ABSTRACT
Objective To understand the current situation of satisfaction and self-efficacy of nursing students in clinical practice and to explore the correlation between the two. Method A total of 120 nursing students in clinical practice were investigated using the general nursing student satisfaction scale and the general self-efficacy scale (GSES). Results The satisfaction score of nursing students was(151.89 ± 22.36)points and the score of nursing students self-efficacy was(29.06 ± 6.70)points.Nursing students self-efficacy was positively correlated with their job satisfaction (r=0.390,P＜0.01).Regression analysis showed that nursing students self-efficacy had a significant impact on job satisfaction (t=3.363,P＜0.01). Conclusion According to the characteristics of nursing students,clinical nursing education administrators should formulate and implement targeted interventions to deepen their love of nurses and improve their sense of self-efficacy,so as to enhance job satisfaction of nursing students.
