Examining the Factors Influencing Turkish Nursing Students’ Motivation: An Explorative Qualitative Study

Abstract

Objective: The purpose of this study was to examine the factors that affect the motivation of students in a Bachelor of Science nursing program. Methods: A qualitative study was carried out with 32 Bachelor of Science nursing students with different class studying in a non-profit foundation university. Data was collected through four focus groups using a semi-structured interview form. Content analysis was used to analyze data. Results: The following five themes emerged: Choosing the university, but not the future profession; lack of a feeling of belonging to university; group cohesion; student-faculty relationship; quality of education. Conclusion: In this study showed how important it is for students' motivation to study on a large campus rather than on an isolated campus.
