Description
Introduction: Motivation is a reason behind behaviors for acting or
behaving to achieve certain goals. Motivation proposes a vital influence on
academic performance among nursing students, especially during the
clinical program. This study aimed to explore the level of motivation
among nursing students.
Methods: This study was a descriptive study employing a convenience
sampling technique. Eligible participants of 255 nursing students from the
professional nurse study program in Jember District were recruited in this
study.
Results: Findings reported that the mean score of the participant’s
motivation level was 28.17 with a minimum-maximum value of 20-36.
Specifically, the mean score of indicators of the need for achievement, need
for affiliation, and need for power was 9.66 with a minimum-maximum
value of 7-12, 13.48 with a minimum-maximum value of 7-16, and 5.02
with a minimum-maximum value of 2-8, respectively.
Conclusion: Findings discovered a poor level of self-motivation among
nursing students. This situation could be managed by constructing a
supportive environment to improve their motivation. Their surroundings
such as family, educational institutions, and places of practice would
contribute major parts in supporting them to maintain their commitment
while partaking in the clinical programs.
