Objectives This study was conducted to provide basic data necessary for the formation of nursing professional values by identifying the effects of nursing students' awareness of patient personal information protection, SNS addiction tendency, and nursing information literacy competency on nursing professional values. Methods A structured self-report questionnaire was used to measure awareness of patient personal information protection, SNS addiction tendency, and nursing information literacy competency to nursing professional values. Data were collected from January 3 to January 20, 2023. Participants were 200 nursing students studying in 1 uni-versity within Gumi Province. Data were analyzed using Independent t-test, ANOVA, Pearson correlation co-efficients, and Hierarchical Multiple regression with the SPSS Statistic 27.0 program. Results The general characteristics that showed significant differences in nursing professional vlaues of nursing students were the average daily use of SNS(F=8.19, p<.001), and the necessity of patient personal information protection education(F=3.21, p<.05). Awareness of Patient Personal Information Protection(r=.529, p<.001) and nursing Information Literacy Competency(r=.647 p<.001) showed a significant positive correlation, and SNS ad-diction tendency(r=.148, p<.05) showed a weak positive correlation. Through Model 2, in which significant general characteristics were input as control variables and independent variables were added, it was found that nursing Information Literacy Competency and awareness of Patient Personal Information Protection had a high influence on nursing professional vlaues of nursing students in that order, and the explanatory power was 47.5%. In other words, the higher the nursing Information Literacy Competency and the higher the awareness of personal in-formation protection, the higher nursing professional vlaues. Conclusions Based on the results of this study, in order to form a nursing professional values for nursing students living in the era of the Fourth Industrial Revolution, it is necessary to develop the ability to utilize nursing in-formation, manage patients' personal information with high protection awareness, and actively utilize the net function of SNS through real-time access to share new information and form relationships with others as a professional.
