Purpose : This study was conducted to identify the influence of self-esteem and the image of a nurse and its impact on satisfaction with clinical practice among nursing students who experienced clinical practice during the COVID-19 outbreak. Methods : Between September 30 to October 15, 2020, 128 nursing students in their third and fourth grade of K and C colleges completed a self-report structured questionnaire. The data were analyzed using descriptive statistics, t-test, ANOVA, Pearson’s correlation coefficients, and hierarchical regression analysis using the SPSS/WIN 22.0 program. Results : The mean score on the total clinical practice satisfaction was 3.52±0.43. Clinical practice satisfaction was higher in the fourth grade students than in the third grade students(p＝.014) and showed a statistically significant positive correlation with self-esteem and the image of a nurse(p＜.001). The variables explained the satisfaction with clinical practice by 29.3%. Conclusion : In order to increase the satisfaction with clinical practice of nursing students during the COVID-19 outbreak, it is necessary to develop educational interventions that strengthen positive images of nurses and increase self-esteem.
