Students' industrial work experience scheme (SIWES): exploring higher institution student’s participation and sense of belonging

PurposeThe purpose of this study was to determine the extent to which students' industrial work experience scheme (SIWES) students in higher education institutions experienced a high level of engagement in workplace activities and a strong sense of affiliation with their workplace environment. The additional purpose encompassed the identification of factors that both facilitated and hindered their engagement and self-efficacy.Design/methodology/approachThe data for this study were collected via a cross-sectional survey of 243 students who were undertaking the SIWES as a mandatory component of their graduation requirements. The survey was conducted at selected tertiary institutions in Nigeria.FindingsThe qualitative replies yielded valuable insights on the factors that motivated and supported participation, with self-efficacy emerging as a significant facilitator as well as a potential barrier. There is a positive association between more interactions, a professional atmosphere and self-efficacy.Research limitations/implicationsThe study may not comprehensively include all contextual variables that might potentially impact students' perception of belongingness and self-efficacy during the SIWES program, including the distinct industry or workplace setting.Practical implicationsThis exploratory study analyzes SIWES students' cultural and personal affiliation. The study suggests these changes improve student performance. Engagement and belonging techniques for students, supervisors, coworkers and professionals are classified by the study. The study found that supervisors and coworkers help students at work. It underlines academics' responsibility in creating SIWES curricula that increase student confidence and active learning. According to this study, students should receive self-confidence therapy before SIWES. Self-confidence and student success and well-being need additional investigation, the report says.Originality/valueThis study takes a unique approach by examining belongingness and self-efficacy in the SIWES course. It examines the interdependence of these notions and the curriculum's various challenges and opportunities. By addressing these important issues, study adds to existing knowledge and lays the groundwork for future research.

Promoting Self-Efficacy of Individuals With Autism in Practicing Social Skills in the Workplace Using Virtual Reality and Physiological Sensors: Mixed Methods Study.

Individuals with autism often experience heightened anxiety in workplace environments because of challenges in communication and sensory overload. As these experiences can result in negative self-image, promoting their self-efficacy in the workplace is crucial. Virtual reality (VR) systems have emerged as promising tools for enhancing the self-efficacy of individuals with autism in navigating social scenarios, aiding in the identification of anxiety-inducing situations, and preparing for real-world interactions. However, there is limited research exploring the potential of VR to enhance self-efficacy by facilitating an understanding of emotional and physiological states during social skills practice. This study aims to develop and evaluate a VR system that enabled users to experience simulated work-related social scenarios and reflect on their behavioral and physiological data through data visualizations. We intended to investigate how these data, combined with the simulations, can support individuals with autism in building their self-efficacy in social skills. We developed WorkplaceVR, a comprehensive VR system designed for engagement in simulated work-related social scenarios, supplemented with data-driven reflections of users' behavioral and physiological responses. A within-subject deployment study was subsequently conducted with 14 young adults with autism to examine WorkplaceVR's feasibility. A mixed methods approach was used, compassing pre- and postsystem use assessments of participants' self-efficacy perceptions. The study results revealed WorkplaceVR's effectiveness in enhancing social skills and self-efficacy among individuals with autism. First, participants exhibited a statistically significant increase in perceived self-efficacy following their engagement with the VR system (P=.02). Second, thematic analysis of the interview data confirmed that the VR system and reflections on the data fostered increased self-awareness among participants about social situations that trigger their anxiety, as well as the behaviors they exhibit during anxious moments. This increased self-awareness prompted the participants to recollect their related experiences in the real world and articulate anxiety management strategies. Furthermore, the insights uncovered motivated participants to engage in self-advocacy, as they wanted to share the insights with others. This study highlights the potential of VR simulations enriched with physiological and behavioral sensing as a valuable tool for augmenting self-efficacy in workplace social interactions for individuals with autism. Data reflection facilitated by physiological sensors helped participants with autism become more self-aware of their emotions and behaviors, advocate for their characteristics, and develop positive self-beliefs.

