Path analysis the influence of self-efficacy and professional identity on attitudes toward prescriptive authority among oncology nurse specialists

Oncology nurses have more positive attitudes toward prescriptive authority. In addition, self-efficacy positively and indirectly affects nurses' attitudes toward prescriptive authority through the mediating effect of occupational identity. This can be used as a basis for clinical practice to take targeted measures to improve nurses' self-efficacy and occupational identity, thus creating favorable conditions for effectively implementing the policy of prescriptive authority.
