Neophyte baccalaureate nursing student’s perceptions of motivation towards clinical practice.
Abstract
Background: Clinical learning is challenging for the initial years of nursing students. They need the motivation to achieve the desired academic outcomes. However, they are likelier to leave the profession due to non-conducive learning experiences during clinical practice.
Methodology: A qualitative descriptive study design was used to explore the neophyte nursing students' perceptions of motivation regarding clinical practice. A total of nine second-year nursing students were recruited through purposive sampling. Individual in-depth interviews were conducted. Data were analyzed through an inductive approach.
Results: The theme that emerged from the study was factors in influencing neophyte's clinical motivation, and the five categories were: the worthiness of clinical practice, range of emotions, clinical environment, clinical educators' roles and characteristics, and personal drive for clinical practice.
Conclusion: The neophyte nursing students' demotivation affects clinical learning. Therefore, providing them with opportunities to practice skills under supervision, giving constructive feedback, and respecting them will enhance their motivation.
