<p>The study aimed to find out the level of competence and training needs of Barangay Health Workers (BHW) of Davao City. The study utilized the descriptive-correlation and comparative research designs involving 270 BHWs and 15 BHW district presidents, conveniently selected as respondents of the study. A Visayan-translated questionnaire was constructed and tested for reliability for easy understanding by the respondents. The study revealed that majority of the respondents are middle-age adults, female, married, Roman Catholic, high school graduates, had 6-10 years of service as BHW and are city-paid. They are fairly competent on the different areas for training and development in terms of knowledge, skills and attitudes. The respondents identified all areas for training and development as “highly needed” wherein, the healthcare of children in terms of nutrition is rated the highest. On both the level of competence and training needs urgency of the respondents, there is no significant association on their demographic profile. Furthermore, there is no significant relationship between the training needs urgency and the level of competence of the respondents. Finally, District 9 was found to be consistently “not competent” in all areas of competency while District 12 was found to be “not competent” only in the areas of Skills and Attitude. Although the rest of the districts were found to be fairly and moderately competent, training is still needed in all districts.</p><p><strong>Keywords: </strong>Health, training needs analysis, Barangay Health Workers, descriptivecorrelation and comparative, Davao City, Philippines</p><div> </div>

Abstract Background Continuous professional development (CPD) has been reported to enhance healthcare workers’ knowledge and skills, improve retention and recruitment, improve the quality of patient care, and reduce patient mortality. Therefore, validated training needs assessment tools are important to facilitate the design of effective CPD programs. Methods A cross-sectional survey was conducted using self-administered questionnaires. Participants were healthcare workers in reproductive, maternal, and neonatal health (RMNH) from seven hospitals, 12 health centers, and 17 dispensaries in eight districts of Mwanza Region, Tanzania. The training needs analysis (TNA) tool that was used for data collection was adapted and translated into Kiswahili from English version of the Hennessy-Hicks’ Training Need Analysis Questionnaire (TNAQ). Results In total, 153 healthcare workers participated in this study. Most participants were female 83 % (n = 127), and 76 % (n = 115) were nurses. The average age was 39 years, and the mean duration working in RMNH was 7.9 years. The reliability of the adapted TNAQ was 0.954. Assessment of construct validity indicated that the comparative fit index was equal to 1. Conclusions The adapted TNAQ appears to be reliable and valid for identifying professional training needs among healthcare workers in RMNH settings in Mwanza Region, Tanzania. Further studies with larger sample sizes are needed to test the use of the TNAQ in broader healthcare systems and settings.

South African society is a complex mix of first- and third-world components. Urgent socio-economic and political problems must be addressed to avoid chaos. Sport may be a key factor in bringing about change. Sport training strategies should form an integral part of affirmative action and sport development programs in South Africa. The overall aim of this research was to develop a structured scientific approach to the training and development of human resources in South African sport. The research was conducted in four phases over a 2-year period. The aims of the respective phases were to determine the current standard and scope of sport management in black developing townships, to compile a profile of competencies and training needs of sport managers, to develop an in-service training model for the aforementioned sport managers, and to design a comprehensive sport development strategy for South African sport. Research methodologies included questionnaires on general and functional managerial variables and training needs, content analysis of job descriptions, and personal interviews. Results revealed an insufficient standard of sport management in developing townships. A competency-based training and development model was proposed and positioned in an overall strategy for sport development in South Africa.

Abstract There is now a relative wealth of Translation Studies literature on translator training, but it often centres on impersonal aspects such as processes, content or activities, and ignores the human factor. There are two sets of participants in the teaching and learning process, both of whom are essential for its success: students or trainees, and teachers or trainers. Other than to bemoan their supposed deficiencies, or to design elaborate entrance filters, little has been said about students. But even less has been said about trainers. In this paper, attention focuses on them. The little that TS literature says about trainer profiles is mostly centred on the need for them to have professional translator competence. This paper takes a broader approach to the issues surrounding translator trainers and their training, setting them firmly within the broader context of higher education teaching as a profession, and attempts to link recently developed professional standards in higher education teaching to our field. This background allows the author to draw up a competence-based profile of the translator trainer and briefly to review which areas of such a profile have been addressed in TS and which are still in need of further work. The paper ends with an overview of the preliminary results of a study currently underway in Spain, designed to carry out detailed training needs analysis for translator trainers.

