Exploring the Link Between Core Self-Evaluation and Social Anxiety in Male Nursing Interns
October 14, 2025 - 05:30
A recent study has shed light on the relationship between core self-evaluation and social anxiety among male nursing interns, highlighting the significant mediating role of self-acceptance. Core self-evaluation, which encompasses an individual's self-esteem, self-efficacy, and emotional stability, plays a crucial role in shaping how individuals perceive themselves and their social interactions.
The research indicates that higher levels of core self-evaluation are associated with lower levels of social anxiety. This suggests that nursing interns who possess a positive view of themselves are better equipped to manage social situations that may typically induce anxiety. Furthermore, self-acceptance emerged as a vital factor in this dynamic, acting as a bridge between core self-evaluation and social anxiety levels.
By fostering self-acceptance, nursing programs may help alleviate the social anxiety experienced by male interns, ultimately enhancing their educational experience and professional development. This study underscores the importance of psychological factors in the training and well-being of future healthcare professionals.
