Abstract: This study aimed to estimate the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic among nursing students that would negatively affect their clinical training satisfaction, self-esteem, and academic achievement. This is a cross-sectional study conducted among nursing students who were in clinical training during the COVID-19 pandemic period in Jeddah city from December 2019 to December 2020. A self-administered questionnaire was distributed among the nursing students using an online survey. The questionnaire was composed of basic demographic data (i.e. gender, GPA, training level, etc.), a 15-item satisfaction questionnaire, and the Rosenberg self-esteem scale to measure the self-esteem of the nursing students. As results of this study, we found that, Of the 106 nursing students, 81.1% were females and 36.8% had a GPA rating of 4.5 to 5. The majority demonstrated high satisfaction levels (77.4%). The mean self-esteem score was 24.5 (SD 24.5) out of 36 points with low self-esteem had been detected in 11.3% of the nursing students. Being a junior training level was the factor associated with increased satisfaction scores while gender female and poor GPA rating were the factors associated with decreased self-esteem scores; we conclude from the study the nursing students' clinical training satisfaction and self-esteem during the COVID-19 pandemic were high. The poor academic rating seems to influence nursing students' self-esteem but not their level of satisfaction.
