This paper reports the views of teaching staff and clinical assessors on their experience of programme delivery and assessment.
In 2001, the Irish Department of Health and Children developed a vocational training programme for healthcare assistants. This programme was piloted nationally across 14 hospital and community sites. Teaching staff and clinical assessors at each site delivered the programme.
One-to-one semi-structured interviews were undertaken with 16 clinical staff and 26 teaching staff. With consent, all interviews were tape-recorded, from which the transcripts were subject to content analysis.
A lack of experience and preparation among teaching staff and clinical assessors was evident. The staff's commitment to their role on the programme while maintaining their normal duties caused frustration and uncertainty. Not withstanding, the value of the programme in terms of increased motivation, satisfaction and knowledge of healthcare assistants and the impact on care delivery, was recognized by respondents.
This programme represents the provision of a national standard training programme for healthcare assistants. It provides an insight into the delivery of such a programme and the educational and training needs of healthcare assistants through the views of staff that taught and assessed on it.
Findings suggest that the development and implementation of a national training programme for healthcare assistants is achievable.
本文报告了教学人员和临床评估人员对课程交付和评估体验的看法。
2001年,爱尔兰卫生与儿童部为医疗保健助理制定了一项职业培训计划。该计划在全国14个医院和社区场所进行了试点。每个场所的教学人员和临床评估人员负责实施该计划。
对16名临床工作人员和26名教学人员进行了一对一的半结构化访谈。经同意,所有访谈均进行了录音,并对转录本进行了内容分析。
教学人员和临床评估人员明显缺乏经验和准备。工作人员在履行正常职责的同时对其在该计划中的角色的投入导致了挫败感和不确定性。尽管如此,受访者认识到该计划在提高医疗保健助理的积极性、满意度和知识以及对护理提供的影响方面的价值。
该计划代表了为医疗保健助理提供国家标准培训计划。它通过参与教学和评估的工作人员的观点,深入了解了此类计划的实施以及医疗保健助理的教育和培训需求。
研究结果表明,为医疗保健助理制定和实施国家培训计划是可行的。
