Abstract
This study aimed to assess nurses' self-efficacy, confidence levels, and interactions with patients diagnosed with coronavirus disease (COVID-19).
Methods: We employed a cross-sectional design using an online survey and included scales for self-efficacy, self-confidence, and nurse-patient interaction .Results: A total of 120 nurses participated in the study. The findings indicated a moderate level of self-efficacy (M = 28.84, SD = 7.7), self-confidence (M = 47.41, SD = 9.0), and nurse-patient interaction (M = 93.59, SD = 16.3). Positive correlations were observed between nurses' self-efficacy, self-confidence, and nurse-patient interaction (r = 0.81, P < 0.0001; r = 0.79, P < 0.0001, respectively). Significant variations in self-efficacy were noted based on years of experience, academic qualifications, and position (F = 2.10, P = 0.003; F = 3.60, P = 0.002; F = 2.60, P = 0.007, respectively). Moreover, significant differences were observed in self-confidence and nurse-patient interaction.
Conclusion: The study underscores the importance of nurse educators and administrators implementing strategies such as continuous education, training, financial incentives, organizational support, and access to protective equipment to enhance nurses' self-efficacy, confidence, and interactions with COVID-19 patients.
