Methods Data were collected from February 10 to 20, 2022 through online questionnaire survey. participants were 181 students in the 3rd and 4th grades of nursing colleges located in Daegu and Gyeongbuk. The SPSS/23.0 program was used to analyze the data with descriptive statistics, independent t-test, one-way ANOVA, Pearson’s correlation coefficient and Hierarchical multiple regression. Results Nursing students' life satisfaction in the COVID-19 pandemic showed significant differences in support motivation, number of counseling, academic performance, and major satisfaction. Perceived social support(r=.49, p<.001) and spiritual well-being(r=.46, p<.001) showed positive correlation between life satisfaction, perceived stress(r=-.54, p<.001) showed negative correlation between life satisfaction. In hierarchical multiple regression analysis, Explained variance for the life satisfaction was 45% and perceived social support(β=-.27, p<.001), perceived stress(β=-.27, p<.001), spiritual well-being(β=.21, p=.002) and major satisfaction(β=-.19, p=.002) were significant factors influencing the life satisfaction of nursing students(F=14.31, p<.001). Conclusions In order to increase the life satisfaction of nursing students in the COVID-19 pandemic, it is important to reduce the perceived stress by continuously applying social support programs, and it is necessary to develop and apply a spirituality program to increase the spiritual well-being of nursing students.
