Abstract
This study was conducted to evaluate the factors affecting the quality of life before and after clinical practice for nursing students. The data were collected from 256 nursing students in the third and fourth years at H college and G University through a questionnaire from February 19 to June 29, 2018. The collected data were compiled using the SPSS/WIN 18.0 statistical program with Paired t-test, ANOVA, Spearman rho Correlation, Kendall Correlation, and Multiple Linear Regression. The factors that significantly explained the quality of life of nursing students before and after clinical practice were the reason for application (t=5.268, p<.001), school record (t=4.771, p<.001), depression (t=-4.600, p<.001), monthly income (t=3.383, p=.001), and satisfaction in nursing department (t=3.344, p=.001). The coefficient of determination for these factors, R2, showed an explanation force of 68.5%. These results also inferred that the quality of life of nursing college students is high, with high satisfaction in nursing departments and regular school record and low economic hardship and depression. Therefore, programs should be developed that can improve the quality of life of nursing students before and after clinical practice by continued improvement in the controllable factors of school record and satisfaction in nursing departments and by reducing depression, since the reason for application and the monthly income of nursing students cannot be controlled.
