Abstract

This study addresses the scarcity of data concerning self-efficacy and its influence on the quality of life among healthcare professionals during the COVID-19 pandemic. Specifically, the research aims to investigate the impact of the COVID-19 outbreak on the quality of life and overall sense of self-efficacy among frontline nurses. A quantitative-correlational approach was employed to gather data from 180 staff nurses working at government-subsidized premier hospitals in Hail City, Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. Convenience sampling was used, and the study was conducted at King Khalid Hospital, King Salman Specialist Hospital, and Hail General Hospital. Results indicate that gender did not exhibit a significant difference in general self-efficacy (GSE) (t=1.812; p>0.072), but it was found to be significant in relation to quality of life (QOL) (t=2.771; p=0.006). Civil status showed a significant difference in GSE (t=-3.668; p<0.000), while it did not have a significant impact on QOL (t=-.746; p>.456). Nationality revealed significant differences in both GSE (t=2.341; p=.020) and QOL (t=3.578; p<0.001). Additionally, age exhibited significant differences in both GSE (F=23.656; p<0.000) and QOL (F=34.087; p<0.000). Educational attainment was also found to be significant for both GSE (F=5.563; p<.001) and QOL (F=4.286; p=0.006), while years of experience showed significance in relation to GSE (F=6.416; p=0.002) and QOL (F=10.193; p<0.000). Furthermore, a significant correlation was observed between GSE and quality of life (r=.610; p<0.000). Gender (except for GSE), nationality, age, educational attainment, and civil status (except for QOL) were identified as influential factors affecting both GSE and QOL. These findings can inform policymakers in developing educational activities aimed at enhancing the general self-efficacy and quality of life of nurses.
