Knowledge Item: CA-Training Impact: Systems Change-03
Effectiveness of Trainings When Systems Change Subsequently
Occurs
A cross-cutting telephone study of
218 service providers was conducted. Trainees provided concrete
examples and effectiveness ratings for 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). For all eight areas of
possible change trainees viewed the training experience as more effective and positive when
they were able to offer a specific concrete example of how the system
around them changed
due to the training.
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.
Mean Ratings of the Effective of
the Training (-3 to +3) on Action Domains for Trainees Who Did and Did
Not Provide a Concrete Example of Systems Change
