Mobile phones help move training programmes out of the classroom and into community settings where CHWs live and work. This chapter examines what happens to ‘learning’ when training becomes ‘mobile’. To explore this, an analysis of a three-year intervention to train 90 Kenyan CHWs is drawn from science and technology studies (STS). It is argued that when a mobile learning application is deployed in an informal urban settlement and an isolated rural village, its movement makes it available for many more uses than is originally envisioned. These varied uses subject the CHWs to multiple definitions of what it means to learn and conflicting visions of how learning leads to social change. The chapter ends with a discussion of how power circulates through global health policies, mobile devices, CHWs, and the material conditions of extreme poverty to generate controversies over what knowledge matters most for health worker training programmes, and for the broader aims of international development.
移动电话有助于将培训项目从教室转移到卫生工作者生活和工作的社区环境中。本章探讨当培训变成“移动”时,“学习”会发生什么。为了探索这一点,从科学和技术研究(STS)中提取了对培训90名肯尼亚卫生工作者的为期三年的干预措施的分析。有人认为,当移动学习应用程序部署在非正式的城市住区和孤立的农村时,它的移动使其具有比最初设想的更多的用途。这些不同的用途使chw受到对学习含义的多种定义和对学习如何导致社会变革的相互矛盾的看法的影响。本章最后讨论了权力如何通过全球卫生政策、移动设备、卫生保健中心和极端贫困的物质条件进行循环,从而引发了关于哪些知识对卫生工作者培训计划以及对国际发展的更广泛目标最重要的争议。

Technology-enhanced learning (TEL) is well established as a teaching modality. However, there is a lack of evidence for the pedagogical approaches used to design TEL for community health workers (CHWs). This chapter highlights the importance of contextualizing CHW learning within the wider health system. Theoretical approaches to consider when designing a TEL-based education and training programme for CHWs are presented, with practical examples of how these approaches might be most appropriately embedded in the delivery of CHW training. Finally, a framework for the design of pedagogically-grounded TEL-based learning for CHWs is presented, which may be used to help guide the design of TEL-based educational interventions for CHWs.
技术强化学习(TEL)作为一种教学模式已经确立。然而,缺乏用于为社区卫生工作者(CHWs)设计TEL的教学方法的证据。本章强调了在更广泛的卫生系统中将卫生保健学习置于情境中的重要性。本文介绍了为卫生保健工作者设计以电话为基础的教育和培训计划时应考虑的理论方法,并举例说明如何将这些方法最适当地融入到卫生保健工作者的培训中。最后,本文提出了一种基于教学基础的教育教学框架,该框架可用于指导基于教育基础的教育干预措施的设计。

Community health workers (CHWs) are a key human resource for health, particularly in low and middle-income countries. Participatory training approaches for CHWs are increasingly important as they actively engage participants, facilitate shared learning, and are more responsive to the needs of the learners. In addition, participatory training methods build teamwork and confidence, enhance critical thinking, and are interesting to learners. This chapter presents different participatory training methods for CHWs, including role-plays, demonstrations, songs, small and large group discussions, brainstorming, debates, simulations, exercises, field trips, gallery walks, class presentations, practicals, case studies, and interactive exercises. The relative advantages and disadvantages of each method are also presented. Despite the strengths and weaknesses of each of the methods, it is important that the local context is always considered while selecting which ones to be used in a CHW training programme.
社区卫生工作者是卫生工作的关键人力资源,特别是在低收入和中等收入国家。参与式培训方法对卫生保健工作者越来越重要,因为它们积极吸引参与者,促进共享学习,并更能满足学习者的需求。此外,参与式培训方法建立团队合作和信心,增强批判性思维,对学习者来说是有趣的。本章介绍了不同的参与式培训方法,包括角色扮演、示范、歌曲、小型和大型小组讨论、头脑风暴、辩论、模拟、练习、实地考察、画廊漫步、课堂演讲、实践、案例研究和互动练习。并介绍了每种方法的优缺点。尽管每种方法各有优缺点,但在选择将哪些方法用于CHW培训计划时,始终考虑当地情况是很重要的。

This chapter outlines how taking a more systematic approach to developing responsive evidence bases that can inform research, policy, and practice on community health worker (CHW) training in low and middle-income countries (LMICs) supports the provision of more effective and equitable CHW programmes. It also explores methodologies and tools to develop such evidence bases and how these can and have been used to inform decision-making. We argue that by focusing on single primary studies rather than the combined body of evidence, research and practice on the training of CHWs in LMICs is overlooking systemic patterns in the evidence base. Decisions on which types of training programmes to implement in LMICs are often based on single evaluations of programmes conducted out of context or informed by general principles for workplace-based learning. Better matching research and practice needs with the available evidence base will facilitate a more effective translation of knowledge on the training of CHWs into practice and policy decisions.
本章概述了如何采取更系统的方法来开发响应性证据基础,为低收入和中等收入国家社区卫生工作者(CHW)培训的研究、政策和实践提供信息,从而支持提供更有效和公平的CHW规划。它还探讨了开发这种证据基础的方法和工具,以及如何能够和已经利用这些方法和工具为决策提供信息。我们认为,通过关注单一的主要研究而不是综合证据,中低收入国家卫生保健员培训的研究和实践忽视了证据基础中的系统模式。关于在低收入和中等收入国家实施哪种培训方案的决定,往往是基于对脱离背景进行的方案的单一评估,或根据工作场所学习的一般原则作出的。更好地将研究和实践需要与现有的证据基础相匹配,将有助于更有效地将有关卫生工作者培训的知识转化为实践和政策决定。

