Introduction: Self-efficacy is the belief of individuals in their ability to successfully complete tasks. On the other hand, academic enthusiasm indicates the level of energy, commitment, and student absorption in the learning process and is considered one of the most important predictors of academic success. Therefore, the present study was conducted with the aim of determining the status of enthusiasm and self-efficacy in students of Zabol University of Medical Sciences.
Method: In this descriptive-analytical study, 380 students of Zabol University of Medical Sciences were enrolled in the study in the academic year 1403-1404 using random stratified sampling. Data were collected using the Gonius and Kozo (2015) Academic Enthusiasm Questionnaire and the Owen and Fraunmann Self-Efficacy Questionnaire (CASES), whose validity and reliability had been confirmed in previous studies, and were analyzed using independent t-tests, one-way analysis of variance, and Pearson correlation coefficient and SPSS software version 26.
Results: The mean age of students was 23.16±1.78years, and the mean scores of engagement and self-efficacy were 3.40±0.72 and 107.88±20.97, respectively. The findings indicated no statistically significant relationship between engagement and variables such as gender, marital status, academic level, field of study, or native/non-native status (p>0.05p>0.05).No significant relationship was observed between demographic variables and self-efficacy.
Conclusion: The study results showed that the mean scores for engagement and self-efficacy domains among Zabol University of Medical Sciences students were above average.
