Abstract

Objectives: To describe the current state and determine the requirements for continuing education (CE) of clinical nurses in Vinh Phuc province from 2019 to 2022. Subjects and method: A cross-sectional descriptive study, combining quantitative and qualitative, was conducted on 677 clinical nurses working in Vinh Phuc province from February 2022 to October 2022. Results: Although 100% of nurses participated in clinical training from 2019 to 2022 (n=677), only 39.6% attended the requisite number of sessions. The majority of training programs are short-term (52.3%); the training content is mostly technical skills and communication; training in scientific research accounts for just 30.7%. Most of the research subjects have training needs in Advanced Qualification (79.5%) and Nursing Technical Skills (69%). In which, the need for training in performing first aid techniques accounts for the highest rate (90.7%), followed by Ambu ball squeeze and extra-thoracic compression (73.1%). The Intubation Intubation Technique (87.9%) and the Intubation Assistance Technique (74.6%) have the greatest proportion of training demands among difficult nursing methods. Conclusion: Although 100% of nurses participated in the CME program, only 39.6% attended the requisite number of classes. The nursing program focuses on nursing technical skills, scientific research training, and a variety of complicated nursing procedures that have not before been focused on. Most nurses need training to advance their professional credentials, communication skills, and scientific research.
