| dc.description.abstract | Background: Clinical practice experiences are critically important to achieve the maximumlevel of clinical competence after receiving adequate theoretical and practical instructions.However graduates have problems in doing some easy duties .Most new bachelor graduates haveadequate theoretical knowledge but lack competence in the clinical environment.The objective of this study was to assess factors affecting clinical practice competence ofundergraduate health science student in Hawassa University, medical and health ScienceCollege. Methods: Institutional based Cross-sectional study was carried among 345 Bsc nursing,midwifery and health officer student and FGDs were carried among four groups. Simple randomsampling was applied to select study subject. Descriptive analysis was employed to describe thepercentages and number distributions of the respondents for socio-demographic characteristics.Bivariate analysis was used to see the association of independent with the dependent variable.Crude and adjusted odds ratios together with the corresponding 95% confidence intervalscomputed. A P-value ≤ 0.05 considered statistically significant in this study.
