ANXIETY AND SELF-EFFICACY AS PREDICTORS OF CLINICAL PERFORMANCE OF THIRD YEAR NURSING STUDENTS OF IN A SELECTED SCHOOL IN DAVAO CITY

Louie Uy, RN

Abstract


This study determined the relationship between anxiety, self-efficacy and clinic performance of third year nursing students. The descriptive-correlational design was utilized in this study. Data was gathered using survey questionnaires. Mean and Standard deviation was used to measure the levels of anxiety, self-efficacy and clinic performance of third year nursing students. Pearson Product Moment Correlation was utilized to determine the relationships between anxiety, self-efficacy and clinic performance of third year nursing students. The results showed that the nursing students had a high level of anxiety, a moderate level of self-efficacy, and a very high level of clinical performance. Moreover, the findings showed that there was no significant link between anxiety and self-efficacy and the clinical performance of the nursing students. This indicates that other elements—such as quality of supervision, hands-on training, and institutional guidance—may have a greater impact on students’ clinical performance than their individual psychological factors.
