Nursing Student Self-efficacy in Psychomotor Skills

Abstract

Student perceptions of self-efficacy (SE) prevent stress and burnout and improve engagement in nursing education, thus increasing learning outcomes. The study aims were to (1) validate a scale measuring nursing SE in psychomotor skills (NSE-PS), (2) describe changes in NSE-PS over time, and (3) explore NSE-PS correlations with burnout and engagement. A total of 1117 nursing students participated. A significant increase in the NSE-PS scores over the years has emerged; in addition, all NSE-PS dimensions were correlated negatively with burnout and positively with engagement.

Nursing students’ knowledge, attitude, self-efficacy in blended learning of cardiopulmonary resuscitation: a randomized controlled trial

“…With clinical learning at its core, nursing education aims to help students learn and practice nursing skills and develop self-efficacy [30], and thus, confirming the importance of self-efficacy for the development of psychomotor skills. In this study, the intervention group showed significantly higher self-efficacy after education, and the intervention group’s self-efficacy score was higher than that of the control group, but not to a significant extent.…”

“…Students’ self-efficacy refers to the scope or power of one’s beliefs about one’s ability to complete a task and accomplish the goal. Self-efficacy in nursing students prevents stress and burnout and increases learning performance by promoting participation in nursing education [30]. At the same time, self-efficacy is a predictor of academic success and personal development, as an increase of self-efficacy promotes one’s participation in learning, and thereby improves learning outcomes [30].…”

Development of a short and universal learning self-efficacy scale for clinical skills

“…This learning self-efficacy scale was unaffected by gender differences. The L-SES was created in this study in response to the need for a generic, universal learning self-efficacy scale that can be applied to a broad spectrum of clinical medicine rather than domain-specific learning tasks [13, 36]. For example, the final version of the L-SES can be easily implemented in relevant studies by replacing the quoted phrases with target clinical skills (Table 5).…”

Nursing students’ knowledge, attitude, self-efficacy in blended e-learning of cardiopulmonary resuscitation: a randomized controlled trial

“…With clinical learning at its core, nursing education aims to help students learn and practice nursing skills and develop self-efficacy [42], and thus, confirming the importance of self-efficacy for the development of psychomotor skills. In this study, the intervention group showed significantly higher self-efficacy after education, and the intervention group's self-efficacy score was higher than that of the control group, but not to a significant extent.…”

“…Students' self-efficacy refers to the scope or power of one's beliefs about one's ability to complete a task and accomplish the goal. Self-efficacy in nursing students prevents stress and burnout and increases learning performance by promoting participation in nursing education [42]. Particularly, improving self-efficacy as a psychomotor skill can lower stress in nursing students, the latter of which can have negative effects on clinical placement, such as in memory, attention, problem-solving skills, and coping skills.…”
