Abstract

This study aimed to clarify the relationship between self-efficacy and mental health in nursing university students. The general self-efficacy scale and the Japanese version of the General Health Questionnaire (GHQ12) were used to assess levels of self-efficacy and mental health in a questionnaire survey of 89 fourth-year students at a single nursing university. Responses obtained from 74 students (recovery rate: 83%) were analyzed. The results revealed a negative correlation between the self-efficacy and mental health levels that were measured with the standardized self-efficacy score and the total GHQ-12 score.
