This study aimed to investigate the learner factors, facilitator factors, and expected outcomes that constitute simulation practice and to identify the factors influencing simulation practice on learners' Nursing competencies. This descriptive research was conducted between October 2024 and November 2024 with 150 students at a nursing college in Jeju-si. The most influential variable on nursing competencies was clinical performance (β=.64, p<.001), followed by simulation teaching method (β=.35, p<.001), problem-solving ability (β=.19, p=.001), and simulation design characteristics (β=.17, p=.039), and the explanatory power of these variables was 64%. This study identified four factors that affect the nursing competencies of simulation -based training learners: clinical performance, simulation teaching method, problem-solving ability, and simulation design characteristics. These findings should be reflected in the learning outcomes of the nursing education curriculum to develop simulation programs that can strengthen nursing competencies. We expect that these programs can be applied in various ways in the field of practical education
