One organization used a 6-month virtual mentored registered nurse research fellowship to overcome participation barriers.Method: Nurses across 24 hospitals in five U.S. states were nominated. Fellows were assigned to a team led by one of five doctorally prepared nurses. The fellowship consisted of monthly, 4-hour workshops and included time to complete institutional review board documents, analyze and interpret data, and disseminate results. Outcomes included fellowship completion rates, participant feedback on the program, and research dissemination activities.Results: A total of 12 nurses from four states and eight hospitals enrolled, and 10 (83%) completed the fellowship. Overall, self-reported research competency of the fellows increased. In addition, the fellows each disseminated their unique research after the conclusion of the program. Participants reported positive takeaways and challenges.Conclusion: Hospital-based nurses can successfully complete and disseminate research aligning with Magnet® requirements when provided with protected time and a nurse research mentor who has experience with the Meleis Transitions Framework.","PeriodicalId":49295,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Continuing Education in Nursing","volume":" ","pages":"1-8"},"PeriodicalIF":1.2,"publicationDate":"2026-10-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"149197502","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Transition shock challenges novice nurses, affecting their confidence and practice readiness. Research has explored structural and organizational factors contributing to this phenomenon, including workload, time pressure, staffing constraints, role ambiguity, and limited transition support through orientation/preceptorship and supervision. However, understanding of psychological resources that can mitigate these demands is limited. This study, guided by the Job Demands-Resources model, views transition shock as a job demand and professional self-efficacy as a personal resource aiding workplace adaptation.Method: A descriptive cross-sectional study was conducted with 215 newly employed nurses at a large public hospital in Turkey. Data were collected with validated scales and analyzed with descriptive statistics, correlations, and structural equation modeling.Results: Higher professional self-efficacy was associated with lower transition shock and greater work readiness. Mediation analysis showed that self-efficacy partially mediated this relationship.Conclusion: Professional self-efficacy is a key psychological resource that mitigates transition shock and enhances work readiness among novice nurses.","PeriodicalId":49295,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Continuing Education in Nursing","volume":" ","pages":"477-484"},"PeriodicalIF":1.2,"publicationDate":"2026-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"148450221","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In Japan, where continuing education is inconsistently implemented, little is known about what motivates nurses to independently pursue and repeat BLS training. This study explored the motivational and contextual factors influencing Japanese nurses' participation in external BLS training.Method: A qualitative study was conducted that used semi-structured interviews with eight registered nurses. Data underwent thematic analysis.Results: Eight themes emerged: desire for growth and competence, career advancement and professional recognition, role of peers and colleagues, motivation rooted in past experiences, balancing financial investment with perceived value, navigating competing demands, impact of organizational policies, and sustaining competence through repetition.Conclusion: Japanese nurses' motivation for participating in external BLS training reflects professional values, social influences, and organizational conditions. Health care organizations can sustain participation and promote continuous professional development by providing structured support, fostering reflective learning opportunities, and addressing emotional and social factors.","PeriodicalId":49295,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Continuing Education in Nursing","volume":" ","pages":"457-464"},"PeriodicalIF":1.2,"publicationDate":"2026-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"148266652","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The intervention comprised e-book self-learning followed by a simulated post-mortem care experiential activity. Quantitative outcomes were measured with structured questionnaires at five assessment points across two instructional phases. Qualitative data were obtained from reflective worksheets completed after experiential sessions (n = 45) to explore learners' experiences and reflection.Results: Knowledge improved significantly, with greater gains after experiential learning. Attitude changes were modest, although experiential learning produced larger improvements than e-book self-learning and showed short-term effects. Satisfaction was high for both components. Qualitative reflections highlighted perspective-taking, respectful body care, family guidance, and enhanced competence with reduced fear.Conclusion: The digital-experiential model strengthened the competencies of new graduate nurses in EOLC.
