According to the study, the theoretical knowledge is sufficient to participate in the birth action and there is a significant difference between the DKÖ score average (p<0,05) is found. It has been found that there is a significant difference between the scale of self-confidence scale between the scale average (p<0,05) depending on the status of students choosing a career, the reason of the division preference, the theoretical knowledge and practical skills that they think are sufficient, the support of the problems of theoretical courses and clinical practices. The study found that there was a meaningful correlation in the positive direction between the status anxiety points and the constant anxiety points, the external self-confidence, the internal self-confidence and the total self-confidence points (p<0,05). As the situation anxiety points increase, the constant anxiety points, external self-confidence, internal self-confidence and total self-confidence points increase.
