dc.description.abstract |
Continuing nursing education (CNE) is a mandate to the development of nurses’ knowledge, skills and attitudes to deliver quality nursing care that responds to the continuous updates in the healthcare system. It is also a significant contributor to nurses’ satisfaction and retention. In Lebanon, hospital accreditation standards mandate the allocation of 30 training hours for all the nursing staff. Yet, there is no evidence-based model that exists to help nurse educators in formulating effective programs that responds to the needs of the nursing staff. Thus, a scientific model is needed to ensure the proper development of CNE programs. Based on scientific CNE concepts found in literature, a model was created for developing CNE programs through a continuous process perspective with input, throughput and output. The CNE input includes human and non-human resources, needs assessment, setting program objectives and designing the program. CNE throughput involves the implementation and monitoring of the program. CNE output involves the evaluation of the program output and further outcomes on patients’ health. Healthcare organizations are recommended to adopt the CNE model to formulate successful CNE programs and to host the program in a CNE department that better serve and develop CNE practice. Organizations are also recommended to collaborate with the Order of nurses through its CNE committee to ensure the delivery of quality CNE offerings. |
