Background and Aim: Clinical education, by integrating theoretical knowledge with cognitive, psychological, and motor skills, enables midwifery students to effectively apply learned concepts in real clinical environments. Self-efficacy, defined as one’s perception or judgment of his/her ability to perform specific tasks, significantly influences thoughts, emotions and actions. This study aims to determine the level of self-efficacy of midwifery students studying at Islamic Azad University in clinical setting, and to explore its relationship with their demographic and educational characteristics.
 Materials and Methods: This descriptive cross-sectional study was conducted during the academic year 2023–2024 among 3–8 semester midwifery students of Tehran Islamic Azad University of Medical Sciences. A census approach was employed to select the sample, meaning that all eligible students in these semesters were included in the study. Data were collected using the General Self-Efficacy Scale (GSE-10) alongside a structured demographic and educational characteristics questionnaire. Statistical analyses including descriptive and inferential statistics (independent samples t-test and ANOVA) were used to examine the study hypotheses and research questions.
Results: The mean self-efficacy score of the participants was 28.55 ± 4.90 out of a total of 40, indicating a relatively high level of self-efficacy among the students. No statistically significant differences were observed between the mean scores of self-efficacy in terms of mean scores eviation— age, academic semester, number of completed clinical credits, housing status, marital status, or university enrollment status. However, employment status was significantly associated with self-efficacy scores (p <.05).
Conclusion: Findings of this study indicated that the midwifery students possessed a high level of self-efficacy in clinical environments. To better identify the strengths and weaknesses of midwifery students, future research employing more specialized instruments to assess self-efficacy across various areas of midwifery duties—such as prenatal care, childbirth, and episiotomy—is recommended.
