Continuing Professional Development Among Nurses in Jordan: Perceptions, Importance, Motives, and Barriers.
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.
