Motivation of nursing students

The study contributed to clarifying the concept of academic motivation in nursing students. As the findings showed, the concept as realized by the nursing student was consistent with the definition of the concept by research works. In addition, academic motivation in nursing students was characterized with specifications like “an inner process, purposeful, unique, variable, and affected by internal/external personal factors.” It acts as a driving force for realization of objectives and a facilitator of learning and educational achievement.” Articles review revealed that the concept of motivation was described as a process. Linnebrink and Pintrch (2002) believed that, given the social-cognitive model, rather than being an intrinsic characteristic of students, motivation was a complicated and variable process. Schunk et al. (2008) believed that instead of a product, motivation was a process that is demonstrated in one’s behavior. Taking into account the definition of process as a set of sequential activities and inputs in a proper ground that lead to a specific outcome (IT and Statistics Center, Ministry of Health – Iran, 2008), assuming motivation as a process is supportable. As the results recommended, there are antecedents for motivation like personal, social, academic, family, and professional factors that trigger activities based on a purpose and lead to emergence of the outcome –i.e. educational achievement. Purposefulness is one of the main specifications of academic motivation, which was found both in articles review and field study stages. In fact, purposefulness of motivation concentrates all activities and works of an individual in a specific direction. Uniqueness and variable nature of motivation were found based on interviews with the students. Individuals with different personalities have different motivations and priorities. In addition, one’s motivation varies depending on the situation. Students might demonstrate a high level of motivation in one situation and no motivation at all in another.
