Nursing professional development specialists are not fully utilizing educational technology. Organizations face challenges in demonstrating cost-effective, results-oriented education, highlighting a need for improved technology integration and training.
Area of Science:
- Nursing Professional Development
- Educational Technology
- Healthcare Education
Background:
- The Association for Nursing Professional Development (ANPD) identified a need to assess technology integration in nursing education.
- Nursing professional development specialists require updated skills to effectively use educational technologies.
Purpose of the Study:
- To survey ANPD members regarding their current educational technology usage.
- To identify technology-related needs within nursing professional development.
Main Methods:
- A survey was distributed to the ANPD membership in 2012.
- Over 1,300 members responded to the survey.
Main Results:
- Survey results indicated that educational technology is underutilized among nursing professional development specialists.
- A significant gap exists between the potential of technology and its current application in nursing education.
Conclusions:
- Nursing professional development requires enhanced strategies for technology integration.
- There is a need for organizations to focus on cost-effective, results-oriented educational technology implementation.
