“…The statistical significance tests showed that learning was related to the applicability of the new knowledge and skills, the improvement of professional competence, and the improvement in quality of care. However, these data are divergent with the results of other studies about health care environments where knowledge and attitude change due to education programs, but remain only for a short period of time [37,38,39]. Therefore, follow up intervention programs and assessments linked to education and practice require to be planned as a key point of continuous training [40].…”

As one of the training methodologies employed in the health care context, ‘Learning by Doing’ prioritizes the transference of competence, control, and workplace motivation. However, there are few published works that consider the opinions of health care professionals in relation to the effects of this kind of training on their workplace competence. The goal of this research was to evaluate the level of satisfaction and impact on quality of care, as perceived by the health care professionals that participated in this training program (Formative Focus). The evaluation utilized an online questionnaire that assessed professional satisfaction through five dimensions: The training methodology; the training program; its economic impact; perceived improvement in professional competence; and, perceived improvement in quality of care. A total of 364 health professionals took part in the training course and were asked to complete an online questionnaire. The variables that contemplated satisfaction were related to quality of care and preferences regarding the training methodology. Participants preferred interactive methods for learning with emphasis on practical contents. In terms of application of learning to their jobs, health care professionals found Learning by Doing skills more useful to transfer to their workplace. This experience of Learning by Doing training indicates an interesting potential for impact on improvement: Quality of health care, health care competence of professionals, and organizational development.

Design: A quasi-experimental research design was used to conduct this research. Setting: The study was conducted in the intensive care unit at Assiut University, Rajhy Hospital for Liver. Subjects: A convenience sample of 60 adult patients diagnosed with acute pancreatitis. Tools: Data were collected using: tool I patients' assessment sheet, Tool II patients' outcomes sheet. Results revealed that the majority patients of pre and post program ranged between 18-77 years with mean of (42.37±18.4), most of them female, there was statistically significant difference regarding ascites (p=<0.001**) between patients` group pre and post program. Conclusion:The incidence of acute pancreatitis complications for patients cared by nurses who received education program was decreased. Recommendation: Replication of this research on a larger probability sample acquired from different geographic area in Arab republic of Egypt for generalization.

“…Structured supervision and a feedback mechanism is necessary after each seminar to make sure the knowledge and skills were understood correctly, and to collaborate with local counterparts to check if the new knowledge is implemented smoothly in the real settings, and if not, how we could improve. It is important to develop a follow up mechanism to understand the knowledge gained and attitude change in practice amongst participants, as some studies have found that knowledge can be lost over short period of time 29,30 . We, together with our Mongolian counterparts, need to develop a feedback evaluation framework to be used after the seminar by the local leaders to use evaluate each courses' strengths and weaknesses and use the information for further development.…”

Objectives: Our aim was to develop a sustainable continuing education model for nurses in maternal and child health through examining the outcomes of a distance education intervention. Methods: An online anonymous survey was conducted to evaluate a web-based continuing education program used by nurses in Mongolia. Results: 356 people out of 699 (50.9%) of the people responded. Over 80% were nurses with average clinical experience 13.9 ± 9.9 years. The major reasons for participation were to broaden knowledge and skills (50.3%). Participants' pride in being a nurse, and job satisfaction after the program increased (4.3/ 5.0) and they enjoyed interacting with foreign lecturers and participants by using IT technology (4.2/ 5.0). From analysis of their free text descriptions, the nurses who used the continuing education program hope to that the topics expand to include nursing ethics, nursing theories, and international standards, among others. The needs for hands-on skill training and improving teaching and technical skills were noted. Conclusion: Results revealed that the web-based continuing education program was well received. New knowledge and skills were widely shared and adapted into local contexts, including developing new clinical guidelines and manuals, enhanced revision of undergraduate curricular content and improved teaching methods. Job satisfaction amongst participants was increased after the intervention.
