摘要：Objective: To investigate general self-efficacy levels and to examine the relationship between self-efficacy and achievement motivation in student nurses in China. <br> Methods: A total of 716 student nurses were enrolled in this study from 7 hospitals in western China. Data were collected using three scales: General Data Scale, Self-Efficacy Scale ( SES) and Achievement Motivation Scale ( AMS) . There were 566 valid questionnaires. <br> Results: The mean general self-efficacy scores of the student nurses were low. There was a sig-nificantly positive relationship between self-efficacy and achievement motivation ( r=0. 432, P=0. 000) . <br> Conclusions: Our findings suggested that self-efficacy was related to age and educational levels, rather than gender and place of residence. Nursing managers should take measures to develop the self-efficacy of student nurses; when self-efficacy is developed, the achievement motivation may then be improved. Achievement motivation may also be improved through the improvement of self-efficacy.
