0Á79 respectively (Pisanti et al 2008).…”

“…Occupational Coping Self-Efficacy Scale for Nurses (OCSE-N; Pisanti et al 2008). The OCSE-N was used to assess self-efficacy using nine items across two subscales; coping self-efficacy to manage the occupational burden and coping self-efficacy to manage relational difficulties in the workplace.…”

Workplace bullying and burnout among healthcare employees: The moderating effect of control‐related resources

“…Occupational coping self‐efficacy was measured using 10 items based on Pisanti et al’s () Occupational Coping Self‐Efficacy scale. Respondents rated the extent to which they believed that they could successfully cope with stressful occupational situations on a five point scale, ranging from 1 (very poor coping ability) to 5 (very good coping ability).…”

“…In the context of occupational stress, self‐efficacy represents employees’ self‐appraisal of their ability to display the skills needed to perform job‐specific tasks or cope with job‐related stress and its consequences (Shoji et al, ). This study examines a situation‐specific dimension of self‐efficacy, namely occupational‐coping self‐efficacy, conceptualized as employees’ confidence that they are capable of coping with work demands (Pisanti, Lombardo, Lucidi, Lazzari, & Bertini, ).…”