Digital Health Interventions for Community Health Worker Training, Ongoing Education, and Supportive Supervision 社区卫生工作者培训、持续教育和支持性监督的数字健康干预措施
Pub Date : 2021-07-06 DOI: 10.1093/oso/9780198866244.003.0005

According to the World Health Organization’s No Health Without a Workforce report, the global shortage of community health workers (CHWs) is expected to reach 12.9 million by 2035. This shortfall raises pressing questions about how CHWs are recruited, trained, and supported as front-line care providers. Lay people become CHWs in a variety of ways; they might be chosen by a non-governmental organization or a government programme, elected by community members, or simply volunteer themselves at the right time and place. After recruitment, CHWs typically undergo training, and the scope and quality of this training can vary enormously. Often, limited funds are stretched to conduct trainings in person at facilities that may or may not be readily accessible for health workers, and refresher trainings are often cut in times of budget shortfall. While there may be no simple solution to these challenges, many now look to the use of digital technologies as a promising opportunity. Digital health interventions have come to play a growing role in healthcare in the last decade, yet the uses of technology for training, ongoing education, and supportive supervision remain understudied in lower-income settings. In this chapter, we examine a case study of digital health interventions in Nepal. We examine matters of baseline literacy and access to technology, the interweaving of technology and health system design issues, and prospects for integrating digital and face-to-face education and support. While the role of technology is easily overstated, we nonetheless argue that new digital workflows can address real implementation challenges if designed in a human-centred manner.
根据世界卫生组织的《没有劳动力就没有健康》报告,到2035年,全球社区卫生工作者(chw)的短缺预计将达到1290万。这一短缺提出了一个紧迫的问题,即如何招募、培训和支持卫生保健员作为一线护理提供者。俗人以各种方式成为chw;他们可以由非政府组织或政府方案选出,由社区成员选出,或者干脆在适当的时间和地点自愿担任。卫生保健员在入职后通常会接受培训,培训的范围和质量参差不齐。通常,有限的资金被用于在卫生工作者可能或不可能容易获得的设施进行亲自培训,并且在预算短缺时经常削减进修培训。虽然这些挑战可能没有简单的解决方案,但许多人现在将数字技术的使用视为一个有希望的机会。在过去十年中,数字健康干预措施在医疗保健中发挥着越来越大的作用,但在低收入环境中,技术用于培训、持续教育和支持性监督的研究仍然不足。在本章中,我们研究了尼泊尔数字卫生干预措施的案例研究。我们研究了基本识字和获取技术、技术与卫生系统设计问题的交织以及整合数字和面对面教育和支持的前景等问题。虽然技术的作用很容易被夸大,但我们仍然认为,如果以人为中心的方式设计,新的数字工作流程可以解决真正的实施挑战。

This chapter considers the theory and practice of the evaluation of CHW training. It aims to provide guidance on how to conduct evaluations, focusing on evaluations seeking a quantitative measure of effectiveness. The authors highlight the usefulness of ‘thinking through’ how the training is expected to work by developing a logic model. They then show how the model can be used to help design an appropriate evaluation. In addition, potential study designs and ‘end points’ or outcomes to be measured are discussed. However, the authors emphasize, that these elements need to be considered concurrently, because the appropriateness of the study design depends, in part, on the primary outcome measure for the evaluation. The chapter concludes by describing the benefits of mixed methods research and a number of other considerations when designing, implementing, and writing up the important task of evaluating CHW training.
本章主要从理论和实践两个方面探讨了培训评价的问题。它的目的是为如何进行评价提供指导,重点是寻求有效性的定量衡量的评价。作者强调了通过开发逻辑模型来“思考”训练如何工作的有用性。然后,他们展示了如何使用该模型来帮助设计适当的评估。此外,还讨论了潜在的研究设计和“终点”或测量结果。然而,作者强调,这些因素需要同时考虑,因为研究设计的适当性部分取决于评估的主要结果测量。本章最后描述了混合方法研究的好处,以及在设计、实施和撰写评估CHW训练的重要任务时需要考虑的一些其他问题。

Learning How Not to Train the Community Out of the Community Health Workers 学习如何不培训社区卫生工作者

