Method: The study was conducted at Baskent University School of Medicine, Ankara, Turkey, from December 2013 to February 2014, and comprised Phase 5 Phase 6 medical students. Subjective workload level was determined by using National Aeronautics and Space Administration Task Load Index scale that was adapted to Turkish. Academic motivation values were obtained with the help of Academic Motivation Scale university form. SPSS 17 was used for statistical analysis. Results: Of the total 105 subjects, 65(62%) students were in Phase 5 and 40(38%) were in Phase 6. Of the Phase 5 students, 18(27.7%) were boys and 47(72.3%) were girls, while of the Phase 6 students, 16(40%) were boys and 24(60%) were girls. There were significant differences in Phase 5 and Phase 6 students for mental effort (p= 0.00) and physical effort (p= 0.00). The highest correlation in Phase 5 was between mental effort and intrinsic motivation (r= 0.343). For Phase 6, highest correlation was between effort and amotivation (r= -0.375). Conclusion: Subjective workload affected academic motivation in medical students.enginfo:eu-repo/semantics/closedAccessMental workloadAcademic motivationMedical educationarticle665574578000376686400017
