Purpose : This study was conducted in order to closely examine the influence in nursing students’ academic self-efficacy, nurse image and clinical reasoning ability upon clinical performance as for the online clinical practice in the COVID-19 era. Methods : As a descriptive survey research, this study was carried out targeting 264 nursing students who are attending 4 universities in Seoul Metropolis, Gyeonggi Province and Gangwon Province from november 1, 2020 to december 30. The use of SPSS 23.0 program led to implementing descriptive statistics. Results : There is a significant impact on clinical reasoning ability with β=0.599(p<.001) in the nurse image, β=0.424(p<.001) in the academic self-efficacy, and β=0.793(p<.001) in the clinical performance. A sign of β is positive(+), thereby having indicated even the higher clinical performance given the growth in the nurse image, the academic self-efficacy and the clinical performance. Conclusion : Through the above findings, various learning strategies will need to be designed so that the nurse image, the academic self-efficacy and the clinical reasoning ability can be promoted in a nursing educational institution aiming at improving the clinical performance in nursing students as a senior who experienced the online clinical practice in the COVID-19 era.