The Healthy Indonesia Program aims to improve health status through health efforts and equitable health services. The positive side of the success of health development is the increasing life expectancy. But it has a negative impact, namely the increasing incidence of degenerative diseases, one of which is hypertension. Hypertension is often called the "silent killer" because it can appear without symptoms or warning signs, so many do not realize it so that the prevalence of hypertension increases. The breadth of the work area and the lack of health workers, can lead to a lack of public access to health services, so the elderly who have hypertension are less able to control the condition of the disease. Cadres of Non-Communicable Diseases Posyandu (PTM) can be the first line in reaching the community, when health workers are not available. Posyand cadres can also be an extension of their hands in increasing people's knowledge and understanding of hypertension, even cadres can carry out blood pressure checks independently. The purpose of community service is IbM activities for Posyandu cadres of PTM, especially in Kelurahan Bantarsari in the form of counseling about hypertension and training in blood pressure measurement. The population and sample in this service were 24 cadres in Bantarsari village. Data was collected using a questionnaire in the form of questions to find out the knowledge of participants before and after training and a checklist to measure skills. Data analysis using the Paired-Samples T Test. The material used is a blood pressure measuring device, the OMRON brand digital sphygmomanometer using a new battery. The results of this activity are all female cadres, with a age range of 21-45 years. Educational background for cadres is 79.16% of high school graduates and 20.84% ​​of junior high school graduates. The results of the Paired-Samples T Test analysis obtained p value 0,000 which means that there is an influence of counseling and training conducted on cadre knowledge about blood pressure measurement. In conclusion, counseling and training for cadres has a good influence in increasing their knowledge, so it is expected to reduce the incidence of hypertension in their target areas.

ObjectivesHealthcare workers (HCWs) are at the frontline of efforts to treat those affected by COVID-19 and prevent its continued spread. This study seeks to assess knowledge, attitude and practice (KAP) as well as training needs and preferences related to COVID-19 among frontline HCWs in Nigeria.SettingA cross-sectional survey was carried out among 1852 HCWs in primary, secondary and tertiary care settings across Nigeria using a 33-item questionnaire.ParticipantsRespondents included doctors, nurses, pharmacy and clinical laboratory professionals who have direct clinical contact with patients at the various healthcare settings.AnalysisExploratory factor analysis (EFA) was used to establish independent factors related to COVID-19 KAP. Analysis of variance was used to identify any differences in the factors among different categories of HCWs.ResultsEFA identified four factors: safety and prevention (factor 1), practice and knowledge (factor 2), control and mitigation (factor 3) and national perceptions (factor 4). Significant group differences were found on three factors: Factor 1 (F(1,1655)=5.79, p=0.0006), factor 3 (F(1,1633)=12.9, p<0.0.0001) and factor 4 (F(1,1655)=7.31, p<0.0001) with doctors scoring higher on these three factors when compared with nurses, pharmaceutical workers and medical laboratory scientist. The most endorsed training need was how to reorganise the workplace to prevent spread of COVID-19. This was chosen by 61.8% of medical laboratory professionals, 55.6% of doctors, 51.7% of nurses and 51.6% of pharmaceutical health workers. The most preferred modes of training were webinars and conferences.ConclusionThere were substantial differences in KAP regarding the COVID-19 pandemic among various categories of frontline HCWs surveyed. There were also group differences on COVID-19 training needs and preferences. Tailored health education and training aimed at enhancing and updating COVID-19 KAP are needed, particularly among non-physician HCWs.
