Abstract

Purpose of the Study: The study was conducted to determine the determinants that affect the self-efficacy of the second-year nursing students in their clinical experiences at the delivery room and birthing homes.

Methodology: The study utilized Convergent Mixed Method Design to determine the determinants that affect the self-efficacy of the second-year nursing students in their clinical experiences at the delivery room and birthing homes. The quantitative data provided the demographic profile and measured the determinants, while the qualitative data provided the explanation on why those determinants affected their self-efficacy. With 145 participants, the researchers utilized a self-made questionnaire for the quantitative data, while the qualitative data was obtained through an interview. Integrating the data collected, the researchers analyzed and identified the determinants that affected their self-efficacy in their clinical experience in the said rotations.

Findings: The study yielded that most participants are females, have a monthly family income of above ₱182,001, common ethnicity of the patient encountered is Tagalog, has parents as support system, and are proficient in both Tagalog and English. The determinants educational, personal, and environmental yielded “likely” to affect their self-efficacy. From their experiences, four main themes were drawn, which are: Demographic Influence on the Student Nurses’ Self-Efficacy, Adequacy of Maternal and Child Nursing Skills and Knowledge, Limited Experiences in Applying the Skills in Actual Scenarios, and The Situational Experiences and Settings.

Conclusions: The study concluded that the demographic profile indeed affected the self-efficacy of the participants. The educational, personal, and environmental determinants that were explained by the participants through their experiences also played a role on the self-efficacy of the students, wherein a holistic approach promotes increased self-efficacy and effectiveness in nursing education and practice.
