Abstract: The purpose of this study is to identify the factors affecting career adaptability in nursing students, focusing on positive psychological capital, problem-solving ability, and clinical competence.

The results indicated that positive psychological capital (β=.87, p<.001) was the significant factor affecting career adaptability (F=197.050, p<.001), explaining 78.6% of the variance. Based on these findings, it is recommended to use this study as foundational data for developing nursing education programs to enhance career adaptability in nursing students.
