Area of Science:

  • Nursing Education
  • Healthcare Outcomes Research
  • Professional Development

Background:

  • Outcomes evaluation research in continuing education (CE) is underrepresented in perioperative and general nursing literature.
  • Assessing the impact of CE on nursing practice behaviors is crucial for professional development and patient care.
  • Understanding barriers to CE integration is essential for improving educational effectiveness.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate practice behavior changes in nurses following a one-day continuing education (CE) activity.
  • To identify whether nurses applied newly acquired knowledge, skills, and values into their clinical practice.
  • To explore challenges encountered by nurses in integrating CE into their work environment.

Main Methods:

  • A quantitative study involving 171 attendees of a one-day CE activity.
  • Data collection focused on self-reported changes in practice behaviors post-CE.
  • Analysis examined the utilization of knowledge, performance of skills, and integration of values.

Main Results:

  • Significant changes in practice behaviors were observed among participants after attending the CE activity.
  • Nurses reported applying knowledge and skills gained from the CE program.
  • Key challenges to implementing CE in practice included organizational policies, work settings, and peer influence.

Conclusions:

  • Continuing education activities can lead to measurable changes in nursing practice behaviors.
  • Organizational and peer-related factors represent significant barriers to the effective translation of CE into practice.
  • Further research is needed to address these barriers and optimize the impact of nursing CE.
