The Relationship Between Attitudes Towards Academic Self-Efficacy and Self and Peer Assessment in Turkish Nursing Students: A Cross-Sectional Study

Nurs Open. 2024 Nov;11(11):e70094. doi: 10.1002/nop2.70094.

ABSTRACT

OBJECTIVES: Academic self-efficacy (ASE), as well as self (SA) and peer assessment (PA), is associated with the subjective judgements of the individual. The correlation among these concepts merits further research. This study aims to examine the correlation between nursing students’ attitudes towards ASE and SA and PA.

DESIGN: This is a correlational cross-sectional study.

METHODS: The sample consisted of 1401 nursing students from five universities in Istanbul, Turkey. The study employed the proportional quota sampling method. The data were collected using a Personal Information Form, View Scale for Peer and Self-Assessment and ASE Scale. Descriptive statistics and multiple linear regression model (stepwise) tests were used to analyse the data.

RESULTS: Descriptive statistics revealed that 82.2% of the participants were female and their Academic Grade Point Average was 3.00 ± 0.48. As a result of the regression analysis, it was determined that students’ age, gender, perception of academic achievement, status of receiving PA training and attitudes towards doing PA and self-assessment significantly predicted their ASE score.

CONCLUSIONS: Students’ ASE was found to be medium-level, their attitudes towards peer and self-assessment were high and SA and PA attitudes was associated with ASE.

PATIENT OR PUBLIC CONTRIBUTION: A total of 1401 undergraduate nursing students from five undergraduate universities participated in the study and responded to questions on ASE, peer assessment, self assessment, etc.
