THE EFFECT OF SELF-EFFICACY TRAINING ON NURSING STUDENTS’ ANXIETY IN FACING THE NATIONAL OBJECTIVE STRUCTURED CLINICAL EXAMINATION (OSCE) IN MEDAN CITY
Abstract
Nursing students are future professional nurses who must undergo the National Objective Structured Clinical Examination (OSCE) as a graduation requirement. The implementation of the National OSCE often triggers anxiety, which, if not properly managed, can lead to depression, decreased self-confidence, and poor academic performance. One effective intervention to reduce anxiety is self-efficacy training. This study employed a quasi-experimental design with a one-group pretest-posttest approach to examine the effect of self-efficacy training on students' anxiety in facing the National OSCE. The study population consisted of all nursing students in Medan City, with a sample of 40 participants selected through purposive sampling. Data were analyzed using the Paired Sample T-Test. The results showed that self-efficacy training had a significant effect in reducing students’ anxiety related to the National OSCE.
Keywords: Self-efficacy, Anxiety, Nursing Students, National OSCE
