Introduction: Motivation plays a key role in adaptation of nursing students to their education programs. Many factors affect motivation. One of those factors appearing recently is the COVID-19 pandemic. However, the effect of the pandemic on motivation levels of nursing students is unclear.
Methods: The study has a descriptive and cross-sectional design. The study was carried out in a nursing department at a university in Turkey. The study sample included 145 students enrolling in Surgical Diseases Nursing Course during the spring term of the 2020-2021 academic year. A sociodemographic data form and Motivation’s Resources and Problems Scale were used for data collection.
Results: The mean scores of the students on Motivation’s Resources and Problems Scale and its subscales intrinsic motivation, extrinsic motivation and negative motivation were 90.84±11.35, 43.59±6.67, 21.50±2.61 and 25.75±5.66 respectively. Intrinsic motivation and extrinsic motivation of the students had a positive relation with their perceived nursing profession during the pandemic.
Conclusions: Students’ feeling afraid and worried during the caregiving process in the COVID-19 pandemic increased their motivation. Their perceptions about nursing during the pandemic also increased their motivation levels.

Giriş: Motivasyon, hemşirelik öğrencilerinin eğitim programlarına uyumlarında anahtar rol oynamaktadır. Motivasyonu etkileyen birçok faktör vardır. Son zamanlarda ortaya çıkan bu faktörlerden biri de COVID-19 pandemisi. Ancak pandeminin hemşirelik öğrencilerinin motivasyon düzeylerine etkisi belirsizdir.
Yöntem: Araştırma tanımlayıcı ve kesitsel bir desene sahiptir. Araştırma Türkiye'de bir üniversitenin hemşirelik bölümünde gerçekleştirilmiştir. Araştırmanın örneklemini 2020-2021 eğitim-öğretim yılı bahar döneminde Cerrahi Hastalıklar Hemşireliği Dersine kayıt yaptıran 145 öğrenci oluşturmuştur. Verilerin toplanmasında sosyodemografik veri formu ve Motivasyon Kaynakları ve Sorunları Ölçeği kullanılmıştır.
Bulgular: Öğrencilerin Motivasyon Kaynakları ve Problemleri Ölçeği ve alt ölçeklerinden içsel motivasyon, dışsal motivasyon ve olumsuz motivasyon puan ortalamaları sırasıyla 90.84±11.35, 43.59±6.67, 21.50±2.61 ve 25.75±5.66'dır. Öğrencilerin içsel motivasyonları ve dışsal motivasyonları ile pandemi sürecinde algıladıkları hemşirelik mesleği arasında pozitif bir ilişki bulunmuştur.
Sonuç: Öğrencilerin COVID-19 pandemisinde bakım verme sürecinde korku ve endişe duymaları motivasyonlarını artırmıştır. Pandemi sürecinde hemşirelik algıları da motivasyon düzeylerini artırdı.
