Objectives

Continuing professional development is essential for healthcare professionals to maintain and acquire the necessary knowledge and skills to provide person centred, safe and effective care. This is particularly important in the rapidly changing healthcare context of the Covid-19 pandemic. Despite recognition of its importance in the United Kingdom, minimum required hours for re-registration, and related investment, have been small compared to other countries. The aim of this review is to understand the factors that optimise continuing professional development impact for learning, development and improvement in the workplace.

Design

A rapid evidence review was undertaken using Arksey and O'Malley's (2005) framework; identifying a research question, developing a search strategy, extracting, collating and summarising the findings.

Review methods

In addressing the question ‘What are the factors that enable or optimise CPD impact for learning, development and improvement in the workplace at the individual, team, organisation and system level?’ the British Nursing Index, the Cochrane Library, CINAHL, HTA database, King's Fund Library, and Medline databases were searched for key terms. A total of 3790 papers were retrieved and 39 were included.

Results

Key factors to optimising the impact of nursing and inter-professional continuing development are; self-motivation, relevance to practice, preference for workplace learning, strong enabling leadership and a positive workplace culture. The findings reveal the interdependence of these important factors in optimising the impact of continuing professional development on person-centred care and outcomes.

Conclusion

In the current, rapidly changing, healthcare context it is important for educators and managers to understand the factors that enhance the impact of continuing professional development. It is crucial that attention is given to addressing all of the optimising factors in this review to enhance impact. Future studies should seek to measure the value of continuing professional development for people experiencing care, nurses and the wider organisation.

优化护理领域持续专业发展影响的因素：快速证据审查

目标

持续的专业发展对于医疗保健专业人员而言，保持并获得必要的知识和技能，以提供以人为本的，安全有效的护理至关重要。这在Covid-19大流行的快速变化的医疗保健环境中尤其重要。尽管承认其在英国的重要性，但与其他国家相比，重新注册和相关投资的最低要求小时数很小。这次审查的目的是了解优化持续职业发展对工作场所学习，发展和改善的影响的因素。

设计

使用Arksey和O'Malley（2005）的框架进行了快速证据审查。确定研究问题，制定搜索策略，提取，整理和总结研究结果。

审查方法

在回答“在个人，团队，组织和系统级别上，哪些因素可以使CPD对工作场所的学习，发展和改善产生或优化CPD影响？” 在英国护理索引，Cochrane图书馆，CINAHL，HTA数据库，国王基金图书馆和Medline数据库中搜索了关键术语。共检索到3790篇论文，其中39篇被收录。

结果

优化护理和专业间持续发展影响的关键因素是；自我激励，与实践相关，偏爱工作场所学习，强有力的领导才能和积极的工作场所文化。研究结果揭示了这些重要因素之间的相互依存关系，从而优化了持续专业发展对以人为本的护理和结果的影响。

结论

在当前瞬息万变的医疗保健背景下，对于教育工作者和管理者来说，了解增强持续职业发展影响的因素非常重要。至关重要的是，在本次审查中要注意解决所有优化因素，以增强影响。未来的研究应设法衡量持续专业发展对经历护理的人们，护士和更广泛的组织的价值。
