ABSTRACT
Objective: In the study, it was aimed to examine the work motivation level of nurses and the factors affecting work motivation during the coronavirus disease-2019 (COVID-19) pandemic. Material and Methods: This descriptive study was conducted with 110 nurses providing healthcare services to patients diagnosed with COVID-19 in a university hospital during the pandemic. Research data were collected using an online survey between September 2021 and December 2021. The survey consisted of ''the socio-demographical and working characteristics of nurses'', ''Nurses Job Motivation Scale (NJMS)'', and ''the importance level of factors affecting work motivation''. Results: The mean score of the NJMS of the nurses during the pandemic was 60.17±9.19. The motivation of the nurses who chose the profession because of their ''love of the profession'' was significantly high (p<0.05). The views of nurses on the ''suitability of the profession for them'' changed negatively during the pandemic compared to the before pandemic (p<0.05). The work motivation of the nurses whose opinions were changed negatively was significantly low (p<0.05). There was a significant increase in the NJMS scores in parallel with the increase in the importance score of the factors assuming responsibility, getting authority, opportunity to display creativity, openness to innovations, and participation in decisions (p<0.05). Conclusion: The results of the research showed that the work motivation of the nurses during the pandemic process was high, although not at the maximum level.

ÖZET
Amaç: Araştırmada, koronavirüs hastalığı-2019 [coronavirus disease-2019 (COVID-19)] pandemisinde hemşirelerin iş motivasyon düzeyi ve iş motivasyonunu etkileyen faktörlerin incelenmesi amaçlandı. Gereç ve Yöntemler: Tanımlayıcı tipteki bu araştırma, pandemide bir üniversite hastanesinde COVID-19 tanılı hastalara sağlık hizmeti sunan 110 hemşire ile gerçekleştirildi. Araştırma verileri Eylül 2021-Aralık 2021 tarih aralığında çevrim içi anket kullanılarak toplandı. Anket, ''hemşirelerin sosyodemografik ve çalışma özellikleri'', ''Hemşire İş Motivasyon Ölçeği'' ve ''iş motivasyonunu etkileyen faktörlerin önem düzeyi'' bölümlerinden oluşmakta idi. Bulgular: Hemşirelerin pandemi sürecinde Hemşire İş Motivasyon Ölçeğ puan ortalaması 60,17±9,19 idi. 'Meslek sevgisi'' nedeniyle mesleği seçen hemşirelerin motivasyonu anlamlı düzeyde yüksek idi (p<0,05). Hemşirelerin ''mesleğin kendilerine uygunluğu'' konusundaki görüşleri pandemi döneminde pandemi öncesine göre olumsuz yönde değişim gösterdi (p<0,05). Görüşü olumsuz yönden değişen hemşirelerin iş motivasyonu puanları anlamlı düzeyde düşük idi (p<0,05). Sorumluluk üstlenme, yetki alma, yaratıcılık sergileme fırsatı, yeniliklere açıklık ve kararlara katılım faktörlerinin önem puanındaki artışa paralel olarak iş motivasyonu puanlarında da anlamlı bir artış vardı (p<0,05). Sonuç: Araştırma sonuçları pandemi sürecinde hemşirelerin motivasyonun maksimal seviyede olmasa da yüksek olduğunu gösterdi.
