Understanding these factors among second-year nursing students at Camarines Sur Polytechnic Colleges can help identify strategies to boost confidence and overcome anxiety, ultimately enhancing clinical competence. This study aimed to determine the level of perceived self-confidence and clinical practice anxiety among second-year nursing students at Camarines Sur Polytechnic Colleges. A descriptive-correlational method was employed to determine the levels of perceived self-confidence and clinical practice anxiety, identify the factors that influence perceived self-confidence and clinical practice anxiety, the significant relationship between the profile of the respondents and the factors that influence the perceived self-confidence and clinical practice anxiety, and propose a plan to enhance self-confidence and provide strategies to overcome clinical practice anxiety. The study utilized a questionnaire that was disseminated through Google Forms to 256 randomly selected second-year nursing students. Several statistical tools were employed, including percentage technique, weighted mean, Likert scale, and chi-square test, to analyze the data. The results showed that the respondents were 18-20 years old, the majority were female, and their religion was Roman Catholic. The level of perceived self-confidence and clinical practice anxiety was interpreted as moderate. For the intrinsic factors that influence perceived self-confidence and clinical practice anxiety, it was interpreted as influenced. For the extrinsic factors, the interpretation was also influenced. In addition, there is a significant relationship between the respondent's profile and factors that influenced perceived self-confidence and clinical practice anxicty in terms of age in extrinsic factors. Understanding the factors influencing perceived self-confidence and clinical practice anxiety is essential for improving nursing students' clinical performance. By identifying these factors and their connections to student profiles, this study provides a foundation for developing targeted strategies to boost confidence and overcome anxicty in clinical practice.1 aInson, Serge Anthony B.,eauthor.1 aMorandarte, John Lester S.,eauthor.1 aMorte, Mary France B.,eauthor.1 aTabarangao, Runy N.,eauthor.  aAmoroso, Mari Len A.,eadviser.  aFucio, Alma L.,echair, panelist.  aTigue, Kenny B.,epanelist.  aAbinal, Jocyl Darrel B.,epanelist.  2ddcn0cUMhA117piBSNkUTHm2025  00102ddc4070aCSPCbCSPCcUTHd2026-09-16l0oUTH BSN A117p 2025p007526UMr2026-09-16 20:58:22t1-1w2026-09-16yUM  c33292d33292
