Nursing Education &
Research
Background : Development of the health care system evokes
the necessitation of professional health caregiver to always
be updated. The IOM and other nursing institutes performed
a statement, that continuing learning among nurses is an
imperative category. Literature review regarding nurses’ habits
and motivation for self-updating and continuing learning, are
few and sometimes even contradict.
Aim: To determine the importance and responsibility that
nurses relate to self-learning during their daily work.
Tools & Method: Research population was nurses from cancer
center and from the community. The questioner had 2 parts:
demographic (13 items) and learning (10 items). Most items
based on 5 degree Likert scale.
Results: 72 responders answered the questioner (66%). 67.3%
among oncology center and 75% among community nurses
had advance course, 70% and 82.7% (respectively) had an
academic degree. 91% of all responders believe that they have
the responsibility for self-updating and 94% believe that they
have the appropriate skills for that, but only 64.8% said they
read more than 3 articles at the past year and 45% reported
that they turn to electronic library by self-initiative rarely. Only
18% reported about often turning to electronic library and
not even one as routine. At multi variance analyze there was
significant negative correlation between those of 100% hours
vs. partial regard to self-learning habits like reading articles,
and participant at conferences or courses. No correlation was
found between academic degree or advance course and self-
learning among all participants.
Conclusions: Although 79.2% of responders had academic
degree, and most of them believe they are responsible for their
continuing learning, this study didn’t reveal any evidence for
academic studies as contributing factor for continuing learning
among nurses. These study findings are not differing from
some other studies, and it raises a huge question regarding
nurses’ education.
