Area of Science:

Nursing Education
Professional Development
Healthcare Workforce Studies

Background:

Continuing professional education (CPE) is crucial for nurses to maintain and enhance knowledge and competencies.
Exploring current CPE practices and future needs is essential for effective professional development in nursing.

Purpose of the Study:

To investigate the current continuing professional education (CPE) practices among registered nurses in Malaysia.
To identify the future general needs and preferences for CPE among registered nurses.

Main Methods:

A cross-sectional descriptive study was conducted involving 792 registered nurses from government hospitals and health clinics in Peninsular Malaysia.
Multistage cluster sampling was employed, and data were collected using self-explanatory questionnaires analyzed with SPSS version 16.

Main Results:

Only 80% of nurses participated in CPE activities in the past year, with attendance below 50% for most activities.
Workshops were the most popular CPE format (43.6%), while tertiary education was the least popular (1.3%).
Nurses recognized the importance of CPE for career advancement.

Conclusions:

Mandatory continuing professional education (MCPE) is vital for skill enhancement, but CPE activities must be planned to meet registered nurses' (RNs) needs.
Policy makers and nurse leaders should prioritize nurse-centric planning for CPE to ensure relevance and effectiveness.
