Abstract

PKU Muhammadiyah Gamping Hospital has a few medical surgical nurses who are on duty in several different unit. Almost 90% of CPD activities that medical surgical nurses participate in are not in accordance with their authority and competence. Nurse competence must be an important point because if nurses are incompetent, it can result in patients becoming dissatisfied, patient trust in nurses decreases, and even patient injuries and deaths. The description above makes the service team collaborate with service partners to solve existing problems together so that unwanted side effects do not arise. The main problem is that the training that medical surgical nurses participate in is not in accordance with their level of competence and authority. The identified issues can be resolved by implementing new training methods designed to introduce online training systems by enhancing self-learning and adult learning approaches. The results of the community service activities led to the following conclusion: the trial training using INNA-CPD was implemented per the plan. (b) The implementation demonstrates that the majority of nurses are capable of achieving values that exceed the average. (c) Additional support is required to conduct the training, which will involve modifications to the INNA-CPD system.
