Pilot Evaluation of Early Childhood Health Promotion Training for Primary Health Professionals in Australia
Issue Addressed
This study evaluated the feasibility, acceptability and effectiveness of an online continuing professional development (CPD) program for primary health professionals (PHPs) regarding early childhood nutrition and associated health behaviours.
Methods
An action research approach was used. Process evaluation included webinar observation to identify behaviour change and adult learning techniques used and post-webinar acceptability surveys. Impact evaluation examined changes in knowledge, attitudes, practices and self-efficacy using online surveys before and 1 month following webinars. Interviews with PHPs and facilitators informed process and impact evaluation.
Results
Thirty-six webinars were delivered from 2022–24, 1246 PHPs registered, and 463 attended live. Facilitation style reflected adult learning principles and incorporated behaviour change techniques targeting knowledge and skill improvement. Facilitators and attendees valued the national scope of the program but highlighted challenges achieving national reach and meeting the needs of a broad audience. Over 90% of attendees provided positive feedback in acceptability surveys; this was reflected in qualitative feedback: attendees enjoyed the practical, interactive content and opportunity to review program material. There was low uptake of effectiveness surveys. In qualitative interviews, PHPs reported intent to change practice; however, the extent of implementation of program content into clinical practice varied.
Conclusions
CPD regarding early childhood health promotion and obesity prevention was well received by PHPs. Future programs should consider incorporating comprehensive impact evaluation.
So What?
Findings should inform future program design, including the need for interactive and practical education. Reach and sustainability of future programs may be enhanced through integration into existing education services for PHPs.
期刊介绍：
The purpose of the Health Promotion Journal of Australia is to facilitate communication between researchers, practitioners, and policymakers involved in health promotion activities. Preference for publication is given to practical examples of policies, theories, strategies and programs which utilise educational, organisational, economic and/or environmental approaches to health promotion. The journal also publishes brief reports discussing programs, professional viewpoints, and guidelines for practice or evaluation methodology. The journal features articles, brief reports, editorials, perspectives, "of interest", viewpoints, book reviews and letters.
