Abstract

One memory type which is particularly important in the correct performance of a nurse is prospective memory. Most of the times, the correct performance of a nurse and as a result their patients’ health and life depends on the health and accuracy of their memory. The objective of this study was to investigate the relationship between work motivation and gender with prospective memory performance in nurses. The present research was a causal-comparative study. The statistical sample of the research consisted of 110 nursing students working in Zanjan hospitals. A simple random sampling method was used to select the subjects. The research tools were Hockman and Oldham's job satisfaction questionnaire and the researcher-made task. In order to create forgetfulness in people in the studied groups, a researcher-made task was used, which included 12 nursing activities, 6 time-based activities, and 6 event-based activities. The outline of this test was taken from DMDX software which McFarland and Glisky (2009) had used to evaluate time-based prospective memory. Independent t-tests and MANOVA tests were used to analyze the data. The findings indicated that there is a significant relationship between work motivation and prospective memory; in such a way, nurses who had a higher work motivation showed better performance in prospective memory tasks, both time- based and event- based.
