Abstract

This study was conducted to identify factors influencing clinical performance among nursing students who experienced clinical practice due to COVID-19 and provide basic data to improve clinical performance. This study collected data from October 10 to October 27, 2023, targeting 144 students at two nursing schools in G Province. The collected data were analyzed using descriptive statistics, difference analysis (t-est, on-way ANOVA), correlation, and hierarchical regression analysis. As a result of the study, in Model 1, extrovert and mixed personality types were found to be significant predictive factors explaining clinical performance. The goodness of fit of Model 1 was statistically significant, and the explanatory power was 9.2% (F=8.256, p<.001). In Model 2, interpersonal skills and confidence in nursing skills appeared as significant predictive factors explaining clinical performance ability. Confidence in nursing skills was the best predictor of clinical performance, followed by interpersonal skills. The explanatory power of the model was 50.1%, an increase of 41.3% compared to Model 1. Model fit was also statistically significant. Simulation education that reproduces various situations should be strengthened to increase opportunities to perform direct nursing and improve nursing students' nursing capabilities. If you improve your confidence in nursing skills and interpersonal skills through simulation education, your clinical performance will ultimately improve, and this will be able to be demonstrated as a nursing competency when employed as a nurse.

본 연구는 COVID-19로 이후 임상실습을 경험한 간호대학생을 대상으로 임상수행능력에 미치는 영향요인을 파악하여 임상수행능력 향상을 위한 기초자료제공을 위해 수행되었다. 본 연구는 G도 소재의 간호학과 2곳의 재학생 144명을 대상으로 2023년 10월 10일부터 10월 27일까지 자료수집하였다. 수집된 자료는 서술통계와 차이분석(t-est, on-way ANOVA), 상관관계, 위계적 회귀분석으로 분석하였다. 연구결과 모델 1에서는 성격유형 중 외향적과 혼합적이 임상수행능력을 설명하는 유의한 예측요인으로 나타났다. 모델 1의 적합도는 통계적으로 유의하였고, 설명력은 9.2%였다(F=8.256, p<.001). 모델 2에서는 대인관계능력과 간호술기자신감이 임상수행능력을 설명하는 유의한 예측요인으로 나타났다. 간호술기자신감이 임상수행능력을 가장 잘 예측하는 요인이었고, 그 다음으로 대인관계능력이었다. 모델의 설명력은 50.1%였고, 모델 1에 비해 41.3% 증가하였다. 모델적합도도 통계적으로 유의하였다. 직접간호 수행의 기회를 높이고 간호대학생의 간호역량을 향상시키기 위해 다양한 상황을 재현하는 시뮬레이션 교육이 강화되어야 한다. 시뮬레이션교육을 통해 간호술기자신감과 대인관계능력을 향상시키면 결국 임상수행능력이 향상되고 이는 간호사로 취업되었을 때 간호역량으로 발휘될 수 있을 것이다.
