Self-Efficacy, Grit and Perceptions of Rural Employment: What Changes Occur After Graduation?

Abstract

Purpose: General self-efficacy, occupational self-efficacy, and grit have a correlation with academic and practical success amongst nursing students. The role of these same characteristics during the first 18-24 months following the transition from student to nurse is poorly understood. In addition, when a nursing graduate begins to consider a career in a rural area is also remains unclear. This study sought to understand the change, if any, in general selfefficacy, occupational self-efficacy, grit, and rural employment importance that occurred during this transition period. Sample:Nurses after graduating from a three-year Bachelor of Nursing degree (n=28). Method:A follow-up study of a larger longitudinal mixed-methods cohort design used a survey to examine general self-efficacy, occupational self-efficacy, grit, and rural employment importance among novice nurses. Participants had agreed when completing the initial study as students to participate in a follow-up study 18-24-months after graduating.

Self-efficacy, grit, and rural career aspirations among early career nurses: A repeated cross-sectional study

“…To examine what differences existed between 18-24 and 36-48 months after graduation in terms of self-e cacy, grit, rural practice, additional study, management opportunities, and leaving the profession, a repeated cross-sectional design was used to collect nursing graduate data between 20219 and 2023, as a follow up study to Terry et al [7]. Reporting methods adhered to the STROBE guidelines.…”

“…Within this context, the multifaceted nature of nursing demands an examination of the knowledge, skills, and psychological attributes that contribute to staff retention. Among these attributes, the concepts of self-e cacy, grit, and career aspirations hold signi cant implications for the success and professional resilience of junior nurses [7].…”

“…Moreover, this integrative perspective on the role of psychological factors such as grit and self-e cacy also delves into the pivotal in uence of career aspirations, speci cally aspiration of rural careers. Within this context, the Nursing Community Apgar Questionnaire (NCAQ) serves as an evidence-based tool that gauges the signi cance junior nurses attribute to various factors-geographic, economic, management, practice, and support-when considering rural nursing employment [7,15,16]. Past exploration sought to uncover how junior nurses' perceptions of pursuing a rural nursing career evolve over time, particularly during the transition from student to registered nurse.…”

“…Past exploration sought to uncover how junior nurses' perceptions of pursuing a rural nursing career evolve over time, particularly during the transition from student to registered nurse. It was demonstrated that the level of importance students' place on pursuing a rural career over time did not change from student to new graduate [7].…”

“…Также специфика категории «занятость» выражена в «приобретении новой социальноэкономической формы, обусловленной определенным этапом общественного развития» [4]. Некоторые исследователи определяют занятость как «совокупность социально-экономических отношений по поводу привлечения и использования рабочей силы в процессе трудовой деятельности» [17]. Как макроэкономический индикатор занятость отражает уровень количественного и качественного использования трудовых ресурсов [16].…”
