Purpose: This study was conducted to examine the effects of a strength coaching program on nursing students' clinical competence, self esteem, and practice satisfaction. The study was designed using a nonequivalent control group pretest-post test design, and data were collected between January 7 and February 1, 2019. The participants consisted of 41, 3-year nursing students in G City who were assigned to an experimental group (n=21) or a control group (n=20). The data were analyzed using descriptive analysis, a t-test, χ² test, and paired t-test with the SPSS/WIN 21.0 program. After receiving the strength coaching program, a difference was observed in self esteem(t=5.53, p<0.038), and practice satisfaction (t=7.66, p<0.019) of the experimental group. The results of this study indicate that the strength coaching program was effective at increasing self esteem and practice satisfaction in nursing students.
