This study was conducted to identify the grit, nursing practice proficiency, nursing competency of perianesthesia nurses and to identify factors affecting nursing competency. 
this study was conducted with 175 participants at a conference of Anesthesia Nursing Society in South Korea at september 12, 2020. Data were analyzed using frequency, percentage, mean, standard deviation, independent t-test, one-way ANOVA, Scheffé test, Pearson correlation coefficient and stepwise multiple regression using the SAS 9.4 program. 
Results of the study Nursing competency was found to have a significant positive correlation with grit (r=.21, =.006) and Nursing practical proficiency (r=.59 <.001). the factors that significantly influenced nursing competency were nursing practical proficiency (=.51, =<.001), educational background (=.17, =.008), and marital status (=-.16, =.011). These variables explained 39.6% of the variance in nursing competency. Based on the results of this study, in order to improve nursing competency by increasing the nursing practice proficiency of perianesthesia nurses, it is necessary to develop a professional practice education program to create a learning environment that can provide evidence-based practice through continuous education.
