| Summary: | Background: The use of innovative technologies in continuing education activities in nursing is important in terms of increasing the quality of care.
Aim: This study aimed to determine the relationship between nurses’ perceptions of distance in-service training and job motivations.
Study Design: This study was designed as descriptive and correlational.
Methods:. This study population consisted of nurses working in rooted education-research and state hospitals that continue distance in-service training activities. The study were conducted an 703 nurses between October 2020 and January 2021. Data were collected with the “Information Form”, the “Distance In-Service Training Perception Scale” and the “Nurse Job Motivation Scale”.
Findings: The nurses’ total mean scale scores were 3.21±.97 for the “Distance In-Service Training Perception Scale” and 59.98±10.01 for the “Nurse Job Motivation Scale”. This showed that the nurses’ perception towards distance in-service training and job motivations were positively above the average. Nurses’ perception towards distance in-service training and job motivations were affected by gender, marital status, education level, type of institution, work years, type of employment, way of working, unit and choosing the profession and unit willingly. The nurses’ perception towards distance in-service training weren’t affected by distance or face-to-face education methods. It was determined that there was a weak positive relationship and a statistically highly significant relationship between the nurses’ perception towards distance in-service training activities and job motivations.
Conclusion: It is thought that the use of innovative teaching methods and materials in continuing training activities will contribute to the continuity of professional development and to increase job motivations. |
