This study was conducted to investigate the relationship between depression and communication skills and clinical practice stress among college nursing students. This study targeted 208 nursing college seniors in B city who have experience in clinical practice. Data were collected from September 1-30 2017 and were analyzed using descriptive analyses, t-tests, ANOVA, Pearson's correlation, and Stepwise multiple regression with the SPSS WIN 21.0 program. The average score of communication skills was 3.73, the score of depression was 2.36, and the score of clinical practice stress was 2.88. Significant differences were found in clinical practice stress depending on gender (p=0.002), age (p=0.048), grade (p=0.001), satisfaction with college life (p<0.001), satisfaction with major (p=0.002), desired course (p=0.002), and satisfaction with clinical practice (p<0.001). Clinical practice stress was negatively related to communication skills (r=-0.17, p=0.016) and positively related to depression (r=0.37, p<0.001). Depression, satisfaction with clinical practice, grade, sex and religion had a high explanation rate of 26.9%, indicating that they were meaningful variables that influenced clinical practice stress. Overall, to decrease clinical practice stress among nursing students, it is necessary to develop an intervention program that can prevent and mitigate depression and improve communication skills.

This descriptive study was conducted to investigate the relationship between clinical practice stress, satisfaction with clinical practice, and clinical performance ability of nursing college students and the nursing profession. Data were collected from 240 students in the nursing college. Clinical performance ability (F=1.888, p=0.048) and the nursing profession (F=1.976, p=0.046) showed statistically significant differences depending on the satisfaction of majors. The nursing professional institution contained more population groups that were dissatisfied than satisfied with the majors. Additionally, clinical practice stress was reported to affect satisfaction by 41% of the respondents. Overall, stressful clinical practice, clinical practice satisfaction and clinical performance were found to significantly affect the degree of satisfaction by nursing students. Accordingly, the level of stress experienced during clinical training also affects the performance of clinical practice, and can therefore lead to mistakes. Thus, there is a need to develop future interventions that could reduce the stress experienced by clinical practice nursing students.

Purpose: This study aimedto develop a structural equation model on the relationship among ego-resilience, and teaching effectiveness on clinical education, stress coping style, perceived family support, and satisfaction of clinical practice in nursing students in order to increase the satisfaction of clinical practice. Methods: The subjects were 399 undergraduate nursing students enrolled in 7 universities and participating in 10 clinical practice setting areas in 5 cities in South Korea. The research was conducted from December 5th, 2009 to February 20th, 2010. The structural equation model was used to perform the analysis with the statistics program of SPSS win 17.0 and AMOS 5.0. Results: Teaching effectiveness and family support showed a direct effect on satisfaction of clinical practice, while ego-resilience and stress coping styles showed an indirect effect. The biggest total effect on satisfaction of clinical practice was teaching effectiveness followed by family support, ego-resilience, and stress coping styles respectively, which accounted for 50.9%. Conclusion: Based on outcomes of this study, the proposed model allows better understanding of the satisfaction of clinical practice. This result implies that strategies or intervention programs enhancing extrinsic protection factors, motivation factors, and intrinsic protection factors should be considered. In addition, a structural support system for increasing the satisfaction level of clinical practice in nursing students should also be considered.

Purpose : This study was conducted to provide basic data on the relationship between environmental factors causing stress in clinical practice institutions and stress levels of dental hygiene students. Methods : The research subjects totaled 207 and it was analyzed with structured questionnaires. The collected data were analyzed using an IBM SPSS ver. 20.0. Results : The environmental factors causing stress according to the status of clinical practice institutions was statistically and significantly different in the case of Busan practice areas (p<0.01), dental university hospitals (p<0.001), attendance times prior to 8am (p<0.001), quitting times that surpassed 8pm (p<0.01), and the number of dentists exceeding 4 (p<0.01). It was found to affect the stress level of students when individuals had to stand for a long period of time(p<0.001, ${\beta}=0.254$) and with the use of unfamiliar tools and equipment(p<0.05, ${\beta}=0.178$). Conclusions : As a result of the research conducted, it should be concluded that dental clinics should provide rest areas for individuals to focus on clinical practice. In addition, it is necessary to develop a systematic program that enables students to communicate with students at any time during the training period.

Purpose : Professional self-concept of nurse is a critical factor that strengthens confidence and a sense of professionalism in practice, significantly influencing nurses' intention to stay in their jobs or leave. Establishing a strong professional self-concept during nursing education is essential for shaping a positive professional identity and role. Therefore, this study aimed to examine the level of clinical practice stress, resilience and professional self-concept among third-year nursing students who have completed their first clinical practice, as well as to analyze the relationships among these variables and identify factors influencing professional self-concept. Methods : The study was conducted with 237 third-year nursing students from two nursing departments in H and S cities, all of whom consented to participate in the survey. A structured online questionnaire was used to assess the students' clinical practice stress, resilience, and professional self-concept. Data collection was carried out over a period of approximately three months, from September to November 2023. Data analysis was performed using SPSS 26.0, applying descriptive statistics, independent t-tests, ANOVA, scheffe's test, pearson correlation, and hierarchical regression analysis. Results : Professional self-concept showed a negative correlation with clinical practice stress (r=-0.38, p<.001) and a positive correlation with resilience (r=0.52, p<.001), both of which were statistically significant. The significant predictors of professional self-concept were clinical practice stress (𝛽=-0.45, p=.010), resilience (𝛽=0.36, p<.001), admission motivation*score (𝛽=-0.19, p=.010), major satisfaction*moderate (𝛽=-0.18, p=.004), relationships with friends*moderate (𝛽=-0.13, p=.013), and academic achievement*grade B (𝛽=-0.13, p= .013). These factors explained 45.00 % of the variance in professional self-concept, with clinical practice stress serving as a key predictor. Conclusion : A professional self-concept enhancement program, tailored to individual characteristics, should be developed and implemented from the freshman year to improve nursing students' resilience. This would help reduce clinical practice stress during the clinical performance training phase and establish a positive professional self-concept among nursing students.
