In this situation,...

Area of Science:

  • Nursing Education
  • Healthcare Professional Development
  • Critical Care Nursing

Background:

  • Healthcare quality necessitates continuous professional development (CPD) for nurses.
  • Despite its importance, critical care nurse practitioners exhibit low attendance rates in CPD programs.
  • Understanding barriers to CPD participation is crucial for improving nursing competency.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate the reasons behind critical care nurses' low attendance at CPD programs.
  • To identify key factors influencing nurses' engagement with professional development opportunities.

Main Methods:

  • A nominal group technique was employed to gather insights from critical care nurses.
  • Fourteen critical care nurses from three units participated in the consensus-building method.
  • The study focused on nurses' reflections on challenges with current CPD programs.

Main Results:

  • Attitude was identified as the central theme impacting unsatisfactory CPD attendance.
  • Key factors influencing attitude included communication, CPD program design, time constraints, and financial implications.
  • These factors, in order of importance, highlight systemic issues affecting nurse engagement.

Conclusions:

  • Modifying nurses' attitudes towards CPD is achievable through increased awareness and involvement.
  • Involving critical care nurses in the planning and implementation of CPD is essential.
  • CPD programs should be tailored to address individual learning needs to improve attendance and effectiveness.
