Abstract: Objective To investigate the effect of Williams life skills training (WLST) on self-efficacy. Methods Sixty-eight newly contracted nurses during March to May 2014 in our hospital were assigned in the control group , and another sixty-eight newly-contracted nurses during March to May 2015 in our hospital in the intervention group. After the implementation of Williams life skills training, the two groups were compared in terms of transition impact and self-efficacy using the transition impact scale and general self-efficacy scale (GSES). Result After the intervention, the scores on transition impact as well as its dimensions in the intervention group were significantly lower than those of the control group (P<0.05) and the scores on self-efficacy as well as its dimensions in the intervention group were significantly higher than those of the control group (P<0.05). Conclusion WLST can be effective in the intervention on the newly-graduated nurses and it can effectively improve the extent of transition impact as well as their self-efficacy levels.
