Abstract
The purpose of this study was to investigate self-esteem, empathy, communication skill and clinical competency, and to identify the influencing factors on clinical competency of nursing students. The data was collected using questionnaires from 212 nursing students who were 3rd and 4th years in 2 nursing universities in Daejeon, September 2014. Data was analyzed using Pearson correlation and stepwise multiple regression with IBM SPSS 21. Significant relationships were found among self-esteem, empathy, communication skill and clinical competency in nursing students. The result of stepwise multiple regression indicates that communication skill and self-esteem (F=37.010, p<.001) predicts 26.2% in clinical competency. The most powerful predictor was communication skill(${\beta}$=.384, p<.001), next one was self-esteem(${\beta}$=.283, p<.001). In conclusion, to enhance clinical competency for nursing students, it is necessary to develop and utilize a program that enhances communication skill and self-esteem.
