ABSTRACT

OBJECTIVES:

To investigate the effectiveness of continuing professional development in residential long-term care.

DESIGN:

Systematic review. DATA SOURCES PubMed, Cumulative Index to Nursing & Allied Health (CINAHL), and Web of Science. REVIEW

METHODS:

Empirical studies published between 2003 and 2023 describing the effectiveness of continuing professional development in long-term care were selected according to PRISMA guidelines. The type, topic, and effectiveness of continuing professional development activities in long-term care were analysed, in addition to facilitators and barriers. The protocol of this review is registered in PROSPERO.

RESULTS:

A total of 155 studies were selected, including over 17,000 participants the majority of whom were nurses. The most common topics were 'dementia care' (n = 22; 14.2 %), and restraint use (n = 14; 9 %). The impact of continuing professional development was mainly evaluated in terms of 'participant satisfaction with continuing professional development' (n = 5; 3 %), 'staff knowledge' (n = 57; 37 %), 'staff competencies and skills' (n = 35; 23 %), 'resident outcomes' (n = 45; 29 %), and 'staff wellbeing' (n = 12; 8 %). A total of 64 (41 %) studies evaluated if impact of continuing professional development was sustained over time. 'Good organisation', 'a supportive learning environment', 'expressing personal preferences', and 'management support' were described as facilitators of continuing professional development.

CONCLUSIONS:

Increasing numbers of long-term care residents with complex health conditions require nurses with advanced skills, such as dementia care. To improve the effectiveness of continuing professional development, support from managers, who adopt relational leadership styles, is instrumental to integrate new knowledge and skills into practice. This needs to be linked to career progression, and consequently increase the attractiveness of working in the long-term care sector. This could meet the dual goal of improving outcomes for residents and nurses' job satisfaction.
