Abstract
Aim: The purpose of this study was to determine whether self-efficacy mediated the relationship between
anger expression and interpersonal competency in South Korean nursing students.
Background: Interpersonal competency allows nursing students to increase their self-confidence in caring
for patients. There is evidence of complex relationships between anger expression, self-efficacy and
interpersonal competency. Self-efficacy could be considered a potential mediator in the association between
anger expression and interpersonal competency in nursing students. However, few studies have investigated
the mediatory role of self-efficacy in this association.
Methods: A descriptive, cross-sectional study was conducted. In total, 207 Korean nursing students
completed a structured questionnaire. Measurement tools included the State-Trait Anger Expression
Inventory, Self-efficacy Scale and Interpersonal Competence Questionnaire.
Findings: Significant correlations were observed between anger expression, self-efficacy and interpersonal
competency. Self-efficacy exerted a partial mediatory effect on the relationships between interpersonal
competency and anger-in and anger-control within the anger expression subscales.
Conclusion: The study demonstrated that appropriate anger expression could result in enhanced
interpersonal competency via an increase in self-efficacy.
Implications for nursing and health policy: The results concerning the mediatory role of self-efficacy in
the association between anger expression and interpersonal competency have provided new knowledge for
nursing educators, managers and researchers, allowing them to support nursing students’ interpersonal
competency. Nursing schools should be required to evaluate students’ anger expression patterns and to
increase self-efficacy when developing education programmes that provide interpersonal training for nursing
students.