First Responders During COVID-19: Career Calling, PTSD, and Work Self-Efficacy

Introduction: During the COVID-19 pandemic, first responders were identified as a high-risk group for developing symptoms of post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) and depression, which are commonly associated with negative thoughts about oneself. This may pose risk to perceptions of work self-efficacy, an integral component of employee well-being and occupational functioning. In line with the Job Demands-Resources Model (Demerouti et al., 2001), the present study examined whether the degree to which first responders’ perceived career calling (i.e., a “summons” to work) served as a protective factor in the relationship between PTSD symptoms associated with the COVID-19 pandemic and perceptions of self-efficacy in the workplace. MethodsParticipants were 138 first responders from local county police and fire departments who completed online screening measures for probable PTSD and depression, as well as self-reports of work self-efficacy and career calling, between May and June 2020. Statistical analysis occurred between 2020-2021. ResultsModeration analysis, controlling for depression and relevant covariates, revealed an interaction between PTSD symptoms and career calling, ΔR2 = .04, p = .017. At low levels of career calling, there was a significant and negative relationship between PTSD symptoms and work self-efficacy (b = ‒0.14, p = .023), but not among first responders with average or high calling (p’s > .58). Positive screening rates were 22% for probable PTSD and 19% for depression. ConclusionsPerceiving a career calling may help protect first responders during COVID-19 from the deleterious effects of PTSD symptomatology on work self-efficacy. Prevention efforts targeting first responders with low calling strength may be warranted.

Assessment of knowledge and self-efficacy among health professionals and clinical scientists following the Cameroon HIV/AIDS Research Forum (CAM-HERO 2022) research methodology and bioethics training.

To inform public health policymakers that the generation of local evidence-based knowledge is key. Research capacity in low- and middle-income countries (LMIC) to generate medical knowledge is often weak and insufficiently resourced and efforts to tackle these challenges are not standardized. Continuous research training can equip researchers with the required knowledge and research skills, but its effectiveness largely depends on the quality and pertinence of the training methods used. We aim to assess the effectiveness of the Cameroon HIV/AIDS Research Forum (CAM-HERO) 2022 Research Methodology and Bioethics Training with the objective to describe the knowledge gained and the self-efficacy of health professionals and clinical scientists. A survey was conducted during the one-day training among health professionals and clinical scientists. Participants took an online self-administered questionnaire before and after the training related to the topics taught. The questionnaire consisted of two parts: 1) 18 Multiple Choice Questions (MCQs) to assess knowledge and 2) Nine items to evaluate self-efficacy using a five-point Likert scale. Mean scores were calculated, analysed, and compared using paired t-test for the pre- and post-test results. A total of 30 participants (57% women) completed the socio-demographic form. The median age (IQR) of participants was 33.5 (13.3) years. We registered 38 respondents for the pre-test and 33 respondents for the post-test. There was a rise in knowledge mean score from 13.0 to 14.8 (p=0.001) and an improvement in the perception of self-efficacy with a mean score increase from 2.9 to 3.7 (p < 0.001). Knowledge and perception of self-efficacy on research methodology improved among participants after the training. These results suggest that the CAM-HERO 2022 training had an immediate positive impact on skills and self-efficacy. Hence, we recommend the implementation of this training on a larger scale, periodically, and with long-term follow-up to evaluate its impact.

Influence of customer physical resource on customer loyalty : A mediation study

The notions of resource integration and value co-creation have become popular after the emergence of the Service-Dominant Logic. Several research investigations have been made to understand organizational resources and capabilities but research initiatives in the field of customer resources have been relatively scarce. Moreover, discussions on resource based capabilities have been mostly confined to strategic management and never explored with respect to marketing or consumer behaviour. This study by considering resource based capabilities as the exogenous variable and customer loyalty as the endogenous variable explores whether strategic resource capabilities have any implications in the domain of consumer behaviour. Based on Eric Arnould’s customer resource classification, this study investigates whether the higher order customer physical resource reflected through cognitive absorption, trust propensity and perceived self-efficacy can mediate between online grocers’ resource based capability and the customers’ store loyalty. The study was conducted in the Bengaluru city of India using snowball sampling technique and the data were analysed using PLS SEM. The result suggests that customer physical resource does mediate between online grocery store’s resource based capability and store loyalty. This research initiative has brought forth an altogether new perspective in understanding customer loyalty. Loyalty does not only depend on the value which is delivered by the firms but it is also influenced by the level of resource contributed by the customers’ themselves during the shopping process. Also, this study for the first time has demonstrated that cognitive absorption, trust, propensity and perceived self efficacy can be the manifestations of personal resource which is a contribution to the extant literature.

