Summary
We understand Continuing Education as the learning actions that individuals maintain after their professional formation, at any moment, including any professional practice, and obtained by various ways; there are several definitions in the literature (ŞENYUVA, 2012; PERES; LEITE; GONÇALVES, 2010). We can classify professional continuing education as the Continuing Education directed to work actions. To follow the changes occurring in the work market, with the increase of technology and health publications, continuing education has been regarded as a strategy for the qualification of professionals as it updates their knowledge and improves their skills and abilities in clinical practice after formal education All professional education strategies devoted to professionals after formal education (continuing education, in service education, training and others) are treated as continuing education in a broad sense. Continuing education in nursing has currently received the attention of professionals, health services and professional councils, and has been the subject of many theoretical studies of qualitative or quantitative approach (GRISCTI; JACONO, 2006).
