Exploration of the Relationship between the Training Needs of Nurses and Nurses’ Learning in Pakistan

Abstract

Enhancing the performance of nurses is mostly dependent on training. The purpose of this study is to evaluate nurses' training needs to determine their learning needs. The design of this study was mixed methods. The interview schedule was conducted with the participants. In the second stage of the qualitative study, eight nurses were interviewed in an organized manner. 413 nurses took part in this poll. With a mean score of 3.8 (SD: 0.7), nurses were found to be competent in meeting fluid and electrolyte needs. Mixed training was the most anticipated training model (47.2%), followed by audio-visual media (94.7%), internal training (95.2%), and training time flexibility (68%). The interviews' findings suggest that mapping the nurse's competency is essential. A full assessment of the training needs should be conducted, taking into account the demand for media and other learning resources.
