Data collection was conducted from May 1 to May 16, 2019, and 186 questionnaires were used for analysis and analyzed through SPSS/WIN 28.0. The average of the participants's self-leadership was 3.44 points, the average of clinical competence was 3.82 points, and the average of clinical practice satisfaction was 3.69 points. Satisfaction with clinical practice was found to have a positive correlation with self-leadership(r=.221, p=.002) and clinical competence(r=.262, p<.001), and self-leadership and clinical performance(r=.050, p=.494) showed no correlation. The variables affecting clinical practice satisfaction were self-leadership(β=.251, p<.001) and clinical competence(β=.208, p=.003), and the explanatory power of these variables was 10.4%. Therefore, in order to increase the satisfaction of nursing students in clinical practice, it is necessary to develop a program that can improve self-leadership and clinical competence.
