Abstract

The aim of this study was to investigate whether nurses' preferred learning styles varied according to subject area studied. Thirty nurses in a postgraduate centre specializing in cardiothoracic care were interviewed using a semi-structured technique. The results suggest that there is a change in learning style as different subjects are studied. Other factors emerging were the importance of previous learning experience, the wish to share, to be acknowledged and the need for close links between theory and practice. This calls for nurse teachers to examine their practice, to update and undertake professional development and also to establish close clinical links.
