BACKGROUND: This specific study analyzed the particular needs of critical attention nurses around remote areas of Québec regarding continuing education (CE).
PROCEDURE: Some sort of web-based cross-sectional questionnaire seemed to be conducted between May and June 2018.
RESULTS: The total of seventy eight healthcare professionals completed the survey in addition to reported their CE needs were not being achieved. Only 21. 9% of participants reported a fulfillment level ≥ 6 with a scale of 1 to be able to twelve regarding the offering of VOTRE pursuits inside their region. The most prevalent factors identified as barriers in order to participation in CE routines ended up working hours (68. 2%), distance and journey time (68. 2%), launched time to attend CE routines (65. 2%), charges involving CE activities (57. 6%), and financial assist (51. 5%).
CONCLUSION: This kind of investigation provides insights directly into CE needs among crucial care and attention nurses. Shortcomings could very well be resolved by boosting CE exercises in distant areas as well as the proportion associated with critical care-specific CE exercises. Moreover, some expense insurance should be which is available from employers. [J Contin Educ Nurs. 2020; 51(7): 322–330. ]
The main intent behind Québec's order of nurses (Ordre des Infirmières ou Infirmiers du Québec [OIIQ]) is to help assure the safety associated with the people by way of controlling the nursing practice regarding its members (Gouvernement ihr Québec, 2018). In year 2011, this OIIQ established some sort of professional requirement for continuing knowledge (CE), making it an essential professional responsibility as well as an ethical obligation (OIIQ, 2011a). However, VOTRE must be obtainable together with pertinent to nurses all over their career to help play a role to the updating and even growth of all the particular specific knowledge in addition to capabilities required for their own professional practice (OIIQ, 2011b).
According to the OIIQ, crucial care and attention nurses function in emergency together with intensive care units (OIIQ, 2016). Although CE is important to be able to all nurses, critical care practice-specific CE is a key element in private hospitals because critical care nurses operate units showcasing quick, many, and diversified professional medical and manufacturing advances (OIIQ, 1996), in addition to demand specialised knowledge in addition to advanced abilities (Association deren infirmières et infirmiers sobre soins intensifs du North america, 2009). Even so, besides the normal problems related to CE (e. g., the cost associated with CE pursuits and this time required to be present at CE activities), essential attention nurses in remote parts face several additional challenges. For instance, access for you to relevant CE is jeopardized by their physical seclusion and the general nature of the care provided in far off locations, which often differs in the specialized health care given in city centres (Anderson & Kimber, 1991; Fairchild et 's., 2013; Gaul & Croker, 1998).
Observations in health care controls suggest that the CE needs of critical health care nurses in Abitibi-Témiscamingue, a web-based useful resource region in the province of Québec, happen to be not being met since of the poor convenience and relevance in the available CE activities. Within reality, in 2015, with respect to the amount of conformity to the OIIQ's professional requirement about CE, four of the province's six remote resource districts scored below the regional average (81. 6%): Abitibi-Témiscamingue (78. 3%), Bas-St-Laurent (81. 5%), Côte-Nord (79. 1%), together with Gaspésie-Îles-de-la-Madeleine (76. 2%) (OIIQ, 2016). Although 평생교육사 of studies in another place throughout the world (Australia, Britain, and the United States) have explored the VOTRE needs of crucial health care nurses in remote parts (Casey et 's., 08; Chaboyer et al., 1997; Field, 2002; Gaul & Croker, 1998; Kidd et al., 2012; Paulson, 1996; Wolf & Delao, 2013), no previous Canadian research has addressed this issue. Thus, it was essential to gather information about the specific VOTRE needs of critical attention healthcare professionals in these remote regions.
The overall aim involving this study was to be able to investigate the needs, viewpoints, and beliefs of crucial care nurses working throughout remote resource districts inside the province of Québec regarding VOTRE. This investigation aimed to 1) assess critical care nurses' full satisfaction regarding CE; 2) recognize facilitators and obstructions for you to their participation in VOTRE activities; 3) identify his or her CE activities during the particular past season; 4) figure out their preferences in phrases of delivery modalities, subjects, and organization of CE activities; and 5) explain their opinions and beliefs regarding continuing professional development (CPD) as measured by Questionnaire of Professional Progress Nurses (Q-PDN) (Brekelmans tout autant que way., 2015).
