    <abstract>The aim of this research was to explain the process of nurses’ self-directed learning in
clinical practice according to their self-perceptions. The researcher applied a
phenomenological research approach as it enabled the researcher to discover and
understand the direct daily experiences of nurses as they relate to self-directed
learning in clinical practice. The research took place in a provincial Thai general
hospital with over 500 beds. The participants were seven nurses from seven wards
and four nurse educators from four departments of this hospital. Each participant had
at least one year of work experience in a general hospital with 500 patient-beds in
Thailand. Data were collected through semi-structured interviews, participant
observation and field notes over seven months from July 2003 to January 2004.
Inductive analysis was used to interpret participants’ perceptions, experiences and
behaviors. Data are presented to illustrate and substantiate interpretations of the selfdirected
learning process of nurses in clinical practices. The findings show that nurses
defined self-directed learners by four characteristics: 1) independent in learning, 2)
effective in learning, 3) accepting of responsibility for learning, and 4) able to use
problem solving skills. It was also found that nurses learned about patients, nursing
practice and nursing communications through self-direction by selecting their own
methods of learning, as well as choosing the sources of their learning. Nurse educators
have a role in encouraging and supporting nurses to learn through self-direction by
providing and suggesting how to use learning resources, building a conducive
atmosphere and environment for learning, and evaluating the effectiveness of nurses’
self-directed learning. The findings from this study indicate that the opportunity to
learn through self-direction already exists in the clinical setting. The nurses in this
study primarily utilized learning sources within the hospital setting when engaged in
self-directed learning, in particular human resources. Both structured and unstructured
activities contributed to learning opportunities for nurses in clinical practice. Critical
to their learning was the capability of identifying the learning opportunities that arise
in their work. These results can be applied in nursing development plans in order to
increase the self-directed learning potential of professional nurses. This effort may
then enhance lifelong learning among nursing personnel of hospitals. Nurses can use their knowledge and skills from self-development to provide higher quality nursing
care to patients. Eventually, their self-development will lead to their career
development and finally to the development of the organization.</abstract>
