Knowledge Item: CA-Training Impact: Systems Change-02
Average Effect of Trainings on Systems Change
A cross-cutting telephone study of
218 service providers was conducted. After an average of eight months
following a HIV/AIDS training experience, trainees rated the training as
having a positive impact on their clinical behavior. Respondents described how the training affected how they think
about HIV (one question), how they deal with patients (three questions) and how the system
in which they work functions (four questions).
These training effectiveness ratings
were positive
and high for all domains, with each mean falling between "small" and
"medium" positive effects. The highest positive change due to the training
experience was associated with how trainees current provide services and
care to patients.
Note: A related
set of Knowledge Items assess how the training affected the
patient care at the agencies of the individuals trained.
The coding
of systems level change was done by Harold Henderson, M.D., of the
University of Mississippi Medical School, Victor German, M.D., of the
University of Texas Medical School, and Catherine Rohweder, M.P.H., of
the State University of New York using open-ended responses to
questions in the training follow up semi-structured interview
conducted by The Measurement Group.