The Role of Employability Skills and University Support towards Employability: A Mediation of Self-efficacy

The study aims to delve into the factors influencing self-perceived employability among university students in Vietnam, while also scrutinizing potential gender disparities in these determinants. Employing a cross-sectional design, the research employs structural equation modeling to analyze data gathered from 306 students across various academic disciplines. The study evaluates constructs including perception of employability skills, perception of university support, self-efficacy, and selfperception of employability. Furthermore, a multigroup analysis is conducted to discern any variations in the relationships between these constructs across genders. Results from the structural equation modeling unveil noteworthy gender differences in these relationships. Specifically, while the perception of employability skills significantly impacts the self-perception of employability among males, self-efficacy emerges as a more influential predictor among females. Additionally, the multigroup analysis suggests that the influence of perception of university support on self-perception of employability remains consistent across genders. Nonetheless, a slight gender discrepancy is observed in the relationship between perception of employability skills and self-efficacy, prompting further exploration. These findings illuminate the intricate interplay of employability-related factors and gender in shaping students' perceptions of their employability. The study advocates for tailored interventions that account for these gender-specific influences to enhance employability outcomes among university students.

COMPORTAMENTO ECOEMPREENDEDOR NO CONTEXTO PANDÊMICO

ABSTRACT In this study, we examined ecopreneurial behavior in the COVID-19 context by analyzing the influence of moral obligation and environmental engagement on the perception of empathy, ecopreneurial self-efficacy, and environmental value creation. Primary data was collected from 130 Atlantic Forest Connection Project participants. Data analysis was performed using PLS-SEM. Six of eight hypotheses were supported. Our study confirmed that empathy and self-efficacy perception are influenced by higher moral obligation levels. Results also indicate that more environmentally engaged ecopreneurs have higher levels of self-efficacy and environmental value creation. On the other hand, the premise that a feeling of morality could positively impact environmental value creation arising from the business was contradicted. Similarly, the hypothesis that environmental engagement positively influences ecopreneurial empathy has not been confirmed. Thus, we advanced on ecopreneurship by opening a new research direction for testing the explanatory power of variables that have not been tested so far. The research also offers practical insights for policymakers and educators involved with ecopreneurship. In the same way, we shed light on farmers and agriculture. Additionally, we present contributions directly related to the UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDG) Agenda.

Teaching Self-Efficacy at Primary Education in Greece

The parent quantitative research deals with teaching self-efficacy in primary education in Greece. The research aims to investigate teachers’ teaching self-efficacy in primary education in Greece. Specifically, an attempt is made to investigate how primary school teachers evaluate their level of self-efficacy regarding teaching tasks, managing disciplinary incidents in the classroom, and motivating students to be actively involved in the classroom and learning tasks, how the self-efficacy of primary education teachers from their educational experience and studies and what are the possible obstacles to the self-efficacy of these teachers. A sample of primary education teachers was recruited for this purpose. The research shows that the overall self-efficacy perception of teachers is exceptionally high with teachers considering themselves to be more effective in managing the classroom and implementing teaching strategies/educational approaches. Also, the self-efficacy of primary school teachers seems to be influenced by their educational experience and studies. Instead, it seems that teachers’ overall self-efficacy perception is related to factors such as the stress and pressure they experience, the degree of effectiveness they generally feel as individuals, and their goals.

Research on the Design of Intelligent Recommendation System for Civic and Political Education Content and the Effectiveness Assessment of Students’ Acceptance

Abstract The article improves the traditional collaborative filtering algorithm, integrates it with the content-based recommendation algorithm, proposes the recommendation algorithm based on the mixture of collaborative filtering and content, and serves as the operation logic for designing the intelligent recommendation system of educational content for Civics class. Model variables are determined using structural equation modeling and relevant hypotheses are presented to construct a model of factors that influence student acceptance of the Civics Intelligent Recommendation System, followed by empirical analysis. The mean values of expectation performance, effort performance, social influence, convenience conditions, self-efficacy, perceived pleasantness, and willingness to use are 3.48, 2.70, 3.61, 2.36, 3.77, 3.84, and 3.73, respectively. Students’ use of the Civic Intelligent Recommendation System is greatly influenced by their perception of pleasantness and self-efficacy. The questionnaire has good reliability and validity in general. The initial model has valid hypotheses H1, H2, H6, H7, H8, H9, H10, and H11. In the analysis of variance, there were significant differences between genders only in performance expectations (0.000) and perceived pleasantness (0.016). Significant differences existed across grades in terms of performance expectations (0.018) and social influence (0.000). The measurement dimension of willingness to use had a moderating effect across majors. Hypotheses H12 and H13 are partially valid, but H14 is valid.

