Knowledge Item: CA-Training Impact: Provider Practices and Patient Care-02
Correlations Among Effectiveness Ratings

In a cross-cutting telephone study of 218 service providers who were interviewed an average of eight months after HIV/AIDS training, training effectiveness ratings were positively associated across content domains covered by the interview items.

Stronger, positive relations emerged within domains with the same general focus, such as Patient Care areas (providing services, informing others, referral patterns) and System Functioning areas (service delivery, education of others, collaborations, large-scale change). Smaller associations were observed between how the training affected perceptions of HIV and how the training affected areas of Patient Care and System Change.

While these relations were stronger within content domains, these data showed that each interview question tapped a slightly different aspect of trainee experience in providing patient care and in observing system change.
