Abstract

Currently, the transition from laboratory learning to a real clinical environment often causes psychological stress, such as anxiety, especially among students who lack mental preparedness and optimal adaptability. One factor that can influence anxiety levels is self-efficacy, which is an individual's belief in their ability to complete clinical tasks. This study aims to identify the relationship between self-efficacy and anxiety among nursing students at Klabat University during their hospital internships. The study employs a quantitative method with a descriptive correlational design using a cross-sectional approach. The sample consists of 87 respondents, and data collection techniques utilize total sampling. Data were analyzed using frequency distribution and percentages, as well as the Spearman Rank correlation test. The results showed that students had high self-efficacy (52.9%), while anxiety was in the moderate category (64.4%). Statistical analysis revealed a significant relationship between self-efficacy and anxiety (p-value = 0.001 and r = -0.563). Conclusion: There is a significant relationship between self-efficacy and anxiety among nursing students in performing nursing practice. Conclusion: There is a significant relationship between self-efficacy and anxiety among nursing students in performing nursing practices. Recommendations: Nursing students are advised to improve their self-efficacy by preparing themselves as well as possible, reviewing medical-surgical nursing material, and maintaining a positive mindset during clinical practice. Educational institutions are advised to conduct an evaluation of basic skills prior to clinical practice. Further research is recommended to investigate other factors influencing student anxiety, such as social support, previous practice experience, and academic workload, using a qualitative approach.
