There is a constant need to find methods and tools for achieving high quality in health education and health promotion programs. The aim of this initiative was to develop standards and criteria for quality assessment of health education programs. Health educators participated in a process to develop these standards and criteria. A consensus was reached regarding the list of standards by participation of the health educators in two workshops. This list consisted of the three main stages of health education programs: planning, implementation and evaluation. Operational criteria for each standard were developed in order to be able to measure the standards. Four different subjects were chosen for the development of the criteria: menopause, smoking cessation, cardiac rehabilitation and prenatal care. A consensus regarding these criteria was reached by discussions in workshops. The tools developed were tested by interviewing health educators who were planning and running these programs. The tools built were found acceptable by the health educators as they provided information on the quality of the programs.
一直都需要寻找方法和工具来实现健康教育与健康促进项目的高质量。该倡议的目的是制定健康教育项目质量评估的标准和准则。健康教育工作者参与了制定这些标准和准则的过程。通过健康教育工作者参与两次研讨会,就标准清单达成了共识。这份清单包括健康教育项目的三个主要阶段:规划、实施和评估。为了能够衡量这些标准,制定了每个标准的操作准则。为制定准则选择了四个不同的主题:更年期、戒烟、心脏康复和产前护理。通过研讨会中的讨论就这些准则达成了共识。所开发的工具通过采访正在规划和实施这些项目的健康教育工作者进行了测试。所构建的工具被健康教育工作者认为是可接受的,因为它们提供了有关项目质量的信息。
