Abstract

Nursing students are effective categories in public health, and their academic selfefficacy and general health can lead to the increasing of their adaptation in accepting job responsibility. This study is concerned with investigation of causal relationship between academic self- efficacy and general health with mediating role of achievement goals in nursing students. Materials & Methods: 75 nursing students in Shiraz Nursing and Midwifery College were selected randomly. Questionnaires of Owen and Froman academic self-efficacy, Midgely, et al., goal orientation, and Goldberg general health questionnaires were used to collect the data. AMOS and SPSS soft wares were used to analyze the data. Results: Model fit indexes indicated that proposed model is fit for data (RAMSEA=0/043, GFI=0/98, NFI= 0/97, AGFI= 0/91). Also, direct effect of academic self- efficacy on general health was significant (Beta= 0/41, P< 0/05), and indirect effect of academic self- efficacy on general health via mastery goals (Data= 0/39), approach goals (Data= 0/33), and avoidance goals were significant as well. Conclusion: Academic self- efficacy influences on general health both directly and via mastery, approaching, and avoidance goals. So creating an academic self- efficacy in nursing students can increase their internal motivation and sense of competence.
