Nurses' continuing professional development (CPD) improves the quality of nursing care, patients' safety, nurses' satisfaction and healthcare costs. However, evidence has shown that nurses do not always participate in their CPD and that CPD does not always address nurses' real needs. To examine this issue, a systematic review of the literature on nurses' experiences regarding their CPD in the clinical context was carried out. The studies selected for this review (n = 9) were analyzed thematically, through which three themes were identified: The relevance of CPD to nurses; the intrinsic and extrinsic motivations of nurses to participate in CPD; and the specific needs of nurses to participate in CPD. The findings of this review highlight that nurses' experiences regarding their CPD is a key issue that has not been deeply studied. For nurses, their CPD continues throughout their professional career, and keeping their knowledge and skills up to date is important. The goals, motivations and needs that nurses may have to lead and participate in their CPD may vary according to their age and position. Organizations should consider nurses' specific professional situation as well as their actual needs to boost their CPD through different approaches and enhance nurses' retention at hospitals.
护士的持续专业发展（CPD）可提高护理质量、患者安全、护士满意度和医疗保健成本。然而，有证据表明，护士并不总是参与他们的 CPD，而且 CPD 并不总是满足护士的实际需求。为了研究这个问题，对文献中关于护士在临床环境中 CPD 的经验进行了系统回顾。对本次综述中选择的研究（n=9）进行了主题分析，从中确定了三个主题：CPD 对护士的相关性；护士参与 CPD 的内在和外在动机；以及护士参与 CPD 的具体需求。本综述的结果强调，护士对 CPD 的体验是一个尚未深入研究的关键问题。对护士来说，他们的 CPD 贯穿整个职业生涯，保持他们的知识和技能与时俱进非常重要。护士在领导和参与 CPD 方面的目标、动机和需求可能因年龄和职位而异。组织应考虑护士的具体职业情况以及他们的实际需求，通过不同的方法来促进他们的 CPD，并提高护士在医院的留任率。
