Trial Outcomes & Findings for The Effect of Motivational Messages on Emergency Nurses (NCT NCT05158504)
NCT ID: NCT05158504
Last Updated: 2025-02-04
Results Overview
Job satisfaction scale is in a 5-point Likert type and is graded as (1- Absolutely disagree and 5-Absolutely agree). Scoring of the scale is calculated as a minimum of 1 and a maximum of 5 points, and the average of 5 related items is taken. The lowest score that can be obtained from the scale is 5 and the highest score is 25. Accordingly, the decrease in the average score of the participants indicates that job satisfaction decreases; an increase in the average score indicates an increase in job satisfaction.

Motivation
Motivational notifications were sent to the nurses in the motivational group (n=30) via SMS messages to their mobile phones at 07.00, 12.00 and 16.00 for 21 days. Like a good morning message that allows you to start the day with a beautiful energy (Example: Thank you for the hard and selfless work you do every day.
