Continuing education is an important part of nursing practice. These interventions help maintain clinical competence and are mandated by regulatory bodies. Often, continuing education interventions are created ad hoc and implemented without testing or formal evaluation of learning outcomes. In the current health care context, where resources are limited, educators are pressed to do more with less. Having access to a repository of existing continuing education interventions will facilitate the use of evidence-informed learning strategies and save valuable time by reducing duplication of efforts. Therefore, this systematic review aimed to explore continuing education interventions for licensed nurses working in psychiatry. All standard systematic review procedures were followed, including double screening, data extraction, and quality appraisal. This article presents an inventory of existing interventions, including summaries, as well as the reported effectiveness of each for nursing outcomes. Generally, the continuing education interventions result in positive nurse-related outcomes, such as increased knowledge, confidence, and skills, or improved attitudes; however, more rigorous research is needed to advance science in this area.

继续教育是护理实践的重要组成部分。这些干预措施有助于维持临床能力，并且是监管机构所要求的。通常，继续教育干预措施是临时制定并实施的，没有对学习成果进行测试或正式评估。在当前资源有限的医疗环境中，教育工作者面临着用更少资源做更多事情的压力。能够访问现有的继续教育干预措施库将有助于采用循证学习策略，并通过减少重复工作节省宝贵的时间。因此，本系统评价旨在探索针对从事精神病学工作的执业护士的继续教育干预措施。遵循了所有标准的系统评价程序，包括双重筛选、数据提取和质量评估。本文列出了现有干预措施的清单，包括总结内容以及每种干预措施对护理结果的报告有效性。总体而言，继续教育干预措施产生了与护士相关的积极结果，如知识增加、信心增强、技能提高或态度改善；然而，需要更严格的研究来推动该领域的科学发展。[《护理学继续教育杂志》。2019年；50(5):233 - 240。]
