摘要

Objective: This study aimed to evaluate the self-directed learning ability of junior emergency department (ED) nurses and provide the rationale for whether it is necessary to strengthen the training of junior ED nurses. Methods: Using the convenience sampling method, a self-directed learning ability questionnaire survey was conducted among 358 junior ED nurses in several tertiary hospitals in Guangdong Province. Results: The total score of self-learning ability of junior ED nurses was 119.85±16.82 (scores ＞135, 85-135, and ＜85 indicate excellent, intermediate, and poor self-learning ability, respectively). The retrospective analysis showed that gender, whether having participated in academic education, and the degree of motivation for promotion were major factors that affected the self-learning ability of junior ED nurses (P＜0.05). Conclusions: The self-learning ability of junior ED nurses in Guangdong is at an intermediate level. Nursing managers should pay more attention to the junior ED nurses with poor self-learning ability. In particular, adopting various training methods and establishing appropriate promotion mechanisms and economic incentive measures may help improve their self-learning ability and enable them to meet job requirements.
