Delaware RNs' reasons for nonparticipation in continuing education
1Delaware State University, Dover, USA.
Abstract:
A descriptive study determined the reasons for nonparticipation in continuing education (CE) for RNs living in Delaware, where lack of CE results in loss of licensure. Subjects were asked to complete a 40-item Deterrents to Participation Scale with a 13-item demographic questionnaire. The sample (N = 94) identified disengagement as the primary factor for predicting nonparticipation in CE, with the primary reason being they had higher priorities than CE in their lives. Implications for nursing administrators and educators are discussed.
