Abstract This study aims to provide basic data of nursing education and develop various programs to improve academic self-efficacy that is required to solve various problems occurring in learning process of nursing students. A self-reported questionnaire was used from May 1 to May 30 on nursing students in the C Province. A total of 145 copies were distributed and 129 copies recollected. Excluding 6 copies with insufficient answers, 123 copies were analyzed. A structured questionnaire was used. This study was analyzed with Pearson's correlation coefficient using SPSS/WIN 18.0 program. Learning attitude and depression (r=-.30 p=.001) had significant negative relationship, while satisfaction to major (r=.43 p<.001), learning motivation (r=.52 p<.001) and academic self-efficacy (r=.70 p<.001) had significant positive relationship. The tolerance of regression model designed for this study was calculated between.68 to.88 and the range of VIF (variance inflation factors) was 1.12–1.46. The analysis result indicates that this regression model has no multicollinearity problem. Durbin-Watson value test conducted to verify independence of residual was also 2.00 which indicated no auto-correlation. As for the result of multiple regression analysis, major satisfaction, depression, learning motivation, and academic self-efficacy explained 54.9% of learning attitude of nursing students (F=38.17, p<.001). Learning motivation and academic self-efficacy were significant variables explaining learning attitude. The higher the learning motivation, the higher the academic self-efficacy, the better the learning attitude.
