In recent years, nurse education in the United Kingdom has undergone some major organisational changes, not least the move into higher education institutions. Concurrently, developments in the professionalisation of nursing through the UKCC's post registration education and practice reforms have led to nurses being required to identify their own educational needs. Having identified their own needs, nurses are then faced with a plethora of post registration education programmes which are aimed to facilitate their learning and, directly or indirectly, improve patient care. However, do these programmes positively influence nursing practice and the standard of care delivered? This paper reviews the literature regarding the effects that continuing professional education (CPE) programmes have upon the clinical practice of nurses. The review draws on papers primarily from North America and the UK and highlights the methodological approaches used to discover if and how nursing practice is influenced. The impact of CPE on nurses as individuals is detailed along with the effects of CPE on the delivery of patient care.
近年来，英国的护士教育经历了一些重大的组织变革，其中最主要的是向高等教育机构的转变。与此同时，通过英国中央护士、助产士及健康访视员理事会（UKCC）的注册后教育与实践改革，护理专业化进程的发展使得护士需要明确自身的教育需求。在明确了自身需求之后，护士们面临着大量的注册后教育项目，这些项目旨在促进他们的学习，并直接或间接地改善患者护理。然而，这些项目是否对护理实践和所提供的护理标准产生了积极影响呢？本文回顾了关于继续职业教育（CPE）项目对护士临床实践影响的文献。该综述主要借鉴了来自北美和英国的论文，并突出了用于探究护理实践是否以及如何受到影响的方法。详细阐述了CPE对护士个人的影响以及CPE对患者护理提供的影响。
