Perceived self-efficacy and willingness to teach family planning among nursing and midwifery faculty in higher learning institutions in Rwanda
Notice bibliographique
Résumé
BACKGROUND: Promoting family planning (FP) is a key strategy for health, economic and population growth, and achieving sustainable development goals (SDGs) especially SDG 3, which promotes health and well-being for all. The quality of FP services depends on the training of competent nursing and midwifery graduates before entering the workforce. In order to ensure graduates are well-trained and capable of meeting the needs of the population, their teachers need to demonstrate high self-efficacy and willingness to teach FP. However, there is a lack of research on the capacity and willingness of nursing and midwifery faculty to teach FP at higher learning institutions (HLIs) in Rwanda. The objective is to investigate and articulate the perceived self-efficacy and willingness of the nursing and midwifery faculty to instruct HLIs students on FP. RESEARCH DESIGN/METHODOLOGY: We conducted a mixed methods study using a sequential explanatory design among almost all the HLIs (n = 6, 1 institution declined) that train nurses and midwives in Rwanda. One hundred thirty-six nursing and midwifery faculty who were actively teaching FP either in class, simulation lab, or clinical practice were invited to participate in a self-administered questionnaire and four qualitative focused group discussions. Participants answered questions ranking their self-efficacy in four domains from 0 - not confident to 3 - completely confident. Scores were calculated for each domain. A semi-structured interview guide was developed based on quantitative survey findings to gain a deep understanding of the ability and willingness to teach FP. Data were analyzed using thematic analysis. Ethical approval was obtained from the University of Rwanda, College of Medicine and Health Sciences Institutional Review Board. RESULTS: A total number of 89 nursing and midwifery faculty participated in the study and only 85 completed the questionnaires fully, yielding a response rate of 95.5%. The mean age was 40.39 and there were more females (62.4%) compared to their male counterparts (37.6%). Respondents scored highest for perceived self-efficacy in course preparation (mean = 2.37), evaluation and examination (mean = 2.12) and instructor behavior and delivery (mean = 2.35). However, the score was low for clinical practices (mean = 1.79). There was a significant correlation among the four items of self-efficacy (p < 0.05). Being a female, a midwife, and having more years of experience in nursing education were each significantly associated with perceived self-efficacy to teach FP (p < 0.05). In the qualitative phase, 32 study participants participated in four focus group discussions. Four themes were identified: (a) educational background as a determinant of confidence to teach FP; (b) willingness to teach FP; (c) enabling factors of teaching FP; and (d) structural challenges. CONCLUSION: Nursing and midwifery faculty reported inadequate self-confidence in teaching FP in clinical practice. Addressing personal and structural challenges in teaching FP should be a top priority. This requires a collective effort between nursing and midwifery faculty and HLIs to dismantle individual and systemic barriers that hinder self-efficacy and willingness to teach FP. There is a need for HLIs and different stakeholders to invest in training the nursing and midwifery faculty on FP practical skills to have a nursing and midwifery workforce providing up-to-date clinical FP services that will help Rwanda reach the SDGs.
