The purpose of this study was to develop the sense of overcoming practicums scale for nursing students and examine its reliability, validity, and related factors. Using the developed sense of overcoming practicums scale, along with the school adjustment scale, practice satisfaction scale, and subjective difficulties sense of scale, an unscored web survey was conducted with 200 new nurses in their first to third year. Three weeks later, 141 participants who agreed to participate in a second survey were surveyed to test the scale’s stability. The results of exploratory factor analysis revealed that the sense of overcoming practicums scale is valid and internally consistent. It consists of 20 items and four factors: “effort and acceptance,” “support from teachers,” “support from nurses,” and “support from family.” In examining the related factors, there was a significant positive correlation especially for “support from teachers” on the school adjustment scale. Significant positive correlations were also found for the practice satisfaction scale, which predicted a positive feeling toward on-site training. However, there were no significant correlations between subjective difficulties sense of scale and the sense of overcoming practicums scale, which were predicted to have negative correlations. It can be thought that further refinement of the subjective difficulties sense of scale item is necessary because of the possibility of other intervening variables.
