Abstract
Self-efficacy is the main driving force for shaping the character of self-directed learning in medical education. One of the clinical skills that must be achieved in a doctor^s competence is medical emergency skills. The Faculty of Medicine of Unjani has a local content of medical emergency which is achieved in the undergraduate and the clinical stage. This study aims to determine the differences in the self-efficacy of undergraduate and clinical students on emergency medical skills and its influencing factors. This study used a mixed-method with an explanatory design. The quantitative method uses a Bandura^s self-efficacy questionnaire with a total of 40 respondents in each group. The qualitative method used FGD with 9 respondents at the undergraduate stage and 12 respondents at the clinical stage. The results of quantitative research showed a significant difference (p>0,05) and higher self-efficacy scores in clinical students. In quantitative data analysis we found that the influencing factors to increase their efficacy among undergraduate students was the skills laboratory and clinical simulation method- while the clinical students tend to have more efficacy due to clinical authority, feedback from the clinical instructor, and the sense of their local content. Further research should explore more about the impact of students^ self-efficacy in their performance.
