A Bachelor's degree in nursing is one of the most challenging programs in the field of medical sciences. As a result, maintaining students' academic motivation at the desired level is a constant concern for policymakers and educational administrators. Furthermore, tackling complex ethical dilemmas is inherent in nursing, making the educational period an important moment to instill moral sensitivity and reinforce professional ethics in students. This study aimed to investigate the association between academic motivation and moral sensitivity among undergraduate nursing students.
In this descriptive-correlational study, 265 undergraduate nursing students from the Abhar School of Nursing at Zanjan University of Medical Sciences in Iran were chosen using a census approach in 2024. The data collection tools included demographic surveys, the Academic Motivation Scale (AMS), and the Moral Sensitivity Questionnaire (MSQ), all completed online. The data were analyzed with SPSS version 16 software, which used descriptive statistics (frequency, percentage, mean, and standard deviation) and inferential statistics (independent t-test, ANOVA, Pearson correlation, and multiple regression) with a significance level of 0.05.
Nursing students had average academic motivation and moral sensitivity ratings of 79.24 ± 14.05 and 121.12 ± 16.33, respectively. Furthermore, a significant relationship was found between the overall scores and all dimensions of academic motivation and moral sensitivity (p < 0.001). Additionally, 29.1% of the variance in moral sensitivity was explained by the dimensions of the student's academic motivation.
This study's findings revealed a link between academic motivation and moral sensitivity among nursing students. As a result, it is advised that levels of academic motivation be continually checked during the program. This will assist in identifying students at danger of losing motivation and allow for the development and execution of effective initiatives to improve their academic engagement.
护理学学士学位是医学领域最具挑战性的课程之一。因此,将学生的学习动机维持在理想水平一直是政策制定者和教育管理者关注的问题。此外,应对复杂的伦理困境是护理工作的固有要求,这使得教育阶段成为向学生灌输道德敏感性和强化职业道德的重要时刻。本研究旨在调查本科护理专业学生的学习动机与道德敏感性之间的关联。
在这项描述性相关性研究中,2024年采用普查方法选取了伊朗赞詹医科大学阿哈尔护理学院的265名本科护理专业学生。数据收集工具包括人口统计学调查问卷、学习动机量表(AMS)和道德敏感性问卷(MSQ),均通过在线方式完成。使用SPSS 16版软件对数据进行分析,采用描述性统计(频率、百分比、均值和标准差)和推断性统计(独立t检验、方差分析、皮尔逊相关性和多元回归),显著性水平为0.05。
护理专业学生的学习动机和道德敏感性平均得分分别为79.24±14.05和121.12±16.33。此外,发现学习动机的总分及所有维度与道德敏感性之间存在显著关系(p<0.001)。此外,学生学习动机的维度解释了道德敏感性29.1%的方差。
本研究结果揭示了护理专业学生的学习动机与道德敏感性之间的联系。因此,建议在课程期间持续监测学习动机水平。这将有助于识别有失去学习动机风险的学生,并有助于制定和实施有效的举措来提高他们的学业参与度。
