背景资料：专业人员个人负责规划和开展持续专业发展活动，确保这些活动与当前实践和职业发展相关。鼓励护士从事持续专业发展活动的关键因素尚不清楚。几项研究调查了护士参与持续专业发展计划的动机（“动机”），他们对持续专业发展的重视程度（“重要性”），他们认为参与的必要条件（“条件”），以及他们实际参与持续专业发展活动（“追求”）。然而，这些变量之间的关系，既没有调查，也没有报告的dat.Objectives：本研究的目的是调查的性质，这些因素之间的关系，影响护士参与CPD在荷兰。设计：本研究采用经验证的护士专业发展问卷（Q-PDN）进行了探索性横断面研究设置和参与者：一个方便的样本5500注册护士在一所荷兰大学医院和几家综合性hospitals.Methods工作：一个描述性研究，使用一项调查进行。问卷由1226名护士填写并返回。进行相关分析，以确定哪些因素与护士从事持续专业发展活动。结构方程模型部署，以确定变量之间的关系。结果：“条件”被认为是适度相关的“动机”，这本身是强烈相关的“重要性”，这本身是非常强烈相关的“持续专业发展活动追求”。如果护士认为一个持续专业发展活动的重要性，他们很可能追求它，但是，重视具体的持续专业发展活动的影响存在特定的动机，这部分取决于持续专业发展的条件被perceived.Conclusions的方式：影响持续专业发展的护士参与的关键因素是如何重要，他们认为特定的持续专业发展活动;后者取决于他们的继续专业发展动机以及他们认为参与的适当条件已经到位的看法。的影响进行了讨论。(C)2016爱思唯尔有限公司版权所有
Background: Professionals are individually responsible for planning and carrying out continuing professional development (CPD) activities, ensuring their relevance to current practice and career development. The key factors that encourage nurses to undertake CPD activities are not yet clear. Several studies have investigated motives of nurses to participate in CPD programmes ("Motives"), the importance they attach to CPD ("Importance"), the conditions they consider necessary for participation ("Conditions"), and their actual participation in CPD activities ("Pursued"). The relationships among these variables, however, have neither been investigated nor reported to date.Objectives: The aim of this study is to investigate the nature of the relationships among those factors that influence nurse participation in CPD in the Netherlands.Design: An exploratory cross-sectional study was carried out using quantitative data collected with the previously validated Questionnaire Professional Development of Nurses (Q-PDN).Settings and Participants: A convenience sample of 5500 registered nurses working at one Dutch university hospital and several general hospitals was addressed.Methods: A descriptive study using a survey was undertaken. The questionnaire was completed and returned by 1226 nurses. Correlation analyses were conducted to determine which factors were related to nurses undertaking CPD activities. Structural equation modelling was deployed to determine the relationships among the variables.Results: "Conditions" was found to be moderately related to "Motives", which itself was strongly related to "Importance", which itself was very strongly related to "CPD activities pursued". If nurses considered a CPD activity important they were highly likely to pursue it; however, the importance attached to specific CPD activities was influenced by the presence of particular motives, which depended in part on the way CPD conditions were perceived.Conclusions: The key factor influencing CPD participation of nurses is how important they deem particular CPD activities; the latter is a function of their CPD motives and of their perceptions that the right conditions for participation are in place. Implications are discussed. (C) 2016 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
