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.

The growth of construction industry in Malaysia is stimulated by various mega infrastructure projects. Due to this, the competent construction workers become the catalyst in realizing the goals. Using mixed method approach in explanatory research, this study aimed to analyze the training needs based on 300 Indonesian construction workers’ competency. Findings showed that there are significant differences between knowledge and skills possessed by the Indonesian workers, based on two types of training; theory and practical. However, the training on skills is considered critical as it is a need for the Indonesian workers to fulfil the job requirements in Malaysia.

Abstract BackgroundDelivery of quality reproductive health services has been documented to depend on the availability of healthcare workers who are adequately supported with appropriate training. However, unmet training needs among healthcare workers in reproductive, maternal, and newborn health (RMNH) in low-income countries remain disproportionately high. This study investigated the effectiveness of trainings with onsite clinical mentorship towards perceived importance and performance in RMNH among healthcare workers in Mwanza Region of Tanzania.MethodsThe study used a quasi-experimental design using single group pre-and post-intervention evaluation strategy. The training needs of healthcare workers from the selected health facilities were assessed, skills gaps identified and ranked according to priority. Training courses that addressed skills gaps were developed and delivered with adaptations of the national guidelines followed by onsite clinical mentorship for one year. The baseline and endline survey were conducted at 3 years interval to assess change in HCWs on their perceived importance and performance on different aspects of RMNH care. Independent samples t-tests were used to compare differences in perceived performance in selected training areas between baseline and endline. Significance was set at p < 0.05.ResultsTNA was administered to 152 and 216 healthcare workers at baseline and endline respectively. In total, 141 (65%) of the 216 end line survey participants had received at least one IMPACT project training course and at least three mentorship visits. Participants were matched on their age and duration in RMNH services, but differed in age and duration of employment. Comparison between baseline and endline by using the training needs analysis questionnaire scores showed statistically significant positive changes (p ≤ .05) in most training needs analysis items, except for some items including those related to research capacity and provision of health education for cancer.ConclusionsThe findings revealed that the training and onsite clinical mentorship program that address the actual needs of healthcare workers to have significant positive changes in perceived performance in a wide range of RMNH services. However, further studies with rigorous designs are warranted to evaluate the long-term effect of such training programs on RMNH outcomes.

Unique Context

Western State Electricity Regulatory Commission (WSERC) a Government Regulatory Firm in India needed to enhance its human resource capabilities. It was grappling with employees who were either on contract or deputation, and were essentially temporary in nature. The younger staff was lacking in both technical and managerial skills and could not contribute to the organization’s functioning. The senior staff appeared unwilling to transfer their knowledge to the junior staff. In addition, there were various people-related challenges in terms of differences in working styles, hierarchical culture of the firm, conflict across levels and functions and preference to operate in silos. It was decided to address the people related challenges through training to create a climate of trust and sharing before initiating a mentoring intervention. It was decided to undertake customized training to address the unique context and challenges being faced by the firm; therefore, a training needs analysis (TNA) was carried out. Various tools such as the TNA questionnaire, visioning exercise, personal interviews and focused group discussions (FGD) were used to gather data to identify specific training needs of the firm. The case focuses on the process of initiating a TNA in a small firm and some of the associated challenges.
