Outline of Final Research Achievements

We have developed scales that can measure the self-efficacy of psychiatric nurses. The developed scale consists of "the Improved Self-Efficacy Scale(ISES)" and "the Decreased Self-Efficacy Scale(DSES)", and the "ISES" is possible to measure "Positive changes in the patient" and "Prospect of continuing in psychiatric nursing", the "DSES" is possible to measure "Devaluation of own role as a psychiatric nurse", "Decrease in nursing ability due to overload" and "Difficulty in seeing any results in psychiatric nursing".

Academic Significance and Societal Importance of the Research Achievements

精神科看護の現場に即した自己効力感を測定できる尺度は我々が知る限りなく、本尺度は海外への学術的波及効果が期待できる。
現在、職場のメンタルヘルスケア対策としてストレスチェック制度が導入されている。本研究において開発された尺度は、精神科看護の現場におけるストレスチェック制度と合わせて実施されることで、より包括的なメンタルヘルスケアへつながる可能性がある。
