樣本之獲得乃經各級醫院（醫學中心、區域醫院及地區醫院）護理主任同意後，以隨機取樣抽取701位（25％）護理人員參與，共674位各醫院護理人員完成問卷調查。
本問卷採用Cronbach´s Alpha Coefficient求取信度為0.79並經專家之建議及因素分析取得效度，資料以SAS統計程式分析百分比、ANOVA、Scheffe´ test、及複迴歸分析。
結果顯示大部份的護理人員對在職教育特正向態度。在職教育之內容、醫院有關在職育育之規定、護理人員之年齡、參加在教育之頻率、職位及服務年資，依序為最能預測護理人員對在職教育態度的因素。

The purpose of this study was to investigate hospital nurses´ attitudes toward continuing education. Continuing education was defined as non-credit organized educational programs designed for nurses by hospitals, nursing institutions, or other related organizations to maintain or improve professional competence. It included 〝in-service eductation〞, 〝on-the-job training〞, and other synonymous educational activities.
Six hundred and seventy-four randomly selected hospital nurses in Kaohsiung City participated in this study. The data was collected by delivering a 34- statement questionnaire through the directors of nursing.
Cronbach´s Alpha Coefficient was applied to determine the reliablility with a value of 0.79. Factor analysis and a group of experts´ suggestions were applied to determine the validity.
Frequency distribution, Analysis of Variance, Scheffe´ test, and Multiple Regression Analysis were conducted to analyze the research questions. The level of significance was set at 0.05 or less.
The results indicated that the majority of nurses (92.65%) hold positive attitudes toward continuing education (M=86.32). Nurses´ attitudes toward continuing education were related to selected personal and professional characteristics, and hospital policies regarding continuing education. To maintain nurses´ positive attitudes and to develop positive attitudes for those who hold negative attitudes, some strategies for continuing education should be considered by nursing administrators.
