Abstract

Background: Continuing professional development (CPD) is a type of lifelong learning and a means of gaining career security and personal development and assuring the public that professional knowledge is up-to-date. This study assessed Jordanian nurses' perceptions of the importance of CPD, their motives for obtaining CPD, and barriers to receiving CPD.

Method: A descriptive cross-sectional design was used. Data collected included demographic information and responses to a questionnaire about CPD for nurses.

Results: The findings showed that the motives subscale had the highest mean score (M = 4.09, SD = 0.58), and the CPD activities subscale had the lowest mean score (M = 2.96, SD = 0.75).

Conclusion: Nurses understand the importance of CPD to improve nursing qualifications, enhance nursing practice, and promote health care quality. However, there are differences in how nurses perceive and engage in CPD. Addressing barriers and aligning intentions with actions could improve CPD participation.

约旦护士的持续专业发展：观念、重要性、动机和障碍。

背景：持续专业发展（CPD）是一种终身学习，是获得职业保障和个人发展的一种手段，并向公众保证专业知识是最新的。本研究评估了约旦护士对持续专业进修重要性的认知，他们获得持续专业进修的动机，以及接受持续专业进修的障碍。方法：采用描述性横断面设计。收集的数据包括人口统计信息和对护士持续专业发展问卷的回答。结果：动机分量表得分最高（M = 4.09, SD = 0.58）， CPD活动分量表得分最低（M = 2.96, SD = 0.75）。结论：护士认识到持续专业进修对提高护理资格、加强护理实践、提高医疗质量的重要性。然而，在护士如何看待和参与CPD方面存在差异。解决障碍并将意图与行动结合起来可以提高CPD的参与度。[J].中华实用医学杂志，2015;36(3):111-117。
