Introduction. Pain is a vital sign of patients, and nurses independently perform nonpharmacological pain management; however, there has been little research to measure nurses' work motivation and non-pharmacological pain management. This study aims to determine the description of nurses' work motivation in Maslow's perspective and nonpharmacological pain management in surgical wards. Methods. A quantitative descriptive study with a cross-sectional approach involving 64 nurses in the surgical ward of a regional hospital in East Java, selected using cluster random sampling. Results. The study found that most nurses (71.9%) had low work motivation based on Maslow's needs, but nearly all nurses (98.4%) had good motivation for non-pharmacological pain management. The low work motivation is due to the fact that most aspects of Maslow's needs are only partially fulfilled, particularly the need for safety. Meanwhile, the aspects of control belief and knowledge in non-pharmacological pain management motivation have the lowest average scores. Conclusion. The unmet Maslow's needs impact the low work motivation of nurses. However, nurses' motivation in performing nonpharmacological pain management is good. Recommendations. The research results are expected to serve as a basis for hospitals to evaluate and improve work motivation, address social needs, enhance a sense of security, and increase the dimensions of control belief and knowledge in nurses' non-pharmacological pain management to ensure optimal hospital services.
