Abstract
In practical pharmacy training, summarized assessments using a rubric are employed to accurately assess overall performance and mastery level. One of the determinants of performance is personality. The General Self-Efficacy Scale（ GSES） assesses the self-awareness of one's potential to perform the required action. Similar to personality traits, it is thought to influence behavior and motivation across different situations, thereby impacting trainee performance. This study aimed to explore the relationship between GSES and summarized assessment in practical pharmacy training, as well as assess the usefulness of GSES as a possible indicator for improving trainee performance. A correlation analysis between the GSES and summarized assessments of six trainees revealed that, among the three GSES factors, only "fear of failure" correlated with most items in the summarized assessment, showing a significantly positive correlation with the mean overall evaluation score. The summarized assessment indicated a strong relation with "fear of failure." Trainees with low scores in "fear of failure" may be hesitant to engage in practical work due to this fear. Therefore, appropriate guidance and follow-ups are essential for those who experience failure during training. This study will help devise instructional methods that align with the self-efficacy of individual students.
