Preliminary analysis of self-efficacy, coping styles, competitive greatness & nursing students
Dale Hilty
Mount Carmel College of Nursing, USA
T
he purpose of this educational intervention study was to explore the relationship among Wooden's Competitive Greatness
(Hilty, 2018) construct (i.e., being the best you can be when your best is needed, continuous self-improvement, appreciating
difficult challenges), Self-Efficacy (Schwarzer & Jerusaslem, 1995), and Greenglass' et al. (1999) Proactive Coping, Reflective
Coping, Strategic Planning, Emotional Support Seeking scales. Since 43% of new RNs leave their first job within three years
(Goodman, 2016), exploring these variables may provide insight into turnover rates. BSN (N=68) traditional nursing students
were divided into two groups using competitive greatness. Hypothesis: There would be a difference between competitive
greatness high and low scoring groups when the two groups were compared using an Independent t-test on Self-Efficacy,
Proactive Coping, Reflective Coping, Strategic Planning, Emotional Support Seeking scales ESS scales. Using SPSS 25, the
coefficient alpha were Self-Efficacy (.957), Proactive Coping (.816), Reflective Coping (.909), Strategic Planning (.866),
and Emotional Support Seeking (.854). Independent t-test (N=68) analysis found significant differences between the two
participant groups for the Self-Efficacy (p=.002), Proactive Coping (p=.001), Reflective Coping (p=.008), Strategic Planning
(p=.004), and Emotional Support Seeking (p=.028) scales.
