Not Applicable

• Conditions: Caring Efficacy
• Interventions: Behavioral: self-efficacy-based interventions

• Registration Number: NCT05952414
• Lead Sponsor: Alexandria University

Brief Summary

People with high self-efficacy set goals to challenge and improve their task achievement rate; however, people with low self-efficacy tend to have fluctuation in their ways of thinking, which results in dampened spirits. Self-efficacy affects mental health. Therefore, psychiatric nurses' achievements that affect their self-efficacy may differ from those of general workers or other nurses. In such a situation, psychiatric nurses feel that uncertainty of care and an unmotivated appearance of the patient can lead to reduced self-efficacy. Consequently, nurses are likely to give up active involvement with patients who will not be leaving the hospital.

Detailed Description

The intervention aims at increasing self-efficacy and consists of Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT)-based exercises related to sources of self-efficacy beliefs: 1) mastery experiences, 2) vicarious experiences, 3) verbal persuasions, and 4) emotional and physiological states.
