The study aimed to determine nurses' self-efficacy levels for safe transfusion of blood and blood components. The design of this study is descriptive and cross-sectional. Before starting the study, ethics committee approval and institution approval was obtained. The participants were informed about the purpose of the study, and their written consent was obtained. The research was conducted between the dates 01 March 2022 and 01 May 2022, a private hospital in Turkey. The study sample consisted of 482 nurses. Data were collected using descriptive characteristics form and the Safe Blood and Blood Products Transfusion Self-Efficacy Scale (SBT-SES). The total SBT-SES scores of the nurses were high (202.7 ± 50.1), and the behavioral sub-factor self-efficacy scores were moderate (48.2 ± 19.5). When the SBT-SES scores were analyzed based on demographic characteristics, it was found that those who had received previous safe blood transfusion training scored higher than those who had not, and women scored higher than men (p < 0.05). In addition, no relationship was found between age, working time, number of weekly blood transfusions, and self-efficacy levels. As a result, nurses' self-efficacy levels towards blood transfusion are high. However, the behavioral sub-factor self-efficacy level is not sufficient. Based on these results, in order to increase the behavioral self-efficacy levels of nurses, our recommendations are as follows: investigating appropriate training methods, considering the sex factor when choosing training methods and techniques, investigating the barriers to safe transfusion behaviors, and measuring self-efficacy levels at regular intervals.

护士在安全血液和血液成分输注方面的自我效率水平：以土耳其为例


该研究旨在确定护士安全输血和血液成分的自我效能水平。本研究的设计是描述性和横断面的。在开始研究之前，获得了伦理委员会的批准和机构的批准。参与者被告知研究的目的，并获得他们的书面同意。该研究于 2022 年 3 月 1 日至 2022 年 5 月 1 日期间在土耳其一家私立医院进行。研究样本包括 482 名护士。使用描述性特征表和安全血液和血液制品输血自我效能量表（SBT-SES）收集数据。护士的SBT-SES总分较高（202.7±50.1），行为子因素自我效能感得分中等（48.2±19.5）。当根据人口特征对SBT-SES评分进行分析时，发现接受过安全输血培训的人得分高于未接受过安全输血培训的人，并且女性得分高于男性（p < 0.05）。此外，年龄、工作时间、每周输血次数和自我效能水平之间没有发现任何关系。因此，护士对输血的自我效能感较高。然而，行为子因素自我效能水平还不够。基于这些结果，为了提高护士的行为自我效能水平，我们的建议如下：调查适当的培训方法，在选择培训方法和技术时考虑性别因素，调查安全输血行为的障碍，并测量定期自我效能水平。