Medication Adherence of Older Adults with Hypertension: A Systematic Review.

Hypertension (HTN) significantly increases the risk of stroke and heart disease, which are the leading causes of death and disability globally, particularly among older adults. Antihypertensive medication is a proven treatment for blood pressure control and preventing complications. However, medication adherence rates in older adults with HTN are low. In this review, we systematically identified factors influencing medication adherence in older adults with HTN. We applied the PRISMA guidelines and conducted systematic searches on PubMed, MEDLINE, and Google Scholar in July 2022 to identify preliminary studies reporting factors influencing medication adherence among older adults with HTN. The convergent integrated analysis framework suggested by the Joanna Briggs Institute for systematic reviews was adopted for data synthesis. Initially, 448 articles were identified, and after title and abstract screening, 16 articles qualified for full-text review. During this phase, three articles were excluded for reporting on irrelevant populations or focusing on issues beyond the review's aim, leaving thirteen studies in the final review. After data synthesis, fifteen themes were extracted from the key findings of the included studies. The most prevalent themes included the number of medications used (53.9%, n=7 studies), financial status (38.5%, n=5), sex (38.5%, n=5), age (30.1%, n=4), duration of disease (23.1%, n=3), comorbidities (23.1%, n=3), and health compliance (23.1%, n=3). Other themes, such as education, health literacy, health belief, medication belief, perception of illness, patient-physician relationship, self-efficacy, and social support, were also identified. The findings of this review highlight critical areas for developing innovative, evidence-based programs to improve medication adherence in hypertensive older adults. Insights from this review can contribute to improving medication adherence and preventing future health complications.

COVID-19 prevention behaviors and dietary habits among undergraduate students: A health belief model approach.

Physical and social disruptions resulted from the COVID-19 pandemic, affecting young adults in higher education. The purpose of this survey research is to unveil COVID-19 related beliefs using the Health Belief Model, and COVID-19 prevention behaviors, including self-reported fruit and vegetable consumption among university students. A cross-sectional survey was administered to 304 male and female undergraduate students from diverse ethnic backgrounds and majors at a New Jersey state university using convenience sampling. Variables measured included frequency of COVID-19 prevention behaviors (e.g.: wearing indoor mask, handwashing), and consumption of fruit and vegetables (dark green and orange vegetables) over the previous week. Health Belief Model constructs were assessed namely perceived susceptibility to COVID-19, severity, benefits, barriers, and self-efficacy. Statistical distributions were computed for the entire sample and t-tests were investigated for subgroups of age and sex. The sample mean age was 21.7 (SD = 4.7) years with 222 females (73%) and 82 males (27%), and 46% identified as White, non-Hispanics. Participants consumed a mean of 0.95 cups of fruit, 0.81 cups of green vegetables, and 0.46 cups of orange vegetables. Female students practiced more COVID-19 prevention behaviors with a mean difference of 0.26 (p<0.001), perceived greater severity from the virus (Δ = 0.37, p = 0.002) and had stronger perceptions of benefits (Δ = 0.18, p = 0.041), barriers (Δ = 0.21, p = 0.046), and self-efficacy (Δ = 0.20, p = 0.020) than their male counterparts. Older students (aged 23 and above) adopted more COVID-19 prevention behaviors (Δ = -0.35, p = 0.001) and perceived less barriers (Δ = 0.24, p = 0.047) than their younger peers. Nutrition educators and health professionals need to emphasize the importance of adopting preventive health behaviors among university students as strategies to mitigate the severity of COVID-19. Addressing barriers younger male and female students may elevate their motivation and self-efficacy to enact health behaviors.

