Scenario A nursing student, Sarah, is finding it hard to stay motivated while preparing for her final exams. She feels overwhelmed by the volume of material she needs to study and often procrastinates. Sarah also doubts her ability to perform well, which further reduces her drive to study. Despite her love for the nursing profession, she struggles to maintain focus and prioritize her tasks. • Applying Maslow’s Hierarchy of Needs: Physiological Needs: Sarah should ensure she gets adequate sleep, eats nutritious meals, and stays hydrated to maintain physical energy. •Safety and Security: Create a dedicated and organized study space free from distractions. A structured schedule can help reduce anxiety and provide a sense of control. •Affiliation Needs: Seek support from classmates or form a study group to feel connected and motivated. •Esteem Needs: Break down study goals into smaller tasks and celebrate each accomplishment to build confidence and a sense of achievement. •Self-Actualization: Remind Sarah of her long-term goal of becoming a skilled nurse and how her studies contribute to this aspiration. Intrinsic and Extrinsic Motivation: •Intrinsic: Encourage Sarah to focus on her passion for nursing and how mastering the material will help her care for patients effectively. •Extrinsic: Set small rewards for meeting daily or weekly study goals, such as treating herself to a favorite snack or activity. Action Plan: •Develop a daily study schedule with clear, manageable objectives. •Include short breaks to prevent burnout. •Use visual aids like flashcards and summaries to simplify complex material. •Practice past exam questions to build familiarity and reduce fear. Support System: •Schedule check-ins with a mentor or peer to stay accountable. •Share her struggles with a trusted friend or family member for emotional support.
