Abstract
BACKGROUND
People's high requirements for medical care and the difficult academic tasks associated with the nursing profession require nursing students to have stronger learning motivation.
PURPOSE
This study aimed to investigate the effect of perfectionism on the learning motivation of undergraduate nursing students and to explore the mediating factors influencing these two variables.
METHOD
A total of 1366 nursing students from four undergraduate universities in Henan Province, China, were surveyed from May to July 2022. We conducted Pearson's correlation analysis and a regression analysis using PROCESS Macro Model 6 to explore the relationships among perfectionism, efficacy, psychological resilience, and learning motivation.
RESULTS
The results indicated that perfectionism affected undergraduate nursing students' learning motivation not only directly but also indirectly through self-efficacy and psychological resilience.
CONCLUSION
The results of this study offer certain theoretical support and guidance for research and interventions pertaining to undergraduate nursing students' learning motivation.
