Objective: Self-efficacy and problem solving are the main concepts of nursing and midwifery education. This descriptive study was conducted to identify the students’ self-efficacy levels and to examine the relationship between self-efficacy and problem-solving. Material and Methods: Totally volunteer 251 nursing and midwifery students were participated to the study. Socio-demographic Data Form, the Self-efficacy Scale and the Problem Solving Inventory were used to collect the data. The data was analyzed with the SPSS 15.0 package using Mann-Whitney U, Kruscall Wallis, ANOVA and Pearson correlation tests. Results: The students’ self-efficacy scores were found to be above mean (87.90 (± SD 12.54)) and problem solving scores were below mean (91.51 (± SD 22.83). No significant difference was found between nursing and midwifery students in terms of their self-efficacy and problem solving levels (p>0.05). However, self-efficacy and problem solving levels of fourth year nursing students who reported that they received problem solving training were significantly higher than the rest of sample (p<0.05). Positive correlation was found between self-efficacy belief and perceived problem solving. Results showed that better problem solving skill, leads to an improved self-efficacy. Conclusion: There are mutual effect between the concept of self-efficacy belief and problem solving skill. Further studies are needed to examine the students’ characteristics, curriculum, learning environment and teaching strategy in terms of self-efficacy belief and problem solving.