Using a Career Research Project in the Introductory Communication Course to Develop Agency, Self-Efficacy, Self-Determination, and Adaptability in Career Exploration

Helping students make connections between the disciplinary study of communication and the development of student agency in career exploration can be an important part of the mission of the introductory course in communication. This study incorporates social cognitive career theory to examine the effects of a semester-long communication career awareness research project as an intervention in an introductory communication course at a large public university in the Midwest. Survey data from 83 undergraduate students were analyzed to measure perceptions of self-efficacy, perceived competence, autonomy support, and adaptability for career exploration. The results of paired samples t-tests found significant gains on all four dependent variables. These findings indicate the potential for such a project in introductory courses to promote career exploration agency

COVID-19 Pandemic Effects on Student Efficacy in Jazz Performance and Improvisation in Secondary School Musicians

Abstract: This study investigated the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic on secondary students' self-efficacy in jazz performance and improvisation. Students ( n = 38) from secondary-school jazz ensembles attending a jazz festival in a Southwest state participated in a questionnaire about their perception of achievement in jazz performance and improvisation during the 2020–2021 school year with COVID-19 restrictions in place and the year after when restrictions had been eased. Jazz ensemble directors ( n = 8) were interviewed about their experiences and positive and negative outcomes of the two years pertaining to students' self-efficacy. A paired two-tailed t-test revealed that students had a significantly higher self-efficacy perception after restrictions were lifted in jazz performance and improvisation. Directors reported increased competency with technology and a drop in enrollment in their jazz ensembles. Directors also experienced a shift in their educational philosophy, opting for a more empathetic as opposed to a results-based approach to student achievement.

Investigating nurses' self-efficacy in pressure injury management within surgical services.

New research is crucial in addressing the role of nurses in preventing pressure injuries (PIs) and remedying deficiencies in their self-efficacy in this area. The aim of this study was to examine the self-efficacy perceptions of nurses in managing PIs within surgical services. The study involved 186 nurses from surgical services. Data were collected using a self-efficacy scale and a personal information form designed to assess nurses' PI management skills. Analysis involved descriptive (number, percentile) and inferential statistics (ANOVA, t- s) in SPSS-24. Surgical nurses reported their self-efficacy in managing PIs with a mean score of 47.38 ± 21.87 on a self-efficacy scale, indicating a broad range of perceptions. Average scores were 43.55 ± 23.47 for evaluation, 48.39 ± 25.65 for planning, 43.68 ± 25.34 for surveillance, and 50.64 ± 22.23 for decision-making. Of note, nurses reported the lowest self-efficacy scores for evaluation. No significant differences were found based on employment duration, gender, or education. Significant differences were observed based on age, service level, and post-graduate education (P < .05). This study highlights the need for enhanced nurse self-efficacy in PI management in surgical services, emphasizing the role of education programs focused on evaluation skills.

TECHNOLOGY-BASED SELF-REGULATED LEARNING STRATEGIES AND ENGLISH SELF-EFFICACY IN ONLINE LEARNING ENVIRONMENTS

Technology-enhanced learning environments (TELEs) have provided language learners with various opportunities to promote their self-sufficient learning outside the classroom lately. Thus, language learners are no longer passive recipients of language; in contrast, they are autonomous learners who apply self-regulated learning strategies through the medium of technology during their English learning process, which in turn can be associated with their English self-efficacy perceptions. Therefore, the current study aimed to present an investigation into the relationship between preparatory school students’ use of technology-based self-regulated English learning strategies and their perceived English self-efficacy as well as the predictability of employing the strategies on their self-efficacy beliefs. Applying a quantitative research design, the data were collected through the Technology-based Self-Regulated English Learning Strategies Questionnaire (TSRLSQ) developed by An et al. (2020) and the Questionnaire of English Self-Efficacy (QESE) developed by Wang (2004). A statistically significant positive relationship was found between students' use of technology-assisted English learning strategies and their perceived English self-efficacy beliefs. In addition, regression analysis results showed that goal setting and learner evaluation, motivational regulation, and technology-based song-movie learning strategies were strong predictors explaining the change in students’ self-efficacy in four language skills.

