摘要
國內護理界還沒有更新證照之具體方案，行政院衛生署未得到護理團體同意時已將護理人員執業執照修正案送交立法院。此行動易造成護理專業的傷害。故本研究之目的是研發一套護理執業執照更新機制。本研究採隨機抽樣問卷調查法，以郵寄方式，研究對象包括：臨床護士、護理老師、護理主管、消費者等共360位。研究結果顯示：(1)執業執照需要建立更新機制，以達到提升護理品質、專業形象，並使病人的安全照護更有保障；(2)更新機制應交由衛生署專責機構負責；(3)更新機制的條件包括實際臨床時數與繼續教育；(4)每年至少10-15小時之繼續教育時數；(5)臨床執業時數宜每年超過80小時；(6)執業執照應訂定效期；(7)執照更新費用可優先考量＜500元。本研究之結果可以作為國內決策者之佐證及參考。
