Background:
The present research aimed to explore the association of self-efficacy and general health among nurses.
Methods:
This was a descriptive-analytical. A total of 470 nurses were selected through the stratified sampling method. To collect the required data, GSE-10 and GHQ-28 were used. Independent-sample T-test, Pearson correlation coefficient, Chi-squared test, and regression were also used to analyze the obtained data.
Results:
The results reveal a statistically significant correlation between general health and self-efficacy (t=-6.72, p < .001). Among general health parameters, social functioning has significantly predicted self-efficacy.
Conclusions:
As shown in the present findings, an acceptable level of self-efficacy can positively affect all aspects of nurses' general health.
