    Registered nurses found that daily nursing tasks and patient handovers prevented participation in continuing education during double staff time. Addressing these barriers is key for professional development in neonatal units.

    Area of Science:

    • Nursing
    • Healthcare Management
    • Neonatal Care

    Background:

    • Continuing education is vital for registered nurses (RNs) to maintain and enhance clinical skills.
    • Neonatal units face challenges in facilitating RN professional development due to demanding clinical environments.
    • Double staff time is a period allocated for non-clinical activities, including education.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To investigate the barriers preventing RNs in a neonatal unit from participating in continuing education during double staff time.
    • To explore RNs' perceptions and experiences regarding professional development opportunities.
    • To identify specific factors that impede engagement with educational programs.

    Main Methods:

    • Participatory action research (PAR) was employed, involving RNs as active researchers.

  • Qualitative data were collected through personal experiences and peer feedback within the neonatal unit.
  • Analysis focused on identifying recurring themes and obstacles to education access.

    • Main Results:

    • RNs reported that direct nursing activities significantly consumed their available time.
    • Inefficient or lengthy nursing handovers were identified as a major impediment to attending educational sessions.
    • The study highlighted a conflict between clinical demands and dedicated professional development time.

    Conclusions:

    • Nursing activities and handovers are critical barriers to RNs' professional development in neonatal settings.
    • Strategies to optimize nursing workflows and handover processes are needed to support continuing education.
    • Facilitating protected time for education is essential for the growth of neonatal nursing staff.
