Abstract: 이 연구 목적은 국가고시를 앞둔 간호대학생의 자기효능감과 사회적지지가 시험불안에 미치는 영향을 확인하는 것이다. 연구대상자는 3개 간호대학의 212명 학생을 편의 추출하였으며, 자료는 2015년 12월동안 자가기입식 질문지로 수집되었다. 자료는 SPSS/WIN 18.0을 이용하여 서술 통계, t-test, one-way ANOVA, $Scheff{\acute{e}}$ test, Pearson correlations과 multiple regression을 하였다. 시험불안의 평균은 2.84( ${\pm}0.53$ )로 중간 정도였으며, 자기효능감과 사회적지지의 평균은 각각 3.50( ${\pm}0.54$ )과 3.72( ${\pm}0.48$ )로 중간이상이었다. 시험불안은 자기효능감(r=-.32, p<.001), 사회적지지(r=-.27, p<.001), 친구지지(r=-.21, p=.002), 가족지지(r=-.25, p<.001), 교수지지(r=-.14, p=.038)와 부적상관을 보였다. 자기효능감, 가족지지, 성별은 시험불안을 13%설명하였다. 이 연구는 자기효능감과 가족지지를 높이는 것은 시험불안을 낮추는데 도움이 될 것임을 제시한다. This study was designed to examine the effects of self-efficacy and social support on test anxiety among nursing students taking the National Examination for Registered Nurses. A convenience sample of 212 nursing students was obtained from three nursing colleges. Data were collected by a self-administered questionnaire during December 2015. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics, t-test, one-way ANOVA, $Scheff{\acute{e}}$ test, Pearson correlations and multiple regression with SPSS/WIN 18.0. The mean score for test anxiety was located in the middle range, with the score of $2.84{\pm}0.53$ ; those for self-efficacy and social support were located higher in the 1-5 scale, each scoring $3.50{\pm}0.54$ and $3.72{\pm}0.48$ . Test anxiety correlated negatively with self-efficacy (r=-.32, p<.001), social support (r=-.27, p<.001), friends support (r=-.21, p=.002), family support (r=-.25, p<.001) and professor support (r=-.14, p=.038). Self-efficacy, family support and gender explained 13.0% of participants' test anxiety (F=11.01, p<.001). Findings from this study suggests that improving the self-efficacy and family support will be helpful for nursing students to relieve their test anxiety.
