Background: Continuous professional development (CPD) trainings have been reported to enhance health care workers’ knowledge and skills, improve retention and recruitment, improve quality of patient care and reduce patients’ mortality. This calls for validated training needs assessment tools for facilitating the design of effective CPD programs. Methods: A cross-sectional survey was conducted using self-administered questionnaires. The survey involved selected Reproductive, Maternal and Neonatal Health (RMNH) health care workers from 7 hospitals, 12 of 51 health centers and 17 of 292 dispensaries within eight districts of Mwanza Region, Tanzania. The training needs assessment (TNA) tool adapted from the Hennessy-Hicks’ Training Needs Assessment Questionnaire (TNAQ) was used for data collection. Results: A total of 153 healthcare workers participated in this study. The majority of participants were females 83% (127) with average age of 39 years. Nurses formed a majority of participants 76% (n=115) with relatively similar mean duration in service or in RMNH of 7.9 years. The reliability of the adapted TNAQ was found to be 0.954. Relatedly, indexes for construct validity indicated that CFI was equal to 1, Chi-square Mean/Degree of Freedom (CMIN/DF) was equal to 0.000 and Mean Square Error Approximation (RMSEA) was equal to 0.185. Conclusion: The adapted TNAQ appear to be reliable and valid for identifying professional training needs of health care workers in RMNH health care settings. The tool has a considerable level of psychometric properties that makes it suitable for assessing the training needs among health care workers of different cadres. However, the applicability of the TNAQ in the wider health care systems remains unclear. Future studies with a large sample size are required to test the use of TNAQ in wider health care systems and learning opportunities.

“…Die Interviewten der vorliegenden Studie präzisieren, dass sie interprofessionelle Delir-Fortbildungen zusammen mit denjenigen Personen, mit denen sie in ihrer täglichen Arbeit zu tun haben, bevorzugen. Genau dies wird auch von Weller et al (2014) und Sockalingam et al (2015) empfohlen.…”

“…Trotz der unterschiedlichen Priorisierung von Patienten/-innen mit Delir waren sich die verschiedenen Professionen über die Komplexität des Delirs einig und gestanden sich auch eine teilweise Überforderung in der Betreuung ein. Unsicherheit in der Betreuung von Patienten/-innen mit Delir wirkt sich auf IPZ aus, respektive kann dazu führen, dass Delir nicht als Aufgabe für das gesamte interprofessionelle Team betrachtet wird (Sockalingam et al, 2015). Mittels interprofessionellen Delir-Fortbildungen könnte dem fehlenden Wissen und Können und der Überforderung der verschiedenen Professionen im Umgang mit Patienten/-innen im Delir entgegenwirkt werden.…”

Section: Sich Mit Hindernissen Auseinandersetzenunclassified

“…Weil das Delir so facettenreich und komplex ist und die Konsequenzen für Betroffene schwerwiegend sind, kann die Betreuung dieser Patienten/-innen nicht von einer Profession alleine geleistet werden, sondern es bedarf der IPZ (Brajtman et al, 2008;Neufeld et al, 2011;Savaskan et al, 2016). IPZ in der Praxis, ergänzt von interprofessionellen Delir-Fortbildungen, kann die Teamarbeit fördern (Sockalingam et al, 2014;Sockalingam et al, 2015) und das klinische Outcome von Patienten/-innen mit Delir verbessern (Sockalingam et al, 2014). Obwohl IPZ im klassischen Duo Arzt/Ärztin -Pflege untersucht wurde, ist wenig darüber bekannt, wie IPZ sich mit anderen involvierten Professionen gestaltet.…”

AbstractIntroductionInterprofessional collaboration (IPC) is dependent on different expectations and communication styles. IPC is a meaningful approach to accomplish treatment goals, especially in patients with delirium. Delirium affects approximately 50 % of patients older than 65 years in acute care settings. The constant attention and effort needed to care for patients suffering from delirium is challenging and cannot be provided by one profession alone. Instead, there is a need for IPC.AimThis study aims to analyse the structure of IPC in the treatment of patients suffering from delirium.MethodData was collected by conducting three group interviews and six individual interviews with members of different professions in an acute care hospital, and analysed by Charmaz's (2014) grounded theory approach.ResultsA model called enabling IPC in delirium management was developed. This model shows how mutual respect and appreciation, being in dialog and dealing with challenges in IPC interact with each other and also affect each other. Mutual respect and appreciation are common baseline values that have a pivotal effect on the dialog between professions and the management of IPC challenges. Being in dialog and dealing with challenges in IPC are essential values for enabling IPC, as well as mutual respect and appreciation.ConclusionMutual respect and appreciation is fundamental for enabling IPC in the treatment of patients suffering from delirium. Interprofessional education, structured interprofessional care conferences and standardised communication can offer opportunities to foster mutual respect and appreciation which, in turn enable IPC.

“…According to Sockalingam et al (2015), employee training in the banking industry is important in making sure that the employees are motivated to work, though making sure that they got the relevant and essential skills for doing excellent work.

Despite the progress made in implementation of Agency Banking both the Commercial Banks and the Agents have not realized the expected results. The study aimed at establishing the relationship between training needs assessment, on-the-job training, off-the-job training and training evaluation and the performance of agency banking Kenya. The study was guided by the Human Capital Theory, Resource Based Theory, and Experiential learning theory, Reinforcement theory and Balanced Scorecard. The study adopted a descriptive research design. The study targeted a population of 882 comprising Agency Banking Managers, Agency Banking Supervisors and Bank Agents ans selected a sample of 268 respondents. Primary data was obtained using self-administered open and closed ended questionnaires and an interview guide. Secondary data was obtained from the banks record on profitability, market share and number of transactions. Data was analyzed for descriptive and inferential statistics using Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS Version 25.0). The information was presented in form of tables and graphs. The study found out that training needs assessment influences performance of agency banking in Kenya to a great extent. The study also found that transfer were used in the banks and it provided experience in other areas. The study concluded that Training Needs Assessment had the most influence on the performance of agency banking in Kenya, followed by onthe Job Training, then by Training Evaluation and the least was off-the Job Training. The study recommends that the commercial banks should assess their agents' needs for training and development more often and conduct them as need arises. Further, the study recommends that the commercial banks should give equal opportunity and chance to every employee to participate in the training programmes.
