Nurses generally value continuing professional development (CPD), but leadership styles and a disconnect with post-registration education and practice (PREP) create barriers. Addressing these factors can improve CPD effectiveness.

Area of Science:

  • Nursing Education
  • Healthcare Management
  • Professional Development

Background:

  • Continuing Professional Development (CPD) is crucial for nurses.
  • Understanding nurse perceptions of CPD value and barriers is essential for effective professional growth.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate NHS and private sector nurses' perceptions of CPD value.
  • To analyze factors influencing these perceptions and identify barriers to successful CPD.

Main Methods:

  • Quantitative questionnaires distributed to 200 nursing staff across NHS trusts and nursing homes.
  • Qualitative interviews with eight self-selecting respondents to explore findings further.

Main Results:

  • A largely positive perception of CPD was identified among nurses.

  • Managerial leadership styles significantly influenced nurses' views on CPD value and reflection.
  • Previously unreported barriers to professional development were identified.

    • Conclusions:

    • Manager leadership styles and responsiveness to change impact nurses' engagement with CPD.
    • A disconnect exists between nurses' understanding of Post-Registration Education and Practice (PREP) and CPD.
    • Enhancing nurses' ability to reflect and improving leadership support are key to overcoming CPD barriers.
