Background It is important to pay attention to the quality of college life to improve the self-efficacy of students. The present study aims to investigate the role of the quality of college life in predicting the academic self-efficacy of nursing students in Iran.
Methods This descriptive cross-sectional study was conducted in 2024 on 217 nursing students of Gonabad University of Medical Sciences. The data collection tools included Mahdi’s quality of college life scale in Persian and Owen and Froman’s College Academic Self-Efficacy Scale. Data analysis was done in SPSS software, version 20 using descriptive statistics (mean and standard deviation) and inferential statistics (Pearson’s correlation test and multiple regression analysis).
Results There was a significant and positive relationship between the quality of college life and academic self-efficacy (r=0.884, P<0.01). The results of multiple regression analysis showed that 24% of the variance in students’ academic self-efficacy was explained by the dimensions of the quality of college life: Professors’ teaching quality (P=0.01), classroom environment (P=0.028), cultural diversity in the university (P=0.023), medical facilities (P=0.025), sanitation status and environment of the university (P=0.041), recreational/sports/welfare services of the university (P=0.019) and the conditions of university library (P=0.045)
Conclusion The quality of college life is a significant predictor of academic self-efficacy in nursing students. Therefore, it is recommended to pay special attention to the quality of college life in these students to strengthen their academic self-efficacy.
