Abstract: This study investigates mentorship motivation, attitudes, and practices among nurses in Ormoc City, focusing on the interrelationships among these factors and their implications for nursing development. Grounded in Social Cognitive Theory, the Theory of Planned Behavior, and the Theory of Reasoned Action, the research explores how personal characteristics, such as age, gender, educational attainment, and years of nursing experience, influence mentorship dynamics within clinical settings. Employing a descriptive-correlational design, data were gathered using a adopted questionnaires from 208 registered nurses across four hospitals in Ormoc City, ensuring a representative sample of the local nursing workforce. The findings highlight significant positive correlations between mentorship motivation, attitudes, and practices, emphasizing that personal characteristics and institutional support are pivotal in fostering an effective mentoring culture. This suggests that mentorship programs tailored to the unique needs and attributes of nurses can enhance professional growth, skill development, and overall patient care outcomes. The study further emphasizes the role of structured mentorship programs in addressing specific mentorship dimensions and aligning with the goals of the nursing profession. These initiatives contribute to achieving Sustainable Development Goal No. 3, which focuses on ensuring healthy lives and promoting well-being. By supporting workforce sustainability and advancing the quality of healthcare delivery, this research offers valuable insights for nursing administrators and policymakers.
