To increase knowledge of National Library of Medicine resources by using a train-the-trainer approach.
Workshops were held in spring 2016 to increase knowledge of 4 National Library of Medicine tools. Data were collected before the workshop and immediately, 3 months, and 1 year after the workshop. Knowledge questions were scored as 1 point per question; an aggregated knowledge score could range from 0 to 16 points. A paired t test assessed the change in knowledge from before to after the workshop.
Four workshops were hosted, with a total of 74 attendees. The response rate for the surveys ranged from 50% to 100%. Knowledge scores changed significantly from 7.2 to 11.9 (t = 15, P < .001). One year after the workshop, more of the participants reported having informally trained others (56.8%) than reported providing 1 or more formal training session (8.1%)(P < .001).
Objective measures of knowledge and information dissemination showed that the National Library of Medicine workshop was successful and resulted in both short- and long-term gains. This workshop could be repeated with other populations to further disseminate information regarding the National Library of Medicine tools, which could help improve disaster response.
通过培训师培训方法提高对美国国立医学图书馆资源的了解。
2016 年春季举办了研讨会，以增加对美国国立医学图书馆的 4 种工具的了解。在研讨会之前以及研讨会后 3 个月和 1 年收集数据。知识问题每题得 1 分；知识得分总分可以在 0 到 16 分之间。配对 t 检验评估了从研讨会之前到之后知识的变化。
举办了 4 个研讨会，共有 74 名参加者。调查的回复率从 50%到 100%不等。知识得分从 7.2 分显著提高到 11.9 分（t=15，P<.001）。在研讨会一年后，更多的参与者报告非正式地培训了其他人（56.8%），而报告提供了 1 次或更多次正式培训课程的参与者（8.1%）（P<.001）。
知识和信息传播的客观指标表明，美国国立医学图书馆研讨会是成功的，并且取得了短期和长期的收益。可以对其他人群重复此研讨会，以进一步传播有关美国国立医学图书馆工具的信息，这有助于改善灾害应对。
