Abstract:
Background: Continuing education affects nursing skills and care specific to nurses, as well as learning attitudes, including learner autonomy. Simulation-based education is reported to create motivation for learners.
Purpose: This study aims to determine the factors that motivated participants in a continuing education program for nurses to learn through the program.
Methods: This study used a qualitative design. Participants were 10 graduates who had participated in a continuing education program. Data collection used a focus interview, with the content categorized based on similarities.
Results: The results of this study identified two categories: Factors Related to Educational Design and Factors related to the learning environment.
Conclusion: In continuing education for nurses, the study suggested that relating the simulation theme to daily nursing practices influences the motivation to learn. Another strength of the continuing education for nurses is as the facilitators are familiar faculty members, which creates an enjoyable learning atmosphere.
