The instruments used were the 'Parent-Adolescent Communication Inventory', 'The Center for Epidemiological Studies Depression Scale', 'Suicidal Ideation Questionnaire', and 'School Life Satisfaction Scale'.

The results were as follows: First, there were significant differences in parent-adolescent open communication style, school life satisfaction, and suicidal ideation by school level, and in the relationship with the teacher in school life satisfaction by gender.

Result : There were significant positive correlations between clinical competency and the other variables. The strongest predictors of clinical competency were parent-adolescent intimacy (${\beta}=.33$) and academic record (${\beta}=.21$), and the model explained 11.3% (F=16.04, p<.001) of the variance. Conclusion : The findings indicated that further studies are needed to explore various factors influencing clinical competency and develop education programs for college nursing students.
