The Power of Self-efficacy-based Interventions in Fostering Caring Self-efficacy and Overcoming Job-related Stress and Perceived Stigma Among Psychiatric Nurses

People with high self-efficacy set goals to challenge and improve their task achievement rate; however, people with low self-efficacy tend to have fluctuation in their ways of thinking, which results in dampened spirits. Self-efficacy affects mental health. Therefore, psychiatric nurses' achievements that affect their self-efficacy may differ from those of general workers or other nurses. In such a situation, psychiatric nurses feel that uncertainty of care and an unmotivated appearance of the patient can lead to reduced self-efficacy. Consequently, nurses are likely to give up active involvement with patients who will not be leaving the hospital.

What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure	Measure Description	Time Frame
Caring Efficacy	The Caring Efficacy Scale developed by Coates,3 is a 30-item, 6-point, Likert- type self-report scale (strongly disagree -3 to strongly agree +3), which assesses nurses' caring efficacy (i.e. confidence relating to ability to express a caring orientation and develop caring relationships with patients).	3 months
Psychiatric Nurses Job Stress	Psychiatric Nurses Job Stress Scale (PNJSS): was developed by Yada, (2011) and modified by Yada, (2015). It concerned with nurses' stressors in psychiatry departments by contributing to the self-care of psychiatric nurses and the line care of managerial staff. it containing 22 items.	3 months
perceived stigma	Perceived devaluation and discrimination scale (PDD): is a 12-item tool which measures the extent to which a person believes that most people will devalue or discriminate against someone with a mental illness. PDD was measured on a 4-point Likert scale with possible scores ranging from 1 to 4 agreement scale (1 = strongly disagree, 2 = disagree, 3 = agree, and 4 = strongly agree)	3 months
