Area of Science:

Nursing Education
Healthcare Professional Development
Clinical Practice Improvement

Background:

Continuing professional development (CPD) is vital for enhancing nursing care quality, patient safety, and nurse satisfaction.
Gaps exist in nurses' participation in CPD and its alignment with their actual professional needs.
Nurses' experiences with CPD in clinical settings require deeper investigation.

Purpose of the Study:

To systematically review and analyze nurses' experiences with continuing professional development in the clinical context.
To identify key themes related to nurses' engagement with CPD.
To understand the factors influencing nurses' participation in professional development activities.

Main Methods:

A systematic review of the literature was conducted.
Nine studies focusing on nurses' experiences with CPD were selected and analyzed.
Thematic analysis was employed to identify recurring patterns and themes.

Main Results:

Three primary themes emerged: the relevance of CPD to nurses, their motivations (intrinsic and extrinsic) for participation, and their specific needs.
Nurses' experiences with CPD are a critical, understudied area.
Individualized factors such as age and position influence nurses' CPD goals, motivations, and needs.

Conclusions:

Nurses' continuing professional development is a lifelong process essential for maintaining up-to-date knowledge and skills.
Organizational strategies should address nurses' unique professional circumstances and needs to enhance CPD participation.
Tailored approaches to CPD can improve nurse retention within hospitals.
