Abstract
VENTURA-EGOAVIL, Jose and SOSA-HUICHI, Alexander. Self-efficacy, self-esteem and engagement among Peruvian nurses during the COVID-19 pandemic. Enferm. glob. [online]. 2023, vol.22, n.70, pp.1-22. Epub June 26, 2023. ISSN 1695-6141. https://dx.doi.org/10.6018/eglobal.528511.
Introduction:
Nursing professionals have faced the COVID-19 pandemic and health crisis on the front lines. Caught without technical and material readiness, as well as without previous experience, they resorted to using their own resources such as self-esteem and self-efficacy to raise their performance and uphold their commitment to public health. It has been reported that one third of the 37,000 nurses working in Peru contracted COVID-19, and approximately 180 died from the virus.
Objectives:
Measure the influence of personal resources on engagement among professional nurses during the COVID-19 pandemic.
Methods:
Cross-sectional explanatory correlational research from a sample of 387 Peruvian nursing professionals. A descriptive and inferential statistical analysis was performed. IBM SPSS Statistics V/26 software was used.
Results:
The results showed highly significant and positive correlations between the variables self-efficacy, self-esteem and engagement. Likewise, predictive values of more than 50% of personal resources on engagement were identified.
Conclusions:
Professional nurses during the pandemic perceived themselves with an average level of self-efficacy, high levels of self-esteem, and a medium level of engagement. Personal resources, self-efficacy and self-esteem, were able to predict the engagement of professional nurses in the dimensions of vigor, dedication and absorption.
