The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effectiveness of a distance training program in infant hearing health to community health workers (CHWs).
Pre- and post- tests were administered to two groups of subjects following the use of an interactive CD-ROM for tele-educational training.
Two groups of subjects were used: Group I (GI) consisted of 43 CHWs who had previously participated in at least one training activity involving hearing health, and Group II (GII) were 47 CHWs who had received no prior training in hearing health.
CHWs retained a significant amount of training content. There was not significant correlation between the global post-training questionnaire score and performance on the simulation activity (GI: r = 0.11, p = 0.698 and GII: r = 0.29, p = 0.074), and the simulation activity performance was significantly better among GI CHWs (p = 0.05).
The CHWs' training in infant hearing health using an interactive tele-educational tool was effective, as the CHW demonstrated significant short-term information retention and applied such data in hypothetical situations representative of their daily activities.
本研究旨在评估针对社区卫生工作者（CHW）的婴儿听力健康远程培训计划的效果。
在使用交互式 CD-ROM 进行远程培训后，对两组受试者进行了预测试和后测试。
使用了两组受试者：第 I 组（GI）由 43 名 CHW 组成，他们之前至少参加过一次涉及听力健康的培训活动；第 II 组（GII）由 47 名未接受过听力健康培训的 CHW 组成。
CHW 保留了大量的培训内容。全球培训后问卷调查得分与模拟活动表现之间没有显著相关性（GI：r = 0.11，p = 0.698；GII：r = 0.29，p = 0.074），且 GI 的 CHW 模拟活动表现明显更好（p = 0.05）。
使用交互式远程教育工具对 CHW 进行婴儿听力健康培训是有效的，因为 CHW 表现出了显著的短期信息保留能力，并将这些数据应用于代表其日常活动的假设情境中。
