Abstract
Objectives The purpose of this study was to conduct a meta-analysis on variables related to clinical practice stress among Korean nursing students and to find out the effect size of protective and risk variables.
 Methods Literature selection was conducted according to the PRISMA guidelines, and RISS, DBpia, KISS, KCI, ScienceON, NAL, CINAHL, and PubMed were used to search for literature related to clinical practice stress in Korean nursing students. For meta-analysis, CMA Software version 4.0 was used. Through 161 literatures pub-lished by June 18, 2023, the effect size of the correlation between clinical practice stress and related variables of nursing students was calculated.
 Results The variables related to clinical practice stress in Korean nursing students were divided into protective variables and risk variables, and then further subdivided into psychological characteristics and academic charac-teristics to confirm the summary effect size. The overall summary effect size of the protective variables group was ESr=-.159, psychological characteristics area ESr=-.135, and academic characteristics area ESr=-.193, which were medium effect sizes. As for the risk variable group was ESr=.321, psychological characteristics area ESr=.285, and academic characteristics area ESr=.393, which were medium effect sizes.
 Conclusions Based on the results of this study, it is expected that clinical practice stress management programs for nursing students that can reduce risk factors while strengthening protective variables will be developed.
