| dc.description.abstract | Continuous Professional Development program (CPD) for nurses conceptualized as learning activities by which nurses are able to maintain up-to-date with advances in knowledge, skills, technology and practice to provide quality health service, improve professional and personal growth, job retention and satisfaction [1]. Many studies have been conducted to evaluate the effectiveness of CPD on nursing practice, and showed that in addition to improving nurses knowledge and skill, several CPD programs are proved in contributing for service improvements, professional development, individual satisfaction and professional role expansions[2][3]. As Kawaguchi A and Mori R. reviewed several in-service trainings for nurses in low and middle income countries to improve newborn and child health care services they reported that; though there are some evidence of improvements in increasing the short term knowledge and attitudes of nurses, most in-service training programs in resource limited setting lack to bring significant improvements in clinical practice as majorities of the trainings developed based on high income countries standards; resource limitation and sustainability of the programs affect their effectiveness[4] To ensure the quality and standards of health care services in the Ethiopia, The Federal Ministry of Health (FMOH) in its 2015/16-2019/20 health sector transformation plan acknowledges the gap in CPD activities for health professionals that some are not need based, well planned, lack of documentation, evaluation and linking with re-licensure of health professionals [5] Therefore, understanding the impact of CPD programs from nurses’, who participated in CPD programs, perspective will improve understanding of the impacts of trainings and factors influence the training impact in resource limited settings. | |