A Teacher Training Program for Learning and Teaching about Scientific Reasoning Skills

This study aims to improve science teachers' scientific reasoning skills (SRS) in using and teaching these skills through a professional development program, Scientific Reasoning Skills Teacher Training Program (SRSTP). Forty-five middle school science teachers participated in the study, which was on convergent parallel design. "Scientific Reasoning Skills Assessment Form (SRSAF)" and "Scientific Reasoning Skills Test for In-service and Pre-service Science Teachers (SRSTIPST)" were used to determine the improvement in teachers' use of scientific reasoning skills. Besides, "Self-efficacy Perceptions towards Teaching Scientific Reasoning Skills Assessment Form (SEPSRSAF)" and "Self-efficacy Perceptions towards Teaching Scientific Reasoning Skills Scale (SEPSRS)" were used to determine teachers' self-efficacy perceptions towards teaching them. Findings from SRSAF and SRSTIPST pointed out that teachers' scores in using specific scientific reasoning skills and their ways of making claims, presenting evidence, and reasoning differed significantly after SRSTP. Findings from SEPSRS showed that teachers got significantly higher scores in creating SRS based learning environment, academic proficiency, using SRS in the classroom, assessment of SRS, and instructional ways for teaching SRS after the professional development program. SEPSRSAF supported these findings by revealing that SRSTP allowed teachers to change their efficacy sources from indirect experience to active experiences and improve personal characteristics such as showing empathy. It was also found that teachers' perceptions of teaching SRS shifted towards teacher-related factors after SRSTP. These findings were discussed, and the contribution of the results was explained.

Examining the effects of social studies teachers' self-efficacy perceptions and psychological resilience on psychological well-being during the COVID-19 Pandemic

COVID-19 pandemisinin halk sağlığı ve tıbbi alandaki önemine ilave olarak, iş hayatındaki kısa ve uzun vadeli etkilerine dair çalışmalar da giderek çeşitlenmektedir. Bu çerçevede bu çalışmanın temel amacı, pandemi sürecinde önemli değişim ve dönüşümlere kısa zamanda uyum sağlamak zorunda kalan sosyal bilgiler öğretmenlerinin algıladıkları öz-yeterlilikleri ve psikolojik dayanıklılıklarının psikolojik iyi oluşları üzerindeki etkilerini incelemektir. Bu amaçla, Muğla İl Milli Eğitim Müdürlüğü’ne bağlı okullarda görevli 183 sosyal bilgiler öğretmeninden oluşan örneklemden anket tekniğiyle elde edilen verilere, Stata ve SPSS programları yardımıyla, doğrulayıcı faktör analizi, korelasyon ve çoklu regresyon analizleri uygulanmıştır. Bu analizler sonucunda, katılımcıların öz-yeterlilik algılarının psikolojik iyi oluşları üzerinde pozitif ve anlamlı bir etkisi olduğu bulunmuştur. Fakat, katılımcıların psikolojik dayanıklılık boyutlarından sadece “gelecek algısının” psikolojik iyi oluş üzerinde pozitif ve anlamlı etkisi olduğu tespit edilmiştir. Başka bir deyişle, psikolojik dayanıklılığın kendilik algısı, sosyal yeterlilik, yapısal stil, aile uyumu ve sosyal kaynaklar alt boyutlarının, psikolojik iyi oluş üzerinde anlamlı bir etkisi olmadığı sonucu ortaya çıkmıştır.

The Influence of Infection Control Knowledge, Emergency Nursing Competency, and Infection Prevention Environment on Burnout among Psychiatric Nurses Caring for Patients with COVID-19

Purpose: Psychiatric nurses lack experience caring for patients with acute physical illnesses. Notably, they are expected to have experienced burnout when they were taking care of mentally ill patients infected with COVID-19. This study aimed to determine the impact of infection control knowledge, emergency nursing competency, and infection prevention environment on burnout.Methods: This survey was conducted on 127 psychiatric nurses from February to March 2023 using a structured self-report questionnaire. The collected data were analyzed through multiple regression analysis using the SPSS 28.0 program.Results: The subject's burnout score was 2.83 out of 5, infection control knowledge was 0.69 out of 1, emergency nursing competency was 2.80 out of 4, and infection prevention environment was 3.83 out of 5. Regression analysis showed infection control knowledge (β=-.17, &lt;i&gt;p&lt;/i&gt;=.048) and nurses’ self-perceived efficacy in responding to an emergency (β=.26, &lt;i&gt;p&lt;/i&gt;=.002) were factors affecting burnout, and the explanatory power for burnout was 9% (F=7.22, &lt;i&gt;p&lt;/i&gt;&lt;.001).Conclusion: Based on these results, we believe that infection control is needed. In addition, rather than simply providing education to increase nurses' emergency nursing competence, educational measures are needed to increase nurses' sense of efficacy in responding to emergencies.
