Competency-based education that relies on nurses' and healthcare professionals' needs assessment is crucial to tackling healthcare crises such as COVID-19. Strengthening the capacities of human resources by implementing customized infection control training programs is therefore mandatory. This study aims to measure the effectiveness and satisfaction of the Competency Outcomes and Performance Assessment (COPA)-based training program. The study implemented a single group pretest-posttest experimental design. A single-stage cluster sampling technique was used. All field hospitals in Jordan were listed, and one hospital was randomly selected. A total of 87 personnel from different disciplines agreed to participate after reading the letter of information and signing the informed consent. A panel of experts representing different disciplines and hospital units initially met and agreed upon a list of competencies required for the training program, and the program was accordingly developed. The study measured the healthcare professionals' competencies in infection control and prevention before and after the administration of the competency-based training program. The results revealed significant differences between participants' pretest and posttest scores in all infection control domains and the total scores. For example, the increase in participants' total competency scores after the training was statistically significant ( < 0.007). The mean total satisfaction score was 61.18 + 7.00 reflecting that the participants were highly satisfied with the provided training. In conclusion, it is imperative to provide healthcare professionals with adequate clinical training to ensure that healthcare services are going to be delivered in the highest possible quality and minimize the possible adverse events.
基于能力的教育依赖于护士和医疗保健专业人员的需求评估,对于应对诸如COVID-19等医疗危机至关重要。因此,通过实施定制的感染控制培训计划来加强人力资源能力是必不可少的。本研究旨在衡量基于能力结果与绩效评估(COPA)的培训计划的有效性和满意度。该研究采用单组前后测实验设计。使用了单阶段整群抽样技术。列出了约旦所有的野战医院,并随机选择了一家医院。共有87名来自不同学科的人员在阅读信息信并签署知情同意书后同意参与。一个由代表不同学科和医院科室的专家组成的小组最初会面并就培训计划所需的能力清单达成一致,培训计划据此制定。该研究在实施基于能力的培训计划前后测量了医疗保健专业人员在感染控制和预防方面的能力。结果显示,在所有感染控制领域和总分方面,参与者的前测和后测分数存在显著差异。例如,培训后参与者的总能力得分增加具有统计学意义(<0.007)。平均总满意度得分为61.18 + 7.00,这表明参与者对所提供的培训非常满意。总之,必须为医疗保健专业人员提供充分的临床培训,以确保医疗服务能够以尽可能高的质量提供,并将可能的不良事件降至最低。
