Abstract
Self-efficacy has been reported to serve as a motivator for goal achievement and to impact care quality and career development choices. Understanding nursing students' self-efficacy to care for older adults can provide an opportunity to identify gaps and develop strategies to shape nursing students' interest in caring for older adults. This study sought to identify the relationship between nursing students' knowledge about, attitudes towards, and self-efficacy to care for older adults and explored nursing students' understanding of their self-efficacy to care for older adults. The study also examined stakeholders' perceptions about nursing students' self-efficacy to care for older adults and how these views shape gerontological nursing education and practice in Ghana. Bandura's self-efficacy theory guided this study.
