Abstract
Purpose: This descriptive research study investigated the effects of self-efficacy and socially prescribed perfectionism on test anxiety among nursing students. Methods: This study recruited nursing students at K University located in S city through convenience sampling. A survey was conducted from September 22 to November 4, 2020, using online web questionnaires. A total of 180 answers were analyzed. SPSS 22.0 was used to perform independent t-tests, one-way ANOVA, Scheffé post hoc analysis, Pearson's correlation, and multiple regression analysis. Results: The average test anxiety was 3.27 points out of 6 points. The general self-efficacy was 3.81 points out of 5 points; social self-efficacy was 3.58 points and socially imposed perfectionism was 2.79 points out of 5 points. Variables affecting test anxiety were socially prescribed perfectionism, sex, academic stress, and general self-efficacy, and the explanatory power of these variables was 30.9%. Conclusion: It was confirmed that academic stress, general self-efficacy, and social imposition perfectionism were factors affecting test anxiety among nursing students. Therefore, it is necessary to develop and provide a program to control the factors affecting test anxiety in nursing students to lower test anxiety.
