Area of Science:

  • Nursing Education
  • Professional Development in Healthcare

Background:

  • Continuing education (CE) is crucial for maintaining and enhancing the skills of healthcare professionals.
  • Understanding perioperative nurses' attitudes toward CE is essential for developing effective professional development programs.
  • Demographic variables may influence nurses' engagement with and perception of CE opportunities.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate perioperative nurses' attitudes towards continuing education (CE).
  • To examine the relationship between selected demographic variables and perioperative nurses' attitudes toward CE.
  • Specifically, to compare attitudes between certified and non-certified perioperative nurses.

Main Methods:

  • A Likert-type questionnaire was developed and administered to perioperative nurses.
  • The questionnaire included sections on demographic variables, length of service, and certification status.
  • A 30-item attitude scale specifically assessed perceptions of CE.

Main Results:

  • Analysis revealed no statistically significant differences in attitudes toward CE between certified and non-certified perioperative nurses.
  • The study utilized a t-test for hypothesis analysis at a .05 level of significance.

Conclusions:

  • Certification status does not appear to influence perioperative nurses' attitudes towards continuing education.
  • Further research may explore other demographic or professional factors impacting CE attitudes.
  • Findings suggest that CE initiatives may be equally well-received by both certified and non-certified perioperative nursing staff.
