The support of lifelong learning register of nurses
SMOLOVÁ, Kateřina
This work deals with the issue of registration of non-medical health care workers as the system of documentation of lifelong education. Contemporary world lays increased demands in all disciplines, particularly in health care. In order to ensure provision of high-quality nursing care by competent workers, conditions for authorization to execute health care profession independently without professional supervision had to be set. And those conditions are defined by the registration system specified by law. Our goal was to ascertain the practical nurses{\crq} opinions on registration. To find out what the influence of registration on further nurse education is and to map what prevents nurses from education. To ascertain which forms of lifelong education are preferred by nurses and whether the employer supports nurses in lifelong education and in what manner. We selected quantitative research to process such information. A questionnaire for nurses was drawn up for data collection and 106 respondents reacted to it. The research showed that nurses prefer passive participation in events like seminars and conferences in education. Most nurses think that it is necessary to educate themselves in their discipline. Further we have found out that more than a half of the nurses inquired want to have general knowledge and educate themselves also in other disciplines than their specialization. Most inquired nurses have stated that they educate themselves more frequently than before the introduction of registration. The biggest obstacle for nurses consists in financial and time demandingness of the educational events.
