Language background impacts nursing students' self-efficacy. Nonprimary English speakers were more prone to avoid challenges, unlike primary speakers, suggesting a need for targeted support.

Area of Science:

  • Nursing Education
  • Psychology
  • Sociolinguistics

Background:

  • Linguistic diversity in nursing programs presents unique challenges.
  • Perceived self-efficacy is crucial for academic and professional success in healthcare.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate the relationship between language background and self-efficacy in nursing students.
  • To identify specific self-efficacy factors influenced by primary language.

Main Methods:

  • Factor analysis of Sherer, et al.'s General Self-efficacy Scale.
  • Comparison of self-efficacy scores between primary and nonprimary English speakers.
  • Analysis of two subscales: Tendency to Avoid/Give Up and Tendency to Persist.

Main Results:

Related Experiment Videos

  • Nonprimary English speakers reported a higher Tendency to Avoid/Give Up compared to primary speakers.
  • No significant differences were found in the Tendency to Persist subscale.
  • Student class level did not correlate with self-efficacy levels.

Conclusions:

  • Language background is a significant factor influencing specific aspects of self-efficacy in nursing students.
  • Interventions may be needed to support nonprimary English speakers in overcoming task avoidance.
  • Further research should explore the impact of cultural factors on self-efficacy in diverse nursing cohorts.
