A Study for Support System for the Continuing Professional Development of Nurses

本研究的目的是收集基本数据的需求，当地的支持系统的持续专业发展（CPD）的医疗护士，将组织在他们工作和生活的地区。为了详细了解护理人员的现状，我们对过去5年在2个都道府县举办的护理协会主办的一级护理管理人员培训项目的所有参与者（T县265人，K县277人）进行了问卷调查，并辅以个人访谈。T县和K县分别收到了65.3%和72.9%的参与者的答复。我们对这次调查的答复与我们在以前的研究中获得的数据进行了分析。通过对我国持续专业发展的现状、影响持续专业发展成功的因素以及持续专业发展支持体系尚待解决的问题的分析，提出了我国持续专业发展支持体系建设的若干建议。 ...更多信息 韦伊透露，护士对有机会透过多元化的学习机会，提升专业知识和技能，然而，事实上，他们的专业工作和家务使他们几乎没有时间进行学习活动。缺乏提供课程的当地设施以及缺乏家庭和工作场所的理解和支持是进一步的障碍。还有人指出，国家方案文件没有适当的支助系统（例如，信息服务和咨询）。虽然受访者清楚知道持续进修的成效，但他们往往表示，他们透过进修所取得的成就，并没有在加薪或晋升方面反映出来。因此，调查显示了以下问题有关的支持系统的护士继续专业发展：（1）现有的组织有关提供的培训机会和利用的结果，（2）缺乏足够的地方支持系统的继续专业发展，（3）缺乏足够的公关为那些继续专业发展的咨询服务存在。这些调查结果表明，有必要引入一个地方组织，以促进在工作场所继续学习，并审查目前的教育成果评价制度。考虑到这项调查提出的开放性问题，建议为护士在其家附近或工作场所的持续专业发展建立一个组织良好的支持系统。少

The present study was undertaken to collect basic data on the demand for a local support system for the continuing professional development (CPD) of medical nurses, to be organized in the districts where they work and live. To gain a detailed picture of the current situation of the nurses, we conducted a questionnaire survey, supplemented by personal interviews, among all the participants of a first-level nursing administrator training program that had been held in 2 prefectures during the past 5 years, under the sponsorship of the nursing association (265 participants in T Prefecture and 277 in K Prefecture). Responses were received from 65.3% of the participants in T Prefecture and 72.9% in K Prefecture. The responses from this survey were analyzed together with data we had obtained in a previous study. We thus gained insight into the current status of CPD, the factors that impede successful CPD, and the problems which remain to be resolved concerning a support system for CPD.The sur … More vey revealed that the nurses were highly interested in gaining access to diverse opportunities of learning to update their professional knowledge and skills. In fact, however, their professional work and housework allowed them little time for study activities. The lack of local facilities offering courses as well as the lack of understanding and support from their families and workplaces were further impediments. It was also pointed out that there was no adequate support system for CPD (e.g., information services and consultation). Although the respondents were well aware of the efficacy of continuing education, they often stated that what they had achieved through learning had not been reflected in any pay increase or career promotion. The survey thus revealed the following problems concerning a support system for the CPD of nurses : (1) the inadequacy of the present organization concerning both the training opportunities provided and the utilization of the results, (2) the lack of adequate local support systems for CPD, and (3) the lack of adequate PR for those CPD counseling services that exist. These findings indicate the necessity of introducing a local organization to facilitate continued learning at the workplace, and of reviewing the current system for evaluating the outcome of education. It is advisable to create a well-organized support system for the CPD of nurses near their homes or at the workplace, taking into account the open questions raised by this survey. Less
