Post-registration community nurses found work-based learning improved patient care quality through enhanced health promotion, service access, patient choice, and infection control. Dedicated learning time and mentorship are crucial for practice changes.

Area of Science:

  • Nursing Education
  • Healthcare Quality Improvement
  • Work-Based Learning

Background:

  • Work-based learning (WBL) is increasingly recognized as a vital component of professional development in healthcare.
  • Understanding the impact of WBL on the quality of patient care from the perspective of practicing nurses is essential for optimizing educational strategies.
  • Community nursing roles present unique challenges and opportunities for applying WBL principles.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To explore post-registration community nurses' perceptions of how work-based learning influences the quality of patient care.
  • To identify specific areas where WBL contributes to improvements in patient care delivery.
  • To understand the key elements within WBL programs that facilitate changes in nursing practice.

Main Methods:

  • Qualitative study involving semi-structured interviews with ten post-registration community nurses.
  • Participants had successfully completed work-based learning programs.
  • Interviews focused on nurses' experiences and perceptions of WBL's impact on patient care quality.

Main Results:

  • Nurses reported positive perceptions of work-based learning, valuing its contribution to professional development.
  • Four key themes emerged demonstrating WBL's positive impact: increased health promotion, improved access to services, enhanced patient choice, and reduced infection risk.
  • The relevance of learning materials and the availability of distance learning options were identified as significant factors influencing practice changes.

Conclusions:

  • Work-based learning is a valuable strategy for enhancing the practice of post-registration community nurses.
  • Adequate time allocated for learning and effective mentorship are critical for successful implementation of WBL and subsequent practice changes.
  • Further research is needed to determine optimal structures and styles for distance learning materials tailored to the needs of community nurses.
