Abstract:
Objective To describe the characteristics of nursing competence and self efficacy of new nurses in a tumor hospital and to explore the correlative relationship between them. Methods By convenience sampling method, a total of 303 new nurses who were employed in 2013 to 2015 from a tumor hospital were recruited in the study. A self-designed demographic questionnaire, the nursing competence scale (NCS) and the general self-efficacy scale (GSES) were used. Results The average score of nursing competence of new nurses was (83.80 ± 10.35) points. Among the six dimensions of nursing competence, the interpersonal relation competence had the highest score of (86.74 ± 10.55) points, while the nursing process applying competence had the lowest score of (81.41 ± 11.02) points. The level of nursing competence and each dimensions were positively related with self-efficacy (r=0.443-0.557, P<0.01). Conclusions The level of nursing competence of new nurses in a tumor hospital is good, but the nursing process applying competence, critical patient care competence and the health education competence were still insufficient, so it is necessary to take corresponding measures to improve the overall quality of new nurses. Self efficacy can effectively predict the nursing competence of new nurses. The hospital can improve the nursing competence by intervene the self efficacy of new nurses, in order to improve the clinical nursing quality and promote the development of nursing.
