Satisfaction with clinical practice was found to have a positive correlation with self-leadership(r=.221, p=.002) and clinical competence(r=.262, p<.001), and self-leadership and clinical performance(r=.050, p=.494) showed no correlation. The variables affecting clinical practice satisfaction were self-leadership(β=.251, p<.001) and clinical competence(β=.208, p=.003), and the explanatory power of these variables was 10.4%.
