Abstract
This study aims to investigate factors that affect nursing students' communication skills. For the study, 232 nursing students in a certain region were surveyed from September to October 2020. The data was analyzed using descriptive statistics, t-test, ANOVA, Pearson's correlation, and stepwise multiple regression. As a result, empathy, self-acceptance, and interpersonal competence were found to have a significant effect on the students' communication skills with an explanatory power of 50.7%. As for the relationship between general characteristics and communication skills, variations were seen due to gender (F=-3.86, p=.000) and satisfaction with college life (F=3.02, p=.019). Also, self-acceptance (r=.346, p<.001), empathy (r=.531, p<.001), and interpersonal competence (r=.680, p<.001) had a statistically significant positive correlation with communication skills. In conclusion, to improve the communication skills of nursing students, it is necessary to have specialized communication programs that reflect the curriculum and also programs that help increase empathy and interpersonal competence based on the gender of the student.
