“…One of its causes is that staff and managers are not serious about proper evaluation of courses, which is also associated with improper feedback. [1415] In Iran, few studies have investigated in-service training programs based on the Kirkpatrick model, especially in health care domain, and even in these few studies based on Kirkpatrick model, evaluation is about first and second level and the next two levels are not considered significantly. Therefore, this study was done to evaluate if this model can be a proper model for evaluation of in-service training courses in health care and especially nursing field.…”

Background:There are several evaluation models that can be used to evaluate the effect of in-service training; one of them is the Kirkpatrick model. The aim of the present study is to assess the in-service training of cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) for nurses based on the Kirkpatrick's model.Materials and Methods:This study is a cross-sectional study based on the Kirkpatrick's model in which the efficacy of in-service training of CPR to nurses was assessed in the Shahadaye Lenjan Hospital in Isfahan province in 2014. 80 nurses and Nurse's aides participated in the study after providing informed consent. The in-service training course was evaluated in reaction, learning, behavior, and results level of the Kirkpatrick model. Data were collected through a researcher-made questionnaire.Results:The mean age of the participants was 35 ± 8.5 years. The effectiveness score obtained in the reaction level (first level in the Kirkpatrick model) was 4.2 ± 0.32. The effectiveness score in the second level of model or the learning level was 4.70 ± 0.09, which is statistically significant (P < 0.001). The effectiveness score at the third and fourth level were 4.1 ± 0.34 and 4.3 ± 0.12, respectively. Total effectiveness score was 4.35.Conclusions:The results of this study showed that CPR in-service training has a favorable effect on all four levels of the Kirkpatrick model for nurses and nurse's aides.

“…For comparison, 85% of the trainees assessed the benefits achieved as "excellent" or "very good" in a Saudi Arabian course directed at improving primary healthcare knowledge. 28,31 Serious deficiencies in practical skills and clinical judgment of local trainers and course participants were observed, especially at the start of the course. 30 All participants in Kosovo thought participation in the course was relevant to their work.…”

“…The courses provided in Saudi Arabia and Alexandria were not conducted in a difficult post-conflict environment. 31 The course provided in Kosovo raised awareness about the importance of primary health care, and changed the participants attitudes about the role of primary care practitioners. 32 Proper management of common problems in primary health care also increased post-course in a study by Perez et al 33 Supervisors in the field confirmed that it was more difficult to implement newly acquired skills than to understand them.…”

Investment in training capacity ranks among the top priorities of a recovering health sector. The recovery and development of primary healthcare delivery systems has been implemented by various international and local health players in the aftermath of conflicts around the world. However, human resource development in the post-conflict environment has not been evaluated and/or published appropriately in the medical literature. Objective: In this retrospective, descriptive study, the authors describe the strategy and evaluate the effectiveness of a field-based training program for primary healthcare doctors implemented by the US-based international non-governmental organization, the International Medical Corps, after the conflict in Kosovo in 1999. Methods: A six-month, comprehensive education and training program on primary healthcare issues was delivered to 134 Kosovar primary healthcare physicians in 10 Kosovo municipalities in 1999 and 2000. Qualitative and quantitative data were collected. The qualitative methods included open-ended, semi-structured, key informant interviews, structured focus groups, and unstructured participant observations. The quantitative method was multiple-choice knowledge tests. Results: The education and training program proved to be culturally appropriate and well-accepted by local communities. The program met its overall objective to refresh the knowledge of primary care doctors on various primary healthcare issues and set the stage for further strengthening and development of primary health services and their required human resources in Kosovo. Conclusions:The comprehensive education and training of primary healthcare doctors in Kosovo was a feasible, much appreciated, and effective intervention implemented in a difficult post-conflict environment. This training was one of the early steps in the modernization of primary healthcare services in Kosovo. Later, primary health care was strengthened by the introduction of a Department of Family Medicine at the university, which includes a residency program. The intervention described in this study has the potential to be reproduced in other post-disaster environments, especially in resource-poor settings with long-time troubled health sectors in developing countries.
