Design, Implementation, and Evaluation of a Learning Needs Assessment for Nursing Professional Development Practitioners

Adam T Booth et al. J Nurses Prof Dev. 2024 Mar-Apr.

Abstract

The purpose of this descriptive study was to highlight how a system-level education department operationalized the 2022 Association for Nursing Professional Development Scope and Standards of Practice into a learning needs assessment (LNA) survey. This was a collaborative approach to LNA design, implementation, and evaluation. The LNA conducted among nursing professional development practitioners determined areas for educational improvement, barriers to nursing professional development, and identified standards and competencies critical to improving knowledge acquisition.
