This paper informs practice in community-based home visiting workforce development by describing the development and evaluation of a university-based training certificate program for home visitors and supervisors. The Interactive Systems Framework for Dissemination and Implementation (ISF; Wandersman et al., 2008) guides our conceptualization and paper organization. The ISF describes the components involved in translating research findings into effective implementation of prevention programs. We describe implementation and lessons learned from seven development activities: (a) review of the literature, (b) survey of other training initiatives across the country, (c) focus groups with home visitors and supervisors, (d) consultation with individual home visitors, (e) creation of a state advisory board of home visiting providers and stakeholders, (f) evaluation of two pilot trainings, and (g) video development. We then present evaluation data from 49 home visitors and 23 supervisors who completed the training certificate program after the pilot trainings. Both home visitors and supervisors rated training satisfaction highly, reported significant increases in self-efficacy related to the training topics, and reported extensive use of motivational communication techniques, which are the foundational skills of the training content. These and other favorable results reflect the benefits of building on advances in theory and science-based practice and of involving providers and stakeholders repeatedly throughout the development process.
本文通过描述为家访员和主管人员设立的基于大学的培训证书计划的发展和评估，为基于社区的家访员队伍建设提供了实践信息。互动系统传播和实施框架（ISF；Wandersman 等人，2008 年）指导着我们的概念化和论文组织。ISF 描述了将研究结果转化为预防计划有效实施的各个组成部分。我们描述了来自七个发展活动的实施情况和经验教训：（a）文献回顾，（b）对全国其他培训计划的调查，（c）家访员和主管人员的焦点小组，（d）与个别家访员的咨询，（e）创建一个由家访服务提供者和利益相关者组成的州咨询委员会，（f）对两个试点培训的评估，以及（g）视频开发。然后，我们展示了在试点培训后完成培训证书计划的 49 名家访员和 23 名主管人员的评估数据。家访员和主管人员对培训满意度的评价都很高，报告说与培训主题相关的自我效能感显著提高，并且广泛使用了动机沟通技巧，这些都是培训内容的基础技能。这些和其他有利的结果反映了在理论和基于科学的实践方面取得进展并在整个发展过程中反复让提供者和利益相关者参与的好处。
