Sažetak
Introduction: Although research corpus about medical students' attitudes towards scientific research is considerable, there are only few studies during past 40 years investigating nursing students' attitudes towards science and no study investigating their work motivation. Materials and Methods: This research was conducted at the Nursing studies, Bjelovar University of Applied Sciences, Croatia, and the Nursing studies, University North Varazdin, Croatia. We surveyed first year nursing students enrolled in 2009 and 2014 using multiple-question Likert scale questionnaire investigating students' attitudes towards scientific research, and their work motivation. Students' attitudes towards science were presented as total score, maximum being 225 in scientific research attitudes questionnaire, and 120 in work motivation questionnaire. Results: Response rate in both questionnaires was >72%. Proportion of unanswered questions was 0.7%. There was no difference in male/female ration between investigated population and whole student population enrolled into first year. There was no difference in gender distribution among four subgroups of students, p = 0.447. We found age difference between students: students in 2009 were older than he students in 2014 (2009 vs. 2014, means): Bjelovar 30±8 versus 24±7 years (p < 0.001) ; Varazdin 28±8 versus 22±5 years (p < 0.001). Median total scores were higher in year 2009 than in 2014 median in both research sites and for both questionnaires (interquartile range, IQR): Scientific research attitudes questionnaire: Bjelovar 162 (19) versus 155 (24), p = 0.017 ; Varazdin 155 (24) versus 149 (23), p < 0.001 ; Work motivation questionnaire: Bjelovar 90 (12) versus 82 (11), p = 0.017 ; Varazdin 88 (13) versus 85 (10), p < 0.001. Rank sum test revealed that older students had better attitudes towards scientific research and motivation. Conclusion: Future research should investigate reasons why older nursing students have better attitudes toward scientific research and better work motivation then their younger colleges. Strategies should be developed to improve attitudes towards scientific research among younger students and enhance their work motivation.
