Abstract

PURPOSE
The purpose of this study was to identify the effects of experiences on the essential of fundamental nursing skills (EFNS) on clinical competence in nursing students. METHOD: The data was collected using a questionnaire from 233 students who completed the 2nd grade courses of nursing curricula in college. Data was analyzed using the SPSS program.
RESULTS
Only 3 items of EFNS showed that over 70% of the students had performed, and 12 items showed that under 30% of the students had performed. There are significant differences with level of experiences on EFNS and the clinical competence. The regression model explained 2.4% of clinical competence.
CONCLUSION
The results suggest that nursing students with higher level of experiences on EFNS will have a higher level of clinical competence. Therefore, it is necessary to develop strategies for a more effective clinical nursing education to experience more EFNSs.
