Perceived Self-Efficacy to provide humanized care among Nursing Student´s from Buenos Aires, Argentina.
Abstract
Objective: To evaluate undergraduate nursing students' perceived self-efficacy in providing humanized care and relate with patients. Methods: A descriptive, quantitative, cross-sectional study was conducted. Sixty-six undergraduate nursing students participated and answered the Spanish version of the Caring Efficacy Scale (CES). Data analysis was performed using Infostat. Results: The respondents had a mean age of 32.38 years (SD = 10.73), were predominantly female (87.88%), had children (51.52%), were in the first year of the study curricula (42.42%), and had no work experience in healthcare (53.03%). The mean self-efficacy score for providing humanized care was 136.62 (SD = 18.61) out of 180. Students in the third year of the curriculum obtained higher scores in the “Doubts and concerns” dimension, indicating that higher education leads to fewer doubts when providing care. Likewise, students with work experience in healthcare had a better overall perception. Conclusion: 63.64% of students perceived themselves as highly effective in providing humanized care. The year of the study curricula in which they were enrolled and work experience in healthcare were found to be related to perceived efficacy.
