Background Australia’s mental health care system has long been fragmented and under-resourced, with services falling well short of demand. In response, the World Economic Forum has recently called for the rapid deployment of smarter, digitally enhanced health services to facilitate effective care coordination and address issues of demand. The University of Sydney’s Brain and Mind Centre (BMC) has developed an innovative digital health solution that incorporates 2 components: a highly personalized and measurement-based (data-driven) model of youth mental health care and a health information technology (HIT) registered on the Australian Register of Therapeutic Goods. Importantly, research into implementation of such solutions considers education and training of clinicians to be essential to adoption and optimization of use in standard clinical practice. The BMC’s Youth Mental Health and Technology Program has subsequently developed a comprehensive education and training program to accompany implementation of the digital health solution. Objective This paper describes the protocol for an evaluation study to assess the effectiveness of the education and training program on the adoption and optimization of use of the digital health solution in service delivery. It also describes the proposed tools to assess the impact of training on knowledge and skills of mental health clinicians. Methods The evaluation study will use the Kirkpatrick Evaluation Model as a framework with 4 levels of analysis: Reaction (to education and training), Learning (knowledge acquired), Behavior (practice change), and Results (client outcomes). Quantitative and qualitative data will be collected using a variety of tools, including evaluation forms, pre- and postknowledge questionnaires, skill development and behavior change scales, as well as a real-time clinical practice audit. Results This project is funded by philanthropic funding from Future Generation Global. Ethics approval has been granted via Sydney Local Health District’s Human Research Ethics Committee. At the time of this publication, clinicians and their services were being recruited to this study. The first results are expected to be submitted for publication in 2021. Conclusions The education and training program teaches clinicians the necessary knowledge and skills to assess, monitor, and manage complex needs; mood and psychotic syndromes; and trajectories of youth mental ill-health using a HIT that facilitates a highly personalized and measurement-based model of care. The digital health solution may therefore guide clinicians to help young people recover low functioning associated with subthreshold diagnostic presentations and prevent progression to more serious mental ill-health.

Increased work complexity and financial strain in the health care sector have led to higher demands on staff to handle ethical issues. These demands can elicit stress reactions, that is, moral distress. One way to support professionals in handling ethical dilemmas is education and training in ethics. This article reports on a controlled prospective study evaluating a structured education and training program in ethics concerning its effects on moral distress. The results show that the participants were positive about the training program. Moral distress did not change significantly. This could be interpreted as competence development, with no effects on moral distress. Alternatively, the result could be attributed to shortcomings of the training program, or that it was too short, or it could be due to the evaluation instrument used. Organizational factors such as management involvement are also crucial. There is a need to design and evaluate ethics competence programs concerning their efficacy.

One of the problems in implementing this education and training program is applying coaching method. Ineffective Coaching method can cause participants to be less motivated and the training output is not optimal. There are many methods of coaching, but what methods are most effective and efficient to apply in this Grade-IV leadership management education and training program? Study on the impact of Coaching methods for effective learning on participants in Education and Training Program on Grade-IV Leadership Management batch II and III year 2018 at the Human Resource Development Center for Apparatus, Ministry of Energy and Mineral Resources (MEMR), was conducted by using a qualitative approach. The discussion in this study is focused on what the effect of several Coaching methods for participants of Education and Training Program on grade-IV Leadership Management. Results show that Coaching is done through stimulation, powerful questions, and creative dialogue so that participants get the best achievement as expected. ABSTRAKPeraturan Kepala Lembaga Administrasi Negara (LAN) Nomor 13 Tahun 2013 yang telah diubah dengan Peraturan Kepala LAN Nomor 20 Tahun 2015 tentang Pedoman Penyelenggaraan Pendidikan dan Pelatihan (diklat) Kepemimpinan Tingkat IV mengamanatkan pelaksanaan metode pembelajaran selain dari pengajaran mata diklat dalam kelas, berupa: pembimbingan (coaching dan mentoring) dan konseling. Salah satu permasalahan dalam penyelenggaraan Diklat Kepemimpinan Tingkat IV adalah sejauh mana penerapan metode Coaching itu sendiri. Metode Coaching yang kurang efektif dapat menyebabkan peserta didik menjadi kurang termotivasi sehingga output diklat tidak optimal. Ada banyak sekali metode coaching, namun metode seperti apakah yang paling efektif dan efisien untuk digunakan dalam Diklatpim Tingkat IV ini? Penelitian tentang pengaruh metode coaching terhadap Peserta Diklat Kepemimpinan Tingkat IV Angkatan II dan III di Pusat Pengembangan Sumber Daya Manusia Aparatur, Kementerian Energi dan Sumber Daya Mineral (KESDM), dilaksanakan dengan menggunakan pendekatan kuantitatif deskriptif (campuran). Penelitian ini difokuskan pada pengaruh penerapan beberapa metode coaching terhadap peserta Diklat Kepemimpinan Tingkat IV. Hasil pene- litian menunjukkan bahwa metode coaching yang dilakukan melalui stimulasi, pertanyaan powerful, dan dialog kreatif mengarahkan peserta didik memperoleh prestasi terbaik seperti yang diharapkan.
