In-service education is planned learning provided by employers to develop employees' abilities and competencies. It aims to improve performance, acquire new knowledge, develop skills required for practice, maintain high nursing standards, and observe and enact changes in staff behavior. In-service education can be centralized, decentralized, or combined. Planning is key and must be ongoing to meet the changing learning needs of nurses. Methods of in-service education include ward teaching, discussions, laboratories, conferences, seminars, workshops, field trips, and job orientations. Evaluation of in-service programs assess gains in knowledge, attitudes, and practices through methods like pre-tests/post-tests, written tests, checklists, and rating scales.
