Anotace: Aim: The aim of this study was to determine the level of work motivation, job satisfaction, and nursing record-keeping, and to analyse differences in job satisfaction, work motivation, and level of nursing record-keeping in two wards.

Design: A cross-sectional study was conducted.

Methods: The study involved nurses employed in the Department of Surgery and the Department of Internal Medicine. The nurses voluntarily and anonymously completed the Multidimensional Work Motivation Scale and a questionnaire that included job satisfaction and demographic information. Nursing records were taken from the health institution computer database.

Results: A significant difference in motivation was observed in favor of Surgery nurses (p = 0.005), and a significant difference in job satisfaction was observed in favor of Internal Diseases Department nurses (p = 0.039). Surgery employees were significantly better at keeping nursing records (p < 0.00001).

Conclusion: The level of job satisfaction and work motivation are not proportional to the level of nursing record-keeping.
