OBJECTIVE: To assess the learning styles and educational strategy preferences among critical care nurses, operating room nurses, and infection control practitioners. DESIGN: Descriptive multicenter survey using a self-report questionnaire. SETTING: 108 hospitals from nine geographic regions of the United States. PARTICIPANTS: A random sample of 303 (93%) nurses in the three specialties responded to the survey questionnaires. RESULTS: The majority of participants (64%) had an abstract learning style and preferred the self-directed, discovery approach to learning. CONCLUSIONS: Nurses may be more abstract in their learning styles than previously reported. Experiential learning theory is an effective means of identifying nurses' learning styles and teaching/learning preferences, which can then be used to plan basic and continuing educational programs.
