| Summary: | With expanded nursing roles emerging in the health care system, it is imperative to identify psychological barriers that can limit the potential of these practitioners. If feelings of inadequacy exist in the RNFA, the nurse may pursue tasks that are less than those of which the person is capable. The purpose of this study was to ascertain if RN First Assistants (RNFA) experience the impostor phenomenon, an intense, subjective feeling of achievement-related fraudulence. The Impostor Phenomenon Scale, a 14 item, 7-point Likert Scale, was self-administered to 109 registered nurse First Assistants to determine the degree of security and comfort they experience in their roles. The results of this research indicated that the RNFA sample did not experience the impostor phenomenon. The demographic data presented some facts that can possibly explain the high degree of competency that RNFAs perceive in their role. | |
