Abstract

Introduction: To address the challenges that the advanced nursing process poses to nurses working in clinical practice, workshops were organised to familiarise them with standardised nursing languages. The aim of this study was to explore nurses' experience of these workshops.
Methods: The study utilised a qualitative approach with a descriptive research design. An evaluation questionnaire with three open-ended questions was used for data  collection. The study was conducted on a convenience sample of 160 nurses who had participated in the training workshops in 2020 and 2021. A qualitative analysis of the transcripts was conducted using a thematic network.
Results: Based on the analysis of the transcripts, a thematic network of participants' experiences of the training workshop was created with two common themes: (1) the implementation of the workshop, and (2) the practical application. Within the first common theme, the participants' perceptions were mostly positive, with the exception of those related to the workshop materials.  Within the second common theme, suggestions for putting the advanced nursing process into practice were  the most common, followed by negative experiences related to the complexity of the content, and positive experiences related to insight into future knowledge.
Discussion and conclusion: While the majority of participants were satisfied with the workshops, they also expressed concern about the appropriateness of introducing standardised language into practice in the current situation of nursing shortage. It is necessary to continue implementing systematic formal as well as informal training of nurses working in clinical practice, using training methods adapted to the participants, in order to achieve greater impact and higher motivation.
