ABSTRACT

The transition period between basic clycle and clinical cycle in dental students has shown to have integration problems, been influence by career and student´s factors. Within the lasts it´s the self-efficacy, defined as the impression that one is able to perform in a certain way and to achieve certain goals.
Aim: This work focuses on validate an instrument to assess the cognitive variable selfefficacy of clinical competencies perceived student of Dentistry.
Method: No experimental quantitative study of relational analytical scope.This is a It was determined as universe dental students enrolled in fourth, fifth year and intership, obtaining a sample availability of 76% (169 students). It was realized an Exploratory Factor Analysis using the straction method of Principal Axes Analysis.
Results: The Kaiser-Guttman criterion identified only one factor with eigenvalue greater than 1.0, and these eigenvalues of 5.76, which explain 82.40% of the items total variance. Cattell criteria by the scree plot also clearly identified a single factor. Internal consistency reliability coefficient using Cronbach´s Alpha was 0.896, considered as good reliability. Determining the discriminative ability of the items on the of self-efficay of clinical competencies it is observed that all items provide information to the variable, so remain on the scale. Conclutions: According to the results of psychometric analysis, it is valid to be used to measure the study variable.
