Abstract:
Purpose:This study aimed to identify the variables related to the confidence of Korean nursing students in performing core nursing skills and to examine the effect sizes of correlations between the related variables and that confidence.

The effect size of the variables related to confidence in performing core nursing skills were, in order, task competencies (effect size, ESr=.47), socio-emotional competencies (ESr=.45), professionalism competencies (ESr=.40), and personal thinking competencies (ESr=.33).
Conclusion:The results of this study are valuable when giving consideration to the variables related to nursing students’ confidence in performing core nursing skills for developing management and education programs to enhance those core nursing skills.
