Abstract

Continuing Education (CE) programme exposes health professionals to current trends in professional practice and improved patient care. This study was conducted to assess continuing education programmes among practicing nurses in Bauchi State. A cross sectional descriptive survey research design was used; multi-stage sampling technique was used to recruit 345 participants; questionnaires were used for data collection; 326 of the administered questionnaires were retrieved. Data were analysed using descriptive statistic of percentage; hypotheses were tested at 0.05 level of significance. The result shows that majority (85.9%) of the respondents attended workshop and 52.8% attended conferences. Inappropriate date and time for programme, and irrelevant programmes to nursing practice were among the factors militating against nurses’ participation in CE programmes. Hypothesis tested revealed that rank of practicing nurses significantly influenced the type of continuing education programme they attended (χ^2=35.035, p=0.005). Nurses should engage in undergraduate and postgraduate continuing education programmes for professional development.
包奇州执业护士继续教育计划评估
继续教育(CE)方案使保健专业人员了解专业实践和改进病人护理的当前趋势。本研究旨在评估包奇州执业护士的继续教育计划。采用横断面描述性调查研究设计;采用多阶段抽样方法,共招募受试者345人;数据收集采用问卷调查;回收了326份问卷。资料采用百分率描述性统计进行分析;假设在0.05水平上进行显著性检验。结果显示,大多数(85.9%)的受访者参加了工作坊,52.8%的受访者参加了会议。计划的日期和时间不合适,以及与护理实践无关的计划是阻碍护士参加CE计划的因素之一。假设检验显示,执业护士的职级对其参加的继续教育课程类型有显著影响(χ 2=35.035, p=0.005)。护士应参加本科和研究生继续教育课程,以促进专业发展。
