Abstract

The nursing staff has worked to perfect its epistemic object through the dimensions in which it develops, however, it has remained stagnant within repetitions of healthcare activities, studies show that the empirical knowledge acquired is not sufficient for the challenges in the society and the changes in the health-disease process, evidencing the need to access continuing education courses, but there are challenges that hinder access to education and training programs. The objective of the study was to analyze the factors that influence participation in continuing education from the perspective of the nursing professional. In the methodology, a study was carried out within the interpretive-sociocritical paradigm, of a qualitative type and ethnographic, contextualized in a hospital of the second level of care in Ecuador. The participants were 4 nursing professionals and a semi-structured interview was applied on the subject in question, promoting reflection on it. The main results highlight that the factors that influence continuing education from the perspective of the nursing professional are work overload, excess responsibility, and the courses are not focused on topics of interest to the professional, discouraging them. It is concluded that despite the felt need for continuing education in nursing professionals, there are factors that hinder their implementation, ranging from the workplace, institutional to personal reasons, producing a lack of motivation in their execution.
