Abstract

Self-efficacy is the belief in achieving a task/performance that affects all periods of the lives of individuals and varies according to the individual, time, and performance, depending on many internal factors such as family/social environment, educational environment, and experience. Academic self-efficacy is the belief that academic tasks will be completed. Self-efficacy is closely related to problem-solving skills and academic achievement. The development of nursing students’ self-efficacy will provide positive contributions to their academic and post-graduate professional lives. This review examines self-efficacy, academic- self-efficacy concepts, related factors, and studies conducted on nursing students’ self-efficacy. It is intended to guide the efforts to enhance nursing students’ self-efficacy.
