Professor-student interaction is an important component of higher education as the core of tertiary education activities. The contact between professors and students in the field of university education has a positive effect on students' academic achievement and experiences, and promotes the growth and development of students. Despite the growing importance of the professor-student interaction, studies on the professor-student interaction in nursing research are very scarce. Therefore, this study was attempted to suggest future research directions by analyzing domestic nursing research trends on professor-student interaction and to provide basic data for facilitating professor-student interaction. For this purpose, a total of 10 papers were selected based on the selection and exclusion criteria of this study among nursing studies on professor-student interaction published in domestic academic journals. The general characteristics, key variables, and key findings were analyzed for the selected papers. As a result, the key variables on the professor-student interaction were classified into four categories: Academic achievement, college life satisfaction, affective characteristics, and career-related. Key findings were categorized into two categories; Correlation with other variables, evaluation factor of learning method. Results indicate that professor-student interaction is an important component in nursing education. Therefore, it is necessary to activate the interaction between professors and students in nursing. Nevertheless, there are only a few nursing studies on professor-student interaction in Korea. For the future, a concept analysis, a qualitative study to understand the characteristics of the interaction phenomenon between professors and students of the nursing, and an exploration of the individual characteristic factors of nursing students related to professor-student interaction are needed. In addition, nursing professors need to actively attempt to interact with students.
