Background: COVID-19 forced many colleges and schools of nursing to abruptly pivot face-to-face learning to online formats. Online teaching is not new, but some faculty have not taught in a virtual environment and rapidly transitioning courses online was challenging. It is not known if teacher self-efficacy was impacted by these circumstances.
Objectives: We aimed to assess online teacher self-efficacy of nursing faculty who transitioned at least one-face-to face course to an online format. We hypothesized that faculty with previous online teaching experience and greater self-rated instructional support would demonstrate higher online teacher self-efficacy scores compared to faculty who had little or no online teaching experience or reported less satisfaction with instructional support.
Design: A cross-sectional, descriptive design was used.
Setting: Faculty from ten universities across the United States were recruited.
Participants: Nursing faculty (N = 84) who transitioned at least one face-to-face course to an online format during COVID-19 were included in the study.
Methods: Participants completed the 32-item Michigan Nurse Educators Sense of Efficacy for Online Teaching (MNESEOT) instrument and a demographic questionnaire which included items about prior online teaching experience and instructional support.
Results: Participants scored overall teacher self-efficacy high (75th percentile). "Computer skills" were scored highest while "student engagement" scored lowest. Prior online teaching was a predictor of higher online teacher self-efficacy; however, instructional support was not a predictor of higher online teacher self-efficacy.
Conclusion: Nursing faculty reported a high level of online teacher self-efficacy during an abrupt pivot from face-to-face teaching to a virtual format. Pre-emptive opportunities to teach online can build self-efficacy for novice faculty. Faculty and students will benefit from improving student engagement skills, especially during isolating and overwhelming events such as the COVID-19 pandemic.

Background: In Chinese higher vocational colleges, students often underperform academically and experience burnout from studying. Developing learning self-efficacy may directly and indirectly address these challenges, and differences in learning self-efficacy between male and female students may have varying effects on their burnout.
Aims: We examined the mediating relationships between learning self-efficacy, learned helplessness and learning burnout among Chinese higher vocational college students, as well as the gender-related differences in these relationships.
