Abstract Objectives To develop a self-report scale to measure academic motivation among nursing students and to test its psychometric properties. Methods a cross-sectional validation study with a convenience sample of nursing students (n=1,635) was performed. The Motivation Nursing Students Scale was developed; content, face, construct validity, hypothesis testing and reliability were evaluated. Results The validity structure revealed a four-factor solution and the model reached a satisfactory fit (χ2=622.835 df=160, p<0.01, CFI=0.90, TLT=0.83, RMSEA=0.060 (90% [CI] 0.055–0.064, p=0.001, SRMR=0.067). The hypothesis testing was confirmed with a positive correlation of the academic self-efficacy with Introjected, Intrinsic motivation and a negative correlation with Amotivation. Conclusions We verified a link between academic self-efficacy and motivation. Both motivation and self-efficacy may increase academic achievement and the possibility for HEIs to degrees a number of students in line with demands.

Academic Self Efficacy

Academic self-efficacy, academic motivation, and information literacy are considered crucial to fostering student learning in tertiary institutions. The aim of this study was to examine the information literacy self-efficacy and academic motivation of college students and to identify the predictors of information literacy self-efficacy. The participants included students in their junior and senior years studying nursing, healthcare, and non-healthcare disciplines at a self-financing institution. Data were collected through a quota sampling method using a questionnaire. In total, 504 valid questionnaires were returned. The results indicated a moderate positive correlation between the two variables. The nursing students were found to have lower information literacy self-efficacy scores than those from the other disciplines. The results from a multiple regression analysis showed that the following factors are predictors of information literacy self-efficacy: being a nursing student, total scores for academic motivation, and owning a personal computer. Nurse educators are encouraged to strengthen the information literacy skills of nursing students, as this is an essential component in the application of evidence-based practices in the nursing profession.

Background Mediterranean nutrition knowledge, healthy eating habits, and subjective nutritional knowledge are crucially important to nursing students’ health. The study strives to examine, during the COVID-19 pandemic period: (a) nursing students' eating habits and their subjective nutritional knowledge according to three groups: novice, advanced, and senior; and (b) subjective knowledge and its role as a mediator between Mediterranean nutritional knowledge and nursing students’ eating habits. Methods A cross-sectional study design with a convenience sample consisting of 212 university nursing students. Participants volunteered to complete a questionnaire that examined their eating habits, subjective nutritional knowledge, and Mediterranean diet knowledge. The university's institutional review board provided permission to conduct the current study. Results Nursing students from the novice group had better eating habits than the advanced and senior groups, and no significant differences were found between the advanced and senior groups regarding eating habits. Additionally, Mediterranean nutritional knowledge had a positive indirect effect on eating habits through subjective nutritional knowledge. Therefore, subjective nutritional knowledge partially mediated the relationship between Mediterranean nutritional knowledge and eating habits. Conclusion First, especially for the advanced and senior groups, it is important to create opportunities for learning via seminars, symposia, and webinars. Interprofessional teams, such as clinical nutritionists or a registered certified dietitian and nursing student, can engage with important, authentic information. Second, since subjective nutritional knowledge was found to be a partial mediator, it may be assumed that there are other mediating variables that we did not examine in this study. Therefore, it is necessary to conduct further research to examine other factors that can serve as mediators for eating habits, in addition to subjective knowledge, especially during COVID-19 times.

Introduction: Nursing students who undergo clinical learning in hospitals frequently communicate with nurses and patients. Communication barriers act as a burden to reach the desired quality of their learning. Previous studies indicate that barriers to communicate with nurses by nursing students are significantly higher compared to patient-related and nursing student-related barriers. This study aimed to describe perceived barriers to communicate with nurses and patients during clinical learning among nursing students of two state universities in Sri Lanka. Methods: A descriptive cross-sectional study was conducted using a convenience sample of 120 nursing students from 2 nd , 3 rd and 4 th years in the University of Sri Jayewardenepura and the Eastern University of Sri Lanka. A previously validated questionnaire, consisting three barrier categories; nurse-related, patient-related and student-related was adapted and pretested for the study. Data were analyzed using descriptive and inferential statistics in SPSS version 23. Results: The majority of participants were females (77.5%). All three barrier categories were perceived as moderate by a majority; 66.7%, 72.5% and 66.6% respectively. Nurse-related barriers had the highest overall mean score (3.31±0.56) compared to patient-related (3.12±0.64) and nursing student-related (3.00±0.68) barriers. The highest mean score (3.91±0.99) was evident for nurses’ negative attitudes towards nursing students, serious disease conditions of patients (3.75±1.03), and language differences (3.34±1.36). Conclusions: The three tested barrier categories were found to be moderate where nurse-related barriers were the highest and nursing student-related barriers were the lowest. The study recommends to provide adequate training on effective communication skills in clinical settings for nursing students. Continuing education programs for nurses should also focus on facilitating student training in clinical settings.Keywords: Clinical learning, Communication barriers, Nursing students, Nurses, Patients

Background: In nursing education, clinical practice is a crucial process for students to learn and practice knowledge and skills for becoming healthcare professionals.Objective: To investigate the effects of the experience of incivility on nursing students’ stress and self-efficacy in clinical settings.Methods: A descriptive cross-sectional study was conducted using self-administered surveys by a convenience sample of 195 nursing students in South Korea. The surveys included sociodemographic questions, the 13-item Korean version of Uncivil Behavior in Clinical Nursing Education (K-UBCNE), the 24-item Korean versions of Beck-Srivastava Stress Inventory (K-BSSI), and the 24-item of Academic Self-Efficacy (ASE).Results: The average age of our sample was 22.33 years (± 2.39). Among 195 study participants, junior students were 123 (63.1%) and senior students were 72 (36.9%). Mean score of total incivility by the K-UBCNE among the seniors was significantly higher than the juniors (t = -2.985, p = .002). Pearson correlations results indicated that the nursing students’ incivility experience was positively correlated with the K-BSSI (r = .679, p < .01), and the ASE (r = .680, p < .01). Lastly, Clinical Education Environment (t = 1.985, p = .049), Undesired Role Model (t = 6.650, p = .000) and Interpersonal Conflict (t = 2.486, p = .014) from K-BSSI were the predictors for incivility, F(7, 195) = 28.110, p = 000.Conclusions: Incivility adversely influences students’ learning. Nurse educators and RNs should recognize the serious implications of incivility and develop effective interventions to combat incivility. Further studies of stress, self-efficacy, and incivility in the clinical sites are warranted.

Introduction: The shift to online learning owing to the coronavirus disease 2019 pandemic is posing an additional challenge to academic success, particularly for students who speak English as a Second Language (ESL). This study aimed to examine the factors that contribute to academic self-efficacy among ESL nursing students. Method: This was a cross-sectional study using path analysis with 113 undergraduate ESL nursing students in New York City. Data were collected online using self-report measures of the study variables: academic self-efficacy, perfectionistic concerns, acculturative stress, and e-learning stress. A hypothetical path model was tested using AMOS 26.0. Results: Perfectionistic concerns and acculturative stress directly affected academic self-efficacy. Furthermore, perfectionistic concerns and e-learning stress indirectly affected academic self-efficacy via the acculturative stress path. Discussion: Results indicate the importance of developing a multifaceted intervention that considers diverse cultural and psychological factors to help ESL nursing students enhance their academic self-efficacy in e-learning environments.
