Validating Nursing Students’ Self-Efficacy Ratings and Urinary Catheterization Skills Using Simulation and iPad Video Debriefing

The clinical research project involves improving confidence in skill acquisition prior to graduation using the Clinical Skills Self-Efficacy Scale (CSES). This scale was used to gather data for the pretest and posttest evaluation. The Clinical Skills Self-Efficacy Scale was developed to explore the relationship between self-efficacy and clinical skills acquisition. Clinical skills acquisition is an essential component of nursing education. A student’s perception of self-efficacy can serve as a guide for developing confidence in clinical skills and as an internal standard for improving them.
