Abstract
Purpose: The purpose of this study was to examine the influence of attribution disposition and self-efficacy on clinical practice competence of nursing students. Methods: A descriptive survey design was used. Participants were 214 nursing students who were collected using a structured questionnaire. Data were analyzed by frequencies, t-tests, ANOVA, Pearson correlation coefficients and multiple stepwise regression via spss win 21.0. Results: The total mean score for attribution disposition was <TEX>$3.73{\pm}0.46$</TEX>, self-efficacy was <TEX>$3.20{\pm}0.42$</TEX>, and clinical competence was <TEX>$3.44{\pm}0.47$</TEX>. Clinical competence is significantly and positively correlated with attribution disposition (r=.179, p=009) and self-efficacy (r=.379, p<.001). In a multivariate approach, predictors included explained 33.5% of variance in clinical competence. Significant predictors of clinical competence were attribution disposition (<TEX>${\beta}=.245$</TEX>, p<.001), self-efficacy (<TEX>${\beta}=.380$</TEX>, p<.001), and satisfaction with the nursing (<TEX>${\beta}=.246$</TEX>, p<.001). Conclusion: Development of an effective intervention program is needed to improve nursing students clinical practice competence, attribution disposition and attribution disposition of nursing students.
