Capacity-building initiatives targeting medical personnel in low- and middle-income countries have focused on individual medical professionals within specific disciplines. However, it has become evident that the enhancement of healthcare quality necessitates more than just individual capacity-building efforts. As a part of The National Radiotherapy and Medical Oncology Center Project in Côte d'Ivoire, the National Cancer Center Korea has initiated a training project for hospital personnel in Côte d'Ivoire.
From May to November 2023, 51 hospital personnel from 21 disciplines from Côte d'Ivoire underwent invitation-based training in Korea. A quantitative analysis of the training outcomes for the trainees and a qualitative assessment of the enablers of the training, involving trainees, trainers, and the coordinating team, were conducted.
The average score at pre- and post-training evaluation of capabilities of the trainees increased from 2.3 to 4.0 (out of 5.0). In addition to medical knowledge and technical skills sharing, trainees collaborated in group activities to develop workflow manuals for disease-, discipline-, and department-specific tasks through a multidisciplinary and cross-functional approach. The qualitative assessment indicated the importance of contextually relevant curriculum development with a special focus on establishing hospital operational plans, maintaining trainee autonomy and motivation, building mutual trust and cooperation between partner countries, engaging stakeholders actively, and providing effective leadership and support structures through a dedicated coordinating team were crucial factors for program success.
Effective hospital personnel capacity building programs should not only focus on imparting medical knowledge and technical skills but also actively engage trainees in developing hospital operational plans. Furthermore, ensuring mutual trust and cooperation among various stakeholders, along with the establishment of a dedicated coordinating team, is essential for the success of the program.
针对低收入和中等收入国家医务人员的能力建设举措主要集中在特定学科的个体医疗专业人员身上。然而,越来越明显的是,提高医疗质量需要的不仅仅是个体能力建设努力。作为科特迪瓦国家放疗与医学肿瘤中心项目的一部分,韩国国家癌症中心启动了一项针对科特迪瓦医院人员的培训项目。
2023年5月至11月,来自科特迪瓦21个学科的51名医院人员在韩国接受了受邀培训。对学员的培训成果进行了定量分析,并对培训的促成因素进行了定性评估,涉及学员、培训师和协调团队。
学员能力培训前后评估的平均得分从2.3分提高到了4.0分(满分5.0分)。除了医学知识和技术技能分享外,学员们还通过多学科和跨职能方法合作开展小组活动,为特定疾病、学科和部门的任务制定工作流程手册。定性评估表明,制定与实际情况相关的课程很重要,特别要注重制定医院运营计划、保持学员的自主性和积极性、在伙伴国家之间建立相互信任与合作、积极吸引利益相关者参与,以及通过专门的协调团队提供有效的领导和支持结构,这些都是项目成功的关键因素。
有效的医院人员能力建设项目不仅应专注于传授医学知识和技术技能,还应积极让学员参与制定医院运营计划。此外,确保各利益相关者之间的相互信任与合作,以及建立专门的协调团队,对项目的成功至关重要。
