Analyse des besoins de formation continue en prévention et contrôle des infections auprès d’infirmières d’un centre hospitalier universitaire
The positive impact of online continuing training in infection prevention and control (IPC) nursing practice has been documented in the literature. Training Needs Analysis (TNA) is recommended as an important step in the training design process. There is little scientific literature on TNA based online continuing training module in IPC for Quebec nurses. This study aimed to identify the training needs felt with regard to the IPC skills of nurses practicing in a Montreal hospital center. 390 nurses responded to the self-administered questionnaire survey. The results of this study suggest that a hybrid online training focused on the management of infection transmission risks, occupational health and safety as well as the management of biological waste should be developed within the establishment. The results of our study also revealed significant associations between certain socio-demographic and professional characteristics and the perceived need for training for some PCI skills. These results contribute to the advancement of knowledge in nursing sciences by documenting the online training needs in IPC of Quebec nurses. This study also contributes to improving the quality of continuing education, by adapting it to the needs of learners.
