Why do nurses participate in continuing education? A meta-analysis.
In order to explain why nurses participate in continuing education, a meta-analysis of 22 studies was conducted. All of the studies examined the relationship between several independent variables from the Urbano and Jahns' model and nurses' participation in continuing nursing education (CNE). This study supported the Urbano and Jahns' proposition that motivational orientation influences participation, while other factors, such as demographics and educational opportunity, may mediate the degree of that influence.
