To assess the self-selected asynchronous leadership module-based learning choices of public health professionals participating in the Maternal and Child Health Public Health Leadership Institute (MCH PHLI).
Online module completion and evaluation data were used to determine the topics most utilized by the Fellows; whether the topics and mode of training were acceptable, relevant, and practical; and whether participant characteristics explained any usage patterns.
A total of 109 enrolled Fellows in the MCH PHLI program.
Module frequency of selection by Fellows; Fellows' rating scores in regard to relevance, practicality, and acceptability of module topics.
All program titles were highly rated. The 5 most frequently selected module topics were employee engagement (87.2%), talent acquisition strategies (84.4%), employee motivation (79.8%), emotional intelligence (78.9%), and workforce development strategies (68.8%). The least accessed topics focused on cultural competence (15.6%), social marketing (25.7%), effective communication and advocacy (25.7%), family partnerships (25.9%), and creating learning organizations (31.2%). All module topics provided were rated as relevant, practical, and acceptable to these public health leaders.
Self-directed computer-based learning was rated strongly by the MCH public health leaders in this study. Such an approach can be used to customize training to individual needs and interests. These findings suggest that inclusion of skills that enable public health leaders to effectively work with and through others was of core interest in the MCH PHLI. The finding of higher usage of topics related to workforce management can provide guidance for those developing leadership development programs for maternal and child health professionals. In addition, leadership needs and interests should be assessed regularly to ensure that competency-based leadership development guidelines are adapting to the evolving and complex challenges faced by leaders. While these results were tested in MCH professionals, they may be generalizable to other disciplines within the field of public health.
评估参加母婴健康公共卫生领导力学院（MCH PHLI）的公共卫生专业人员基于自我选择的异步领导力模块的学习选择。
使用在线模块完成情况和评估数据来确定学员最常使用的主题；这些主题以及培训模式是否可接受、相关且实用；以及参与者特征是否能解释任何使用模式。
MCH PHLI项目中共有109名注册学员。
学员选择模块的频率；学员对模块主题的相关性、实用性和可接受性的评分。
所有课程标题都获得了高度评价。最常被选择的5个模块主题是员工敬业度（87.2%）、人才获取策略（84.4%）、员工激励（79.8%）、情商（78.9%）和劳动力发展策略（68.8%）。访问最少的主题集中在文化能力（15.6%）、社会营销（25.7%）、有效沟通与宣传（25.7%）、家庭伙伴关系（25.9%）和创建学习型组织（31.2%）。提供的所有模块主题对这些公共卫生领导者来说都被评为相关、实用且可接受。
在本研究中，基于计算机的自主学习受到了MCH公共卫生领导者的高度评价。这种方法可用于根据个人需求和兴趣定制培训。这些发现表明，纳入使公共卫生领导者能够有效地与他人合作并通过他人开展工作的技能是MCH PHLI的核心关注点。与劳动力管理相关主题的较高使用率这一发现可为那些为母婴健康专业人员制定领导力发展项目的人提供指导。此外，应定期评估领导力需求和兴趣，以确保基于能力的领导力发展指南能够适应领导者面临的不断演变和复杂的挑战。虽然这些结果是在MCH专业人员中进行测试的，但它们可能适用于公共卫生领域的其他学科。
