Abstract

Methods: The study is based on descriptive and relational design. Ethics committee approval was obtained before the study, the formula n = t2 x p x q / d2 was used in the sample calculation, and data were collected in a digital environment. Results: Self-efficacy levels are observed to be high in nurses involved in the COVID-19 process. It has been found that age, gender, educational background, affiliated institutions of participants does not affect self-efficacy. The self-efficacy level is high among nurses who are satisfied with the unit they work in. Besides, those with high levels of anxiety also have high self-efficacy total and subscale scores. It can be said that those with high anxiety are constantly on the alert and are more diligent in patient care and professional practice. Conclusion: It has been observed that workplace satisfaction is important to increase the self-efficacy of nurses, and relevant improvements should be achieved to provide them comfort and increase their satisfaction.
