Abstract

In order to stay up-to-date in the nursing field, nurses must pursue continuous education. This study examined nurses’ motivations to take part in continuing education activities by conducting a survey amongst a sample of nurses employed in two hospitals in south-east Morocco. The survey was carried out using a two-part self-administered questionnaire. Out of 144 nurses who received the questionnaire, 118 (84%) replied. The results showed that the majority of nurses have never participated in a continuing education session in the last 3 years. Respondents’ motivation for continuing education was mainly intrinsic, with the emphasis on factors related to professional competence and knowledge seeking. The use of such results can therefore be of great use to both managers and practitioners in planning continuing education programmes. However, it is desirable that more studies take place to investigate further the issue of continuing education with the aim of promoting and developing professional nursing skills.

影响护士参加继续教育课程的动机因素：一项基于医院的研究

为了在护理领域保持与时俱进，护士必须继续接受教育。这项研究通过对摩洛哥东南部两家医院的护士样本进行调查，考察了护士参加继续教育活动的动机。这项调查采用了一份由两部分组成的自填问卷。在接受问卷调查的144名护士中，有118名（84%）作出了答复。结果显示，大多数护士在过去3年中从未参加过继续教育课程。受访者继续教育的动机主要是内在的，重点是与专业能力和知识寻求相关的因素。因此，在规划继续教育方案时，利用这些结果对管理人员和从业人员都非常有用。然而，希望进行更多的研究，进一步调查继续教育的问题，以促进和发展专业护理技能。
