چکیده انگلیسی


• Results provide an insight into the relationships between the various factors influencing CPD participation and may be used as a benchmark for subsequent research into other contexts.
• If nurses considered a CPD activity important then they were highly likely to pursue it; however, the importance attached to it was influenced by the way conditions were perceived and the presence of particular motives.
• Participation in research activities as a CPD activity was low and nurses' motives to do so were virtually absent.

SummaryBackgroundProfessionals 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.ObjectivesThe aim of this study is to investigate the nature of the relationships among those factors that influence nurse participation in CPD in the Netherlands.DesignAn exploratory cross-sectional study was carried out using quantitative data collected with the previously validated Questionnaire Professional Development of Nurses (Q-PDN).Settings and ParticipantsA convenience sample of 5500 registered nurses working at one Dutch university hospital and several general hospitals was addressed.MethodsA 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.ConclusionsThe 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.
