    Area of Science:

    • Nursing Education
    • Healthcare Professional Development
    • Adult Learning Theory

    Background:

    • Continuing Nursing Education (CNE) is crucial for maintaining nursing competency and adapting to evolving healthcare practices.
    • Understanding the drivers of CNE participation is essential for effective professional development program design.
    • The Urbano and Jahns' model provides a framework for examining factors influencing adult learning and professional engagement.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To synthesize existing research on the factors influencing nurses' participation in Continuing Nursing Education (CNE).
    • To test the applicability of the Urbano and Jahns' model in explaining CNE engagement among nurses.
    • To identify key motivational and contextual factors driving nurses' commitment to lifelong learning.

    Main Methods:

    • A meta-analysis was conducted, synthesizing data from 22 independent studies.
    • Studies were selected based on their examination of variables related to the Urbano and Jahns' model and CNE participation.
    • Statistical methods were employed to aggregate findings and assess the strength of relationships.

    Main Results:

    • Motivational orientation was found to be a significant predictor of nurses' participation in CNE, supporting the Urbano and Jahns' proposition.
    • Demographic variables and educational opportunities were identified as potential mediators influencing the extent of CNE engagement.
    • The meta-analysis confirmed a consistent relationship between motivational factors and the pursuit of professional development in nursing.

    Conclusions:

    • Motivational orientation is a primary driver for nurses engaging in Continuing Nursing Education.
    • While motivation is key, demographic factors and access to educational opportunities can modulate the level of participation.
    • These findings have implications for designing targeted CNE programs that enhance nurse engagement and lifelong learning.
