Area of Science:

Nursing Education
Palliative Care
Healthcare Workforce Development

Background:

Professional programs aim for
work-ready
graduates capable of competent nursing care.
Student self-efficacy in meeting graduate capabilities is a key measure of program success.
This study examines student self-efficacy in relation to palliative care graduate capabilities.

Purpose of the Study:

To explore graduating Bachelor of Nursing Science (BNSc) students' self-efficacy in caring for palliative care patients.
Assess the alignment between nursing education and the practical demands of palliative care.
Identify specific areas where student self-efficacy requires enhancement.

Main Methods:

Qualitative design utilizing semi-structured, face-to-face interviews.
Purposive sample of 10 final-semester BNSc students at a regional Australian university.
Interview data were transcribed, coded by palliative care graduate capabilities, and analyzed for evidence of self-efficacy.

Main Results:

All participants had prior experience caring for palliative care patients.
Student responses did not consistently demonstrate high self-efficacy in four key palliative care graduate capabilities.
A notable gap exists in students' perceived readiness for specific aspects of palliative care.

Conclusions:

Findings align with existing research on the disconnect between nursing curricula and healthcare industry expectations.
Educational interventions and program evaluation require enhancement to foster greater student self-efficacy.
Improved support is needed for students transitioning into their roles as graduate nurses in palliative care settings.
