PANDEMİ SÜRECİNDE KLİNİK UYGULAMADAKİ EBELİK ÖĞRENCİLERİNİN KAYGI DÜZEYLERİ İLE AKADEMİK MOTİVASYONLARI ARASINDAKİ İLİŞKİNİN İNCELENMESİ

Abstract

The study was planned to examine the relationship between the anxiety levels and academic motivation of midwifery students in clinical practice during the Covid-19 pandemic process. The sample of this descriptive and correlational study consists of 474 midwifery students. The average age of the participants is 20.97±1.28 and 23.4% is 2nd grade, 35.9% is 3rd grade, 40.7% is 4th grade. The students' total point average of the State Anxiety Scale (SAI) was 43.83±10.18 and the total score average of the Academic Motivation Scale (AMS) was 139.41±24.58. There was no statistically significant correlation between STI total score average and AMS total score average (r:-.095 p:.038). It is thought that taking all precautions to eliminate the risk of transmission of Covid-19 infection, including students in theoretical and clinical practice training in the physical environment will be effective in maintaining and increasing academic motivation.
