The pre-survey consisted of three demographic questions and 27 questions based on the NLN Nurse Educator Competency categories and Bandura’s self-efficacy theory, and two open-ended reflective questions. Faculty then used the self-directed resource guide during the academic fall semester 2021 and at the start of spring semester 2022. A post-self-efficacy survey was then administered, duplicating the 27 questions in the pre-survey and one open-ended question to invite faculty to give additional insight on usefulness of resource guide and identify future needed support. The results were statistically significant (t=2.133, p=0.034), implying the intervention may have made a difference (
