Thực trạng, nhu cầu đào tạo liên tục của điều dưỡng viên tại Bệnh viện Hữu nghị Việt Đức năm 2025

In the rapidly evolving landscape of modern healthcare, marked by swift scientific and technological advancements, the continuous professional development of healthcare personnel is paramount. Knowledge acquired during initial training can quickly become outdated, underscoring the critical importance of continuous training to uphold high standards of patient care and meet evolving professional requirements. For nurses, particularly, active engagement in ongoing education is vital for enhancing clinical competence and soft skills. This study addresses the current landscape of continuous learning by investigating the need for continuous training among nurses at Viet Duc University Hospital, providing crucial insights into their training participation, preferences, and essential skill requirements.

Healthcare administrators, nursing educators, policymakers, and nursing professionals interested in continuous professional development and quality improvement in healthcare settings.

This cross-sectional study investigated the current status and need for continuous training among 275 nurses at Viet Duc University Hospital in 2025 using a semi-structured questionnaire. The findings revealed a remarkably high participation rate, with 97.8% of nurses having attended at least one continuous training course within the previous two years. The blended learning format, combining in-person and online methods, was the most favored approach, accounting for 56.5% of participation. Key training areas were concentrated on essential competencies such as patient safety (86.5%), emergency care (80.4%), and communication skills (81.1%). The overall demand for further training remained exceptionally high at 96.7%, with priority given to skills in emergency and urgent care, patient safety, communication, and professional practice aligned with legal and ethical standards. The study concluded that nurses are actively engaged in continuous professional development, not merely to fulfill regulatory requirements but primarily to enhance their clinical expertise and soft skills, directly contributing to improved patient care. A significant preference was noted for short-term, hospital-based courses, often due to work schedules and financial considerations, highlighting the importance of flexible and accessible training options. This research offers critical insights for policymakers and training providers to develop programs that meet the specific needs of nursing professionals, thereby elevating healthcare standards.
