The Dr. LEE Jong-wook (LJW) Fellowship Program aims to enhance the capabilities of healthcare personnel in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs) through comprehensive training and education. This study evaluates the satisfaction and effectiveness of the Health Policy Administrator course within the program, focusing on participants from 2021 to 2023. This study aims to assess the impact of the Dr. LJW Fellowship Program, specifically evaluating participants' satisfaction, knowledge and competency improvement, and the adoption of learned knowledge in the workplace. A mixed- methods study design was adopted, utilizing Kirkpatrick's four-level evaluation framework to assess the program's impact. A total of 39 public health policymakers from 19 LMICs participated in the training course at an affiliated university. The evaluation focused on training satisfaction, knowledge and competency improvement, competence achievement, and the practical adoption of learned knowledge. Descriptive statistics were used to analyze participant characteristics, while paired t-tests were employed to assess knowledge and competency improvement before and after the program. The program demonstrated high levels of participant satisfaction, with an overall satisfaction score of 92.9. Knowledge scores improved significantly, with an average increase of 61%, particularly in health statistics (77% improvement) and healthcare systems (56.3% improvement). Competency achievement was also high, with an average score of 92.5. However, the job adoption of learned knowledge scored lower, with supervisors and coworkers rating it at 70.9 and 72.1, respectively, indicating challenges in translating training into practical workplace applications. The Dr. LJW Fellowship Program effectively enhanced participants' knowledge and competencies in health policy administration. However, the lower scores in job adoption suggest a need for improved follow-up support and practical application strategies to ensure that the training's benefits are fully realized in participants' work environments.
李钟郁博士奖学金计划旨在通过全面的培训和教育，提高低收入和中等收入国家（LMICs）医护人员的能力。本研究评估了该计划中卫生政策管理人员课程的满意度和有效性，重点关注2021年至2023年的参与者。本研究旨在评估李钟郁博士奖学金计划的影响，具体评估参与者的满意度、知识和能力提升，以及所学知识在工作场所的应用情况。采用了混合方法研究设计，利用柯克帕特里克的四级评估框架来评估该计划的影响。共有来自19个低收入和中等收入国家的39名公共卫生政策制定者参加了一所附属大学的培训课程。评估重点是培训满意度、知识和能力提升、能力达成情况以及所学知识的实际应用。描述性统计用于分析参与者特征，而配对t检验用于评估该计划前后的知识和能力提升情况。该计划显示出参与者的高度满意度，总体满意度得分为92.9。知识得分显著提高，平均提高了61%，尤其是在卫生统计（提高了77%）和医疗保健系统（提高了56.3%）方面。能力达成情况也很高，平均得分为92.5。然而，所学知识在工作中的应用得分较低，主管和同事分别将其评为70.9和72.1，这表明在将培训转化为实际工作场所应用方面存在挑战。李钟郁博士奖学金计划有效地提高了参与者在卫生政策管理方面的知识和能力。然而，工作应用得分较低表明需要改进后续支持和实际应用策略，以确保培训的益处能够在参与者的工作环境中充分实现。
