Abstract

Objective

To investigate general self-efficacy levels and to examine the relationship between self-efficacy and achievement motivation in student nurses in China.

Methods

A total of 716 student nurses were enrolled in this study from 7 hospitals in western China. Data were collected using three scales: General Data Scale, Self-Efficacy Scale (SES) and Achievement Motivation Scale (AMS). There were 566 valid questionnaires.

Results

The mean general self-efficacy scores of the student nurses were low. There was a significantly positive relationship between self-efficacy and achievement motivation (r = 0.432, p = 0.000).

Conclusions

Our findings suggested that self-efficacy was related to age and educational levels, rather than gender and place of residence. Nursing managers should take measures to develop the self-efficacy of student nurses; when self-efficacy is developed, the achievement motivation may then be improved. Achievement motivation may also be improved through the improvement of self-efficacy.

护生自我效能感信念与成就动机的关系

目的了解中国护生自我效能感的总体水平，并探讨自我效能感与成就动机的关系。方法选取西部地区7所医院的716名实习护士进行研究。采用一般数据量表、自我效能量表和成就动机量表收集数据。有效问卷566份。结果护生一般自我效能感平均得分较低。自我效能感与成就动机呈显著正相关(r = 0.432, p = 0.000)。结论自我效能感与年龄、文化程度有关，而与性别、居住地无关。护理管理者应采取措施培养护生的自我效能感;当自我效能感得到发展时，成就动机就会得到提高。成就动机也可以通过自我效能感的提高而得到改善。
