Effects On The Educational Stress Of The Self-Efficacy Level Of Nursing Students

Abstract

Aim: This study aimed to determine the effect of nursing students' selfefficacy levels on nursing education stress. Methods: The sample of the descriptive research comprised 246 undergraduate nursing students who agreed to participate in the study. In the collection of data, the Introductory Characteristics Information Form for Students, the Nursing Education Stress Scale, and the General Self-Efficacy Scale were used. The data were analyzed with descriptive statistics, independent sample t test, ANOVA, Kruskal-Wallis test, Pearson correlation, and multiple regression. Results: This study showed a significant negative correlation between the total score of the General Self-Efficacy Scale and the Nursing Education Stress Scale at the weak and advanced levels (p<0.05). The total scores from the independent variables of gender and class and the General Self-Efficacy Scale were found to be related factors in predicting the total score on the Nursing Education Stress Scale (p<0.05). Conclusion: As a result of the study, it was determined that as the general self-efficacy levels of the nursing students increased, their educational stress levels decreased. It is recommended that students be evaluated for the type and degree of stress and for the ways of coping with stress during their education.

Evaluation of the Relationship Between Bricolage And Self-Efficacy in Nursing Students

“…Similar to this study findings, in a study conducted by Açıksöz et al with nursing students, the students' self-efficacy perception was found to be high [15]. In a study by Göger and Çevirme, examining the effect of self-efficacy level on educational stress in nursing students, the students' self-efficacy total score average was found to be high at 61.46±11.94 [17]. An investigation of the literature also Health Problems of Civilization eISSN: 2354-0265 ISSN: 2353-6942 reveals studies that examine the self-efficacy levels of nursing students using different scales.…”

“…In this study, which was conducted to evaluate the relationship between bricolage and self-efficacy in nursing students, 65% of students were female and 70.9% were between the ages of 18-21 (Table 1). In studies conducted on self-efficacy with nursing students, the majority of the students are female and in a similar age range [15][16][17][18][19].…”
