Abstract :Objective: To identify the training needs of nurses working in a cardiovascular surgery intensive care unit. Methods: This descriptive qualitative-phe nomenological study was conducted with 8 nurses working in the cardiovascular surgery intensive care unit of a private hospital in Ankara. The data were collected through face-to-face interviews with 7 semi-structured open-ended questions created to determine the training needs of nurses between March and June 2022. The obtained data were analyzed using content analysis by 3 researchers using Colaizzi’s phenomenological method, and themes were created. Results: After the data analysis, 3 main themes emerged: skills required for cardiovascular intensive care unit nurses, difficulties experienced by cardiovascular intensive care unit nurses, and training needs. Conclusion: IThe study found that there were no standard training programs about nursing care provided to cardiovascular intensive care unit nurses. Development of up-to-date and evidence-based training programs in this field may be helpful to maintain high-quality nursing care.
