ABSTRACT

This study was conducted to identify the relationships among clinical competency,professional self-concept and satisfaction of clinical practice in undergraduate nursing students. Methods : The participants consisted of 253 students who were enrolled in 6 undergraduate nursing schools. Data were collected by using a questionnaire which consisted of Clinical Competency,Professional Self-Concept and Satisfaction of Clinical Practice. Results : The mean score for clinical competency was 3.52(range 1~5). The professional self-concept was 2.82 out of 4, and the satisfaction of clinical practice was 3.23 out of 5. There were significant professional correlations among clinical competency, professional self-concept and satisfaction of clinical practice. The construction of a multiple regression model revealed an adjusted R2 of 0.429 with the professional self-concept score serving as the major predictor variable for clinical competency. Conclusion : The main factors affecting clinical competency are professional self-concept, satisfaction of clinical practice and academic achievement. Therefore, we should reinforce the current curriculum to intensify the professional self-concept and improve the clinical competency of nursing students through effective education programs.
