Purpose: To identify the correlation between clinical practice stress, major satisfaction, and academic burnout among paramedic students to provide basic data for reducing clinical practice stress and suggesting ways to improve major satisfaction. Methods: Data were collected from paramedic students experienced in clinical practice after obtaining their consent online and offline. The data collection period was from May 1 to June 30, 2024, and 150 questionnaires were analyzed using SPSS 28.0. Results: The participants’ clinical practice stress was 2.47 out of 5 points, their major satisfaction was 3.45 points, and their academic burnout was 2.77 points. The higher the clinical practice stress, the significantly lower the major satisfaction (r=.432, p<.001) and the significantly higher academic burnout (r=.508, p<.001), and the higher the major satisfaction, the significantly lower the academic burnout (r=.520, p<.001). Conclusion: Considering the characteristics that show significant differences among subjects, it is necessary to provide prior education and management for clinical practice, and develop and apply various educational programs and career exploration opportunities to prepare for a career that suits your aptitude.
