Abstract
Background: Understanding the factors that contribute to nursing students' low self-efficacy and high stress levels is necessary to improve educational practices.
Purpose: To determine the impact of self-efficacy and demographic factors on nursing students' stress levels and academic success and to provide strategic recommendations for nurse educators.
Methods: This cross-sectional study included data of 145 nursing students collected using a structured questionnaire that assesses self-efficacy, stress, and covariates. Bivariate and multivariate tests were conducted to explore potential relationships among variables.
Results: The results indicated significant relationships among self-efficacy, stress, and demographic factors. While self-efficacy levels were influenced by gender and marital status, stress levels appeared to be affected by gender, age, and the academic semester. Self-efficacy and stress among nursing students were also significantly associated.
Conclusion: Nurse educators should develop a supportive learning environment, better mentorship programs, and effective mental health awareness to improve students' confidence and academic success.
