Abstract:
Objective:To explore the mediating effect of self-efficacy between personality traits and learning engagement in nursing undergraduates.Methods:In December 2020, 2 170 4-year nursing undergraduates from 6 full-time universities in Shandong Province were selected as the research subject by convenience sampling. The Chinese Big Five Personality Inventory-15 (CBF-PI-15) , the Work Engagement Scale, and the General Self-Efficacy Scale (GSES) were used to conduct a cross-sectional survey. AMOS 17.0 was used to establish the structural equation model.Results:Among 2 170 undergraduate nursing students, the average scores of 5 dimension items of CBF-PI-15 in descending order were agreeableness (3.63±0.87) , sense of responsibility (3.24±0.84) , extroversion (2.58±0.68) , openness (2.56±1.00) , and neuroticism (1.76±1.19) . The total scores of 2 170 nursing undergraduates on the Work Engagement Scale and the GSES were (67.24±11.34) and (29.64±5.47) respectively. The self-efficacy of nursing undergraduates had a partial mediating effect between neuroticism, sense of responsibility, openness personality traits and learning engagement, and the effect values were 42.64%, 30.21%, and 48.67%, respectively.Conclusions:The learning engagement of nursing undergraduates is at the upper middle level. Nursing educators can change the influence of neuroticism, sense of responsibility, and openness personality traits on learning engagement by improving the self-efficacy of nursing students, thereby increasing the level of learning engagement of nursing undergraduates.
