Exploring the Connection Between Online Learning Self-Efficacy and Engagement in Nursing
September 26, 2025 - 10:46
Introduction: Learning engagement is a vital predictor of essential professional competencies in nursing, but the factors that influence it are not fully understood. Recent research has delved into the relationship between online learning self-efficacy and learning engagement among registered nurses. The study highlights the mediating roles of achievement motivation and the psychological state known as flow.
The findings suggest that nurses who possess higher levels of self-efficacy in their online learning endeavors tend to demonstrate greater engagement in their educational activities. Furthermore, the study indicates that achievement motivation significantly influences this relationship, acting as a catalyst that drives nurses to engage more deeply with their learning materials. Additionally, the state of flow, characterized by complete immersion and focus, also plays a crucial role in enhancing learning engagement.
These insights are particularly important in the context of ongoing professional development in nursing, as they underscore the need for tailored support systems that bolster self-efficacy and foster motivation among nurses engaged in online learning programs.
