ObjectivesUndertake a systematic scoping review to determine how a research evidence base, in the form of existing systematic reviews in the field of mobile health (mHealth), constitutes education and training for community health workers (CHWs) who use mobile technologies in everyday work. The review was informed by the following research questions: does educational theory inform the design of the education and training component of mHealth interventions? How is education and training with mobile technology by CHWs in low-income and middle-income countries categorised by existing systematic reviews? What is the basis for this categorisation?SettingThe review explored the literature from 2000 to 2017 to investigate how mHealth interventions have been positioned within the available evidence base in relation to their use of formal theories of learning.ResultsThe scoping review found 24 primary studies that were categorised by 16 systematic reviews as supporting CHWs’ education and training using mobile technologies. However, when formal theories of learning from educational research were used to recategorise these 24 primary studies, only four could be coded as such. This identifies a problem with how CHWs’ education and training using mobile technologies is understood and categorised within the existing evidence base. This is because there is no agreed on, theoretically informed understanding of what counts as learning.ConclusionThe claims made by mHealth researchers and practitioners regarding the learning benefits of mobile technology are not based on research results that are underpinned by formal theories of learning. mHealth suffers from a reductionist view of learning that underestimates the complexities of the relationship between pedagogy and technology. This has resulted in miscategorisations of what constitutes CHWs’ education and training within the existing evidence base. This can be overcome by informed collaboration between the health and education communities.

Objective: Implementation of the National Mental Health Strategy has important implications for education and training of the Australian mental health workforce. This paper discusses relevant developments in the United Kingdom that may provide some lessons for Australia. Method: A review was undertaken of a number of specific clinical education and training programs for mental health workers in the United Kingdom which have been subjected to published evaluation. Results and conclusions: A finite mental health resource base dictates that education and training activity should: (i) be evaluated; (ii) target those clients most in need; (iii) include evidence-based approaches such as assertive community treatment, medication management, cognitive—behaviour therapy and family interventions; and (iv) prepare mental health workers in the core competencies needed to implement these approaches. Two programs, developed in the United Kingdom, which meet these criteria are presented as examples of best practice: the nurse therapy model established by Isaac Marks; and the Thorn initiative established in association with the Institute of Psychiatry, London and the University of Manchester.

The World Health Organization (WHO) estimates that 15% - 20% of pregnant women experience complications. If this problem does not receive adequate treatment, pregnancy complications can contribute to maternal mortality, therefore detecting from the beginning the presence of abnormalities, complications, and complications of pregnancy must be carried out proactively by both health workers and the community, one of them by the health cadres. This study aims to determine the relationship between motivation, supervision, education and training on the ability of the health cadres in the promotion of health of pregnant women. The study was conducted on 7 February to 6 May 2016. This research was an explanatory study with quantitative research methods using a cross-sectional approach. The number of samples was 269 active health cadres. The sampling technique is multi-stage cluster random sampling. Independent variables include motivation, supervision, education and training. The dependent variable is the ability of the health cadres to promote the health of pregnant women. Data collection using a questionnaire, data analysis using Path Analysis. Factors related to the ability of the health cadres in the promotion of health promotion for pregnant women include: motivation (b = 0.68, 95% CI = 0.16 to 1.42, p = 0.01); supervision (b = 1.11, CI 95% = 0.58 to 1.65, p = <0.001), education and training (b = 0.88, 95% CI = 0.36 to 1.21, p = <0.001). Factors related with motivation include: supervision (b = 0.61. 95% CI = 0.13 to 1.11, p = 0.01); education and training: (b = -0.04, 95% CI = -0.52 to 0.44, p = 0.86). df = 1; AIC = 707.81; BIC=732.29. There is a relationship between motivation, supervision, education and training with the ability of health cadres to promote the health of pregnant women. Supervision is the most related factor. Supervision is related to motivation, good supervision will increase the motivation of health cadres, while education and training relate to motivation, health cadres with good education and training, reduce motivation in health promotion, but not statistically significant.
