Perioperative nurses' attitudes toward continuing education.
The primary purpose of this study was to determine perioperative nurses' attitudes toward continuing education (CE) and selected demographic variables. The researcher developed and administered a Likert-type questionnaire to perioperative nurses. The first part of the questionnaire related to demographic variables, length of service at the facility as a registered nurse, and certification status. The second part of the questionnaire was a 30-item attitude scale related to perioperative nurses and CE. The null hypothesis was analyzed using a t-test at a .05 level of significance. Study findings revealed no differences in attitudes toward CE between certified perioperative nurses and noncertified perioperative nurses.
