The Relationship Between Nursing Students' Attitudes Toward Clinical Practice and Their Professional Motivation: A Cross-Sectional Study
Abstract
Background: Nursing students' attitudes and professional motivation significantly impact skill acquisition, learning outcomes, and identity development.
Objective: To examine the relationship between nursing students' clinical attitudes and motivation.
Methods: This cross-sectional study collected data via Google Forms in November-December 2023. Students completed the Attitudes Toward Clinical Practice Scale (ASCP) and Motivation Sources and Problems Scale (MSPS). Statistical analysis included descriptive tests and Pearson correlation (p<0.05).
Results: Participants (mean age: 21.23±1.81; 78.3% female) scored 91.1±21.1 on ASCP and 81.91±15.3 on MSPS. Attitudes differed by department choice, education duration, and satisfaction with nursing (p<0.05). Motivation varied by gender and satisfaction (p<0.05). A strong positive correlation was found between attitudes and motivation (r=0.771, p=0.000).
Conclusion: Nursing students showed positive attitudes and high motivation, highlighting the need to promote these factors for better education quality.
Keywords: Clinic, education, motivation, nursing, student.
