The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of academic engagement, academic self-efficacy of problem solving ability in nursing students. Data were collected from 219 nursing students in B city and analyzed by descriptive statistics, t-test, ANOVA, Pearson correlation coefficient, and multiple regression using SPSS/WIN 22.0. The degree of problem solving ability in nursing students was 4.00±0.51. There were significant differences in problem solving ability with major satisfaction(F=9.476, p<.001), class satisfaction (F=3.079, p<.001). There was positive correlation between problem solving ability and academic engagement (r=.560, p<.001), academic self-efficacy(r=.634, p<.001). There was positive correlation between academic engagement and academic self-efficacy(r=.769, p<.001). The factors affecting problem solving ability of the study subjects were academic engagement(β=.177, p=.031), academic self-efficacy(β=.498, p<.001), with an explanatory power of 41.0%. Therefore to increase aacademic engagement and academic self-efficacy of nursing students, it is necessary to develop the program for improving the problem solving ability of nursing students.
