(Churchill Livingstone, 2014) Orgun F.; Karaoz B.
Background: Epistemological beliefs in their most general form define an individual's subjective beliefs about what knowledge is and how knowing and learning occur. Objectives: To investigate epistemological beliefs and the Self-efficacy Scale in nursing students. Design: Prospective survey study. Settings: University School of Nursing. Participants: Nursing students. Methods: Outcome parameters included Nurses' Descriptive Characteristics Data Form, Epistemological Beliefs Questionnaire and Self-efficacy Scale. Results: As for the subscales of epistemological beliefs, Effort Subscale was 38.89. ±. 11.62, Ability Subscale was 24.02. ±. 6.19 and Unchanging Truth Subscale was 30.65. ±. 5.74. Total score of the self-efficacy subscales was 74.39. ±. 13.59. It has been determined that the majority (60.8%) of nursing students have chosen the nursing profession willingly, 82.8% of them like the nursing profession and 59.8% of students have a good perception of their own academic achievements. Conclusions: Understanding student's epistemological beliefs, trying to improve them and creating suitable learning environments for the development of self-efficacy should be the aim of an education that values individual differences. © 2013 Elsevier Ltd.
