What is Motivation?
- Motivation encompasses internal and external factors that stimulate desire, energy, and commitment in individuals to engage in a task or role.
- Intrinsic motivation comes from within (personal satisfaction or enjoyment).
- Extrinsic motivation is driven by external rewards (recognition, salary, or avoiding penalties).
Why Study Motivation?
- Understanding what drives behavior, commitment, and performance in healthcare settings.
- Effective motivation enhances patient care, job satisfaction, and reduces burnout among healthcare providers.
Introduction to Motivation Theories
- Motivation is the drive influencing individuals to initiate and persist in specific behaviors.
- Understanding motivation helps healthcare providers foster better patient relationships, improve patient adherence, and enhance staff satisfaction.
Maslow's Hierarchy of Needs - Overview
- This theory suggests motivation is driven by a hierarchy of needs, from basic to complex.
- Physiological needs (food, water)
- Safety needs (security, stability, health)
- Love and belonging (social relationships, connection)
- Esteem (respect, self-confidence, recognition)
- Self-actualization (achieving potential, creativity, fulfillment)
- Healthcare applications include patient care and addressing needs via staff recognition, safety, and workplace support.
Herzberg's Two-Factor Theory - Overview
- Herzberg identified two sets of factors affecting job satisfaction/dissatisfaction.
- Hygiene factors (salary, work conditions): prevent dissatisfaction but don't increase satisfaction.
- Motivators (achievement, recognition): increase satisfaction.
- Improving motivators leads to higher satisfaction, maintaining hygiene factors prevents dissatisfaction.
- Healthcare applications include patient care via improvements in environment, and staff via promotions and recognition.
Self-Determination Theory (SDT) - Overview
- SDT proposes that people are motivated by three core needs:
- Autonomy (feeling in control of actions)
- Competence (feeling capable and effective)
- Relatedness (feeling connected to others)
- Fulfillment of needs enhances intrinsic motivation and long-term engagement.
- Practical applications in healthcare involve enabling patient autonomy, fostering feelings of competency, and supporting interpersonal relationships amongst staff.
Intrinsic vs. Extrinsic Motivation
- Intrinsic motivation is driven by internal rewards (personal satisfaction, enjoyment).
- Extrinsic motivation is driven by external factors (rewards, penalties).
- Examples of each in healthcare contexts are included.
Group Activity - Scenario Analysis
- Organize students into groups and assign scenarios to analyze.
- Identify intrinsic/extrinsic motivation in each scenario and their impact.
- Evaluate the different strategies and complexities in outcomes when considering motivation.
Summary of Motivation Theories
- Motivation is complex, influenced by multiple factors.
- Various theories (Maslow, Herzberg, SDT) offer insights into human behavior.
- Effective applications of these theories benefit both patients and healthcare providers.
The Importance of Motivation in Healthcare
- Motivated healthcare providers provide better patient-centered care, greater empathy.
- Higher job satisfaction and retention rates are seen in more motivated healthcare staff.
- Patient compliance (adherence) to treatment is improved when patients are motivated
Applying Motivation Theory in Healthcare Settings
- Strategies for improving both patient and provider motivation are presented.
Motivation and Patient Adherence
- Adherence refers to the degree to which patients follow treatment plans and lifestyle changes.

Factors Affecting Patient Motivation

Enhancing Patient Motivation

Motivation in Healthcare Professionals
