Abstract: (7 Views)
Background: Nursing care is an essential part of health care services and should be provided at the highest level. However, some nursing care is omitted for various reasons. This study examines the relationship between nurses' self-efficacy and missed nursing care (MNC).
Methods: In this descriptive-correlational study, 285 nurses from hospitals affiliated with Alborz University of Medical Sciences, Iran- were selected using proportion to size sampling in 2024. The data collection tools included the General Self-Efficacy scale (GSE-17) and the Kalisch MNC. The data were analyzed using descriptive (frequency, percentage, mean, and standard deviation) and inferential (Mann-Whitney, Kruskal-Wallis, and Spearman correlation coefficient) statistics in SPSS version 16 software at a significance level of 0.05.
Results: Nurses' total self-efficacy and MNC scores were 64.70±7.57 (moderate) and 55.01±6.73 (high), respectively. The results also showed a significant negative correlation between self-efficacy and MNC (p value = <0.001). Moreover, among the demographic variables, age, marital status, and Job category were significantly related to self-efficacy and MNC.
Conclusion: The results of this study showed a negative relationship between nurses’ self-efficacy and MNC. It is suggested that appropriate training programs be designed and implemented to improve nurses' self-efficacy with the aim of reducing MNC.
