The public’s demand for competent and safe health care obligates the profession to meet the challenges of high quality care with current knowledge and skills. The maintenance of competence and the participation in continuous professional development (CPD) has firmly been established as a professional standard with the purpose of ensuring the safety of the public. The enhancement and maintenance of knowledge and skills can be obtained through participation in CPD programmes. Despite the importance of CPD, not many critical care nurse practitioners avail themselves of the opportunity to attend CPD programmes. The overall aim of this research was to reach consensus regarding the reasons for the unsatisfactory attendance of a CPD programme developed for critical care units in a private hospital in Gauteng. A consensus methodology was used to involve the critical care nurse practitioners in planning and prioritising strategies for a future continuous professional development programme. Using the nominal group technique the critical care nurse practitioners reflected on their experience related to the current CPD programme and provided inputs and ranked priorities. Fourteen critical care nurse practitioners participated in the nominal group session. Consensus was reached regarding five priorities that should be implemented as strategies to enhance attendance of future CPD programmes. In rank order these priorities were communication, continuous professional development, clinical training, time constraints and financial implications. A central theme “attitude” was included as attitude has a powerful effect on all of the above mentioned priorities. In conclusion the study focussed on identifying and discussing the reasons for unsatisfactory attendance of a CPD programme. Based on the reasons identified priorities were set and strategies were collaboratively developed to enhance future attendance of a CPD programme. gm2015 Nursing Science MCur Unrestricted 2015-03-11T07:14:28Z 2015-03-11T07:14:28Z 2014-04-25 2013 Dissertation Viljoen, ME 2013, Strategies to enhance attendance of a continuous professional development programme for critical care nurse practitioners at a private hospital in Gauteng, MCur Dissertation, University of Pretoria, Pretoria, viewed yymmdd <http://hdl.handle.net/2263/43935> E14/4/276/gm http://hdl.handle.net/2263/43935 en © 2014 University of Pretoria.
