“…ESE refers to a person’s confidence to successfully carry out specific entrepreneurship-related duties [ 59 ]. Several empirical studies have investigated the relationship between EE and ESE [ 60 , 61 ]. According to the study of Soomro and Shah, in addition to objectively enhancing entrepreneurial skills and providing practical opportunities, EE also subjectively strengthens students’ perception and control over entrepreneurial activities [ 62 ].…”

“…According to the study of Soomro and Shah, in addition to objectively enhancing entrepreneurial skills and providing practical opportunities, EE also subjectively strengthens students’ perception and control over entrepreneurial activities [ 62 ]. Another study concluded that those who have undergone EE typically have substantially higher levels of self-efficacy in EE than those who have not [ 61 ]. Additionally, those who complete the EE task have a high level of ESE because they are confident in their upcoming EI.…”

Female entrepreneurs have irreplaceable status and essential significance in entrepreneurship research. Improving females’ entrepreneurial intentions is an important topic in this area. Accordingly, this study, based on the theory of planned behavior, investigates the factors that affect female students’ entrepreneurial intention at China’s vocational colleges and whether household income moderates the relationship between entrepreneurial education, attitude, competence, self-efficacy and entrepreneurial intention. 2149 females from vocational colleges in Guangdong Province, Zhejiang Province, and Jiangxi Province were randomly chosen to participate in the study. They had taken part in entrepreneurial courses throughout 2021–2022. In addition, data were analyzed by structural equation modeling partial least squares. The results demonstrate that entrepreneurial education did not directly affect female students’ intentions. Entrepreneurial competence, self-efficacy, and attitude positively affect entrepreneurial intention. It is further concluded that household income significantly moderates the relationship between entrepreneurial education, attitude, competence, and intention. However, there is no significant difference in the relationship between self-efficacy and entrepreneurial intention between high and low-household-income students. While females continue to confront sexism in the workplace, it is crucial that we conduct empirical research into the factors influencing female entrepreneurial intention to boost economic growth and gender parity. This research helps bridge a gap in the prior literature and adds substantial value to encouraging female entrepreneurs.

“…ESE plays a crucial role in enhancing the impact of EE on students' EIs. The better the self-confidence formed through education, training, and experience in entrepreneurship, the more it will impact their desire to create a business independently [31], [59]. However, the impact is still relatively low.…”

“…Although several studies have investigated the effect of education on EI, a knowledge gap still needs to be filled in this relationship. The mediating role of entrepreneurial self-efficacy (ESE) in the relationship between EE and EI requires further investigation to enhance comprehension [31]. High self-efficacy gained through EE [32]- [35] means that people are highly motivated to be entrepreneurs [36], [37], and this makes people more likely to become entrepreneurs [38]- [42].…”

The role of entrepreneurship in addressing the issue of educated unemployment is well acknowledged, while its specific implications for health professions students remain inadequately explored. This study's main objective is to investigate entrepreneurship education's effect on entrepreneurial intention by considering entrepreneurial self-efficacy as a mediator in students majoring in medical laboratory technology. This quantitative research uses an exploratory approach involving 300 respondents determined through simple random sampling techniques and analyzed using partial least square structural equation model (PLS-SEM). The analysis revealed that entrepreneurship education directly impacts self-efficacy and entrepreneurial intention. Furthermore, entrepreneurial self-efficacy was identified to exert a positive mediating effect between these variables. However, the effect size between the relationships of the research variables is low. Nevertheless, higher education offering health majors can optimize entrepreneurship education by implementing practical learning and field experience to increase confidence and intention in entrepreneurial activities.
