The purpose of this study was to investigate the actual state of violence and self-esteem by college nursing students from doctors, nurses, patients, and care givers during clinical practice education, analyze the association between their experience of violence and self-esteem. And provide basic data that could help develop programs to prevent college nursing students from experiencing violence in clinical practice education and measures to cope with the violence. 157 college nursing students who experienced clinical practice education over two terms participated in this study. The results showed that college nursing students were most frequently exposed to verbal abuse in clinical practice. And nurses, patients and care givers accounted for the largest percentage of offenders. The result shows that the more experience of violence, the lower the self-esteem. Violence prevention education is provided by college or hospitals, and only 37.6% of all students are educated. Therefore, it is necessary that education and regulations of schools and training institutes are needed to prevent violence experience of nursing college students and to cope with violence.
