Module development and its effectiveness for improving the competencies of voluntary health workers in communicating safe complementary feeding to caregivers in Indonesia.
Introduction: In Indonesia, most training modules for health paraprofessionals have been adapted from existing foreign modules without assessment. In addition, there have been few studies on training development for this group. We aimed to develop, using a systematic tool, implement and evaluate a t...

In addition, there have been few studies on training development for this group. We aimed to develop, using a systematic tool, implement and evaluate a training module to improve the competencies of voluntary health workers (cadres) in communicating safe complementary feeding practice to caregivers of young children in Indonesia. Methods: A mixed methods approach was used. A qualitative study employing in-depth interviews, focus group discussions, mini-workshops, documentary reviews and expert validation was used to develop the training module, following a systematic approach. The module's effectiveness for improving the health workers' competencies was evaluated using a quantitative study with a non-equivalent pre-test and post-test control group design that included 70 (intervention group) and 68 (comparison group) voluntary health workers from a peri-urban district. Changes in the workers' cognitive, affective and psychomotor competencies were tested before and after attending a 3-day training module (intervention group) or a half-day event (comparison group). Results: A 24-hour learning session module on communicating safe complementary feeding was developed and used to train voluntary health workers. After the training, a significantly higher proportion of workers in the intervention group than in the comparison group were assessed as competent in the psychomotor and composite domains (psychomotor: 67.1% vs. 20.6%; composite: 74.3% vs. 36.8%; p<0.001). Conclusion: This systematically developed module was effective in improving the competencies of voluntary health workers regarding communicating safe complementary feeding practice to caregivers in Indonesia. pubtype: Academic Journal doctype: research tables/charts Journal Article ougenre: Article language: English refInfo: holdings: @attributes: islocal: N |
