The self-efficacy of nurses in assessing and screening child development may help them accurately screen and stimulate children's development. This quasi-experimental one-group pretest-posttest research design aimed to study the effects of a nurses’ self-efficacy enhancement program on screening and stimulating development of early-stage children using the Thai Early Developmental Assessment for Intervention (TEDA4I) assessment guide for early-stage children with developmental problems. The sample consisted of 40 nurses who participated in a three-session self-efficacy enhancement program. Data were collected using a self-efficacy assessment tool designed for screening and stimulating early childhood development, based on the TEDA4I assessment guide for early-stage children with developmental problems. The tool was validated with an Index of Item-Objective Congruence (IOC) of .89 and demonstrated high reliability with a Cronbach’s alpha coefficient of .99. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics and a paired t-test.
The results indicated that after participating in the self-efficacy enhancement program, the nurses had significantly higher average scores (M = 85.45, SD = 9.30) than before the program (M = 71.98, SD = 12.59, t = 6.007, p < 0.01).
The self-efficacy enhancement program could enhance nurses’ self-efficacy in screening and stimulating child development with the TEDA4I, reflected by the higher average scores, which is likely to improve the effectiveness of developmental screening and stimulation in early childhood.
