Training evaluation for nurses and midwives using the Kirkpatrick model

Abstract

Evaluation of training implementation is a form of evaluation of training that has been carried out as a basis for further training development. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the implementation of training for nurses and midwives. This study used a qualitative study design by adopting the Kirkpatrick evaluation model. The sampling technique used purposive sampling. The stages of data analysis were carried out by content analysis using thematic coding, analytical induction, and technical concept mapping. A total of 12 people were involved in this study with 75% nurses and 25% midwives. The results of the FGDs and interviews found that the expected form of training was mixed training, learning media that supported time and place flexibility, evaluation of results based on significant pretest and posttest scores, no visible changes in behavior, and training provided increased knowledge, attitudes, and skills. The implementation of training planning is a systematic process starting from implementation and evaluation. Evaluation of training implementation using the Kirkpatrick model can be the basis for improving training delivery such as the form of training, training venues, training time, meeting learning needs.
