Abstract

Self-efficacy is an extensively studied, yet underutilized, indicator of the effectiveness of current education, the measurement of which could contribute to planning the direction of future education. An efficacy expectation is the conviction that one can successfully execute the behavior required to produce the outcomes (Bandura, 1977). This article presents the results of a study that compared the self-reported self-efficacy of newly hired nurses before and after a nurse residency program.

Keywords: bridge program; new nurse orientation; nurse residency program; self-efficacy.
