Abstract(s)

We assist to changes in the way one acquires and updates information on the professional scope, by using Information and Communication Technology. Regarding the need of improving the way nurses learn by using technology, in their continuous training context, we’ve carried out a study that aims to answer the question: does the use of Internet improves the professional continuous training of the nurses, namely, in what concerns their self-training? We have followed the methodology characteristic on the exploratory studies. The analysis of results allowed us to conclude that the nurses use Internet more often within their self training’ context for the acquisition and updating of knowledge and for clarifying doubts about uncommon pathologies. The Internet is less used by them for: dissemination of scientific works, attending at distance training courses and participating in discussion’ forums. The factors that enhance the use of Internet are the possibility of consulting information, during the day, anytime, the availability of a great variety and amount of information and the access to useful and reliable information, easily and quickly. The use of internet is most limited by the excess of information available on the web, the difficulties related to the low speed of the servers, due to slowness of the search or to the impossibility of communication, as well as safety and technical problems. The meaning attributed to the use of Internet in the nurses’ self-training process relates with the advantages taken for the life long learning process.
