PURPOSE
The purpose of this study was to identify the effects of social support on the relationship between practice stress, emotional labor, and burnout among nursing students. METHODS The sample for this study consisted of 199 students from four universities located in Korea, and had a practicum experience at least one semester before the study began. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics, t-test, ANOVA, Scheffé test, Pearson correlation and hierarchical multiple regression with SPSS/WIN 23.0. RESULTS It was found that: (a) burnout had a positive correlation with both practice stress and emotional labor, whereas a negative correlation was observed with social support; (b) social support mediated the relationship between practice stress and burnout, and (c) social support mediated the relationship between emotional labor and burnout. CONCLUSION Results of the study suggest that social support decreases the negative effects of practice stress and emotional labor on burnout. Therefore, we need to find ways to strengthen social support for students. Citations Citations to this article as recorded by

Factors influencing organizational commitment included social responsibility (beta=.29), friendship (beta=.27), laws and professional codes (beta=.23), and age (beta=.19), with explanatory power of 44.6%.
