Abstract

Aims and objectives To investigate the relationship of nurse practitioners’ social support as well as other factors associated with perceived self‐efficacy. Background There is a growing demand for nurse practitioners in Taiwan, for whom self‐perceived efficacy is associated with performance. Nevertheless, research on the self‐efficacy and social support of nurse practitioners is limited. Design This is a cross‐sectional survey study. Methods Questionnaires were distributed to nurse practitioners in seven hospitals in northern Taiwan from May 2015 to March 2016. In total, data from 335 (78% return rate) certified nurse practitioners were analysed. Social support was measured by the Multidimensional Scale of Perceived Social Support (MSPSS) and the Job Content Questionnaire (JCQ), and perceived self‐efficacy was measured by the General Self‐Efficacy Scale (GSE). Data were analysed by ANOVAs with post hoc test and multiple linear regression. Results The mean score for self‐efficacy was 27.60 ± 6.17. Support scores were 11.574 ± 2.37 for supervisors, 12.795 ± 1.92 for coworkers and 64.07 ± 10.16 for family, friends and significant others. nurse practitioners in the high monthly salary group had significantly higher self‐efficacy than nurse practitioners in the medium and low monthly salary group (F = 8.99; p