Community health workers (CHW) are often trained through a series of initial classes followed by continuing education opportunities. While this classic structure is invaluable for ensuring that the CHW has access to the right knowledge so that they can develop the right skills and attitudes to do their job, this chapter argues that this is insufficient. An equally as important and influential determinant of how the CHW will work will be the quality of the job and the quality of the health system to which they contribute. This is part of the ‘hidden curriculum’, and it is too often underappreciated when planning to train CHWs. CHWs are often seen as a cheaper solution to help meet the human resources for health crisis, but this chapter argues that if they are only given medical tasks, and if their role is medicalized to the point of removing them from how their communities function, then health systems will lose access to important opportunities to improve quality and healthcare outcomes.
社区卫生工作者通常通过一系列初级课程接受培训,然后有继续教育的机会。虽然这种经典结构对于确保CHW获得正确的知识,从而培养正确的技能和态度来完成他们的工作是非常宝贵的,但本章认为这是不够的。决定卫生保健员如何工作的一个同样重要和有影响力的决定因素是他们所贡献的工作质量和卫生系统的质量。这是“隐性课程”的一部分,在计划培训卫生工作者时,它往往被低估。卫生保健员通常被视为帮助解决卫生危机的人力资源的廉价解决方案,但本章认为,如果他们只被赋予医疗任务,如果他们的角色被医疗化到将他们从社区功能中移除的程度,那么卫生系统将失去提高质量和卫生保健结果的重要机会。

Community health workers (CHWs) often represent the first point of contact for many individuals in low-income countries accessing health services. Unfortunately, due to the low quality of care, outcomes for many people are unpredictable. Although the causes for poor quality of care are multifaceted, one obvious cause is that many CHWs are undertrained. Given the scope of the problem and the lack of resources available to solve it, governments and donor organizations are looking at digital technologies to help address problems such as access to services, health worker training, and decision-making. Access to and understanding of educational content can be improved by combining classroom education with distance learning to create a blended learning approach. Furthermore, by integrating the educational experience offered to CHWs through technology with related support services such as data collection, logistics management and AI-based decision support, governments can compensate for the quality of care gap.
社区卫生工作者往往是低收入国家许多个人获得卫生服务的第一个接触点。不幸的是,由于护理质量低,许多人的结果是不可预测的。虽然造成护理质量差的原因是多方面的,但一个明显的原因是许多卫生保健员缺乏培训。鉴于这一问题的范围之广以及缺乏可用资源来解决这一问题,各国政府和捐助组织正在考虑利用数字技术来帮助解决诸如获得服务、卫生工作者培训和决策等问题。通过将课堂教育与远程学习相结合,创造一种混合式学习方法,可以改善对教育内容的获取和理解。此外,通过技术将向卫生工作者提供的教育经验与相关支持服务(如数据收集、物流管理和基于人工智能的决策支持)相结合,政府可以弥补护理质量差距。

Training and supervision are core to the development of an effective CHW programme and have been recognized as so for many years. Their development and framing are important to understand from a historical perspective as this has ultimately helped to shape current approaches in the field. However, current CHWs face many related challenges, including determining their key benefits, whom they serve, and the mechanisms by which these benefits occur. This chapter directly addresses these issues by highlighting some of the key opportunities that could play a role in helping overcome some of these challenges, such as the role of mobile technologies. It is a starting point for developing the foundations for beginning to understand the complexities of this fragmented, contested, and important field of study and practice.
培训和监督是制定有效的卫生保健计划的核心,多年来一直得到认可。从历史的角度理解它们的发展和框架是很重要的,因为这最终有助于塑造该领域的当前方法。然而,目前的卫生工作者面临着许多相关的挑战,包括确定他们的主要利益,他们为谁服务,以及这些利益发生的机制。本章通过强调一些关键机会来直接解决这些问题,这些机会可以在帮助克服这些挑战方面发挥作用,例如移动技术的作用。它是一个起点,为开始理解这一支离破碎、有争议且重要的研究和实践领域的复杂性奠定基础。

It is increasingly recognized internationally that community health workers need to be experts in mediating between health facilities and the health needs of their particular communities, requiring interpersonal skills to balance the ethical, medical or physiological health issues, and the community dynamics. For this relational expertise to flourish, a culture of recognition, mutual respect, and support is essential between the community health workers, other health professionals, and the community. A relational pedagogy for training and supervision is outlined to address some key ethical values: mutual respect and recognition; shared decision-making and solidarity; relational agency and empowerment; fairness and inclusion; and shared advocacy. We argue that explicitly putting these values foremost in supervision, training and practice will equip community health workers with appropriate strategies to develop and sustain their unique and valued expertise.
国际上日益认识到,社区卫生工作者需要成为在卫生设施和其特定社区的卫生需要之间进行调解的专家,需要人际交往技巧来平衡伦理、医疗或生理健康问题以及社区动态。要使这种关系专业知识蓬勃发展,社区卫生工作者、其他卫生专业人员和社区之间必须有一种相互承认、相互尊重和支持的文化。概述了培训和监督的关系教学法,以解决一些关键的道德价值观:相互尊重和承认;共同决策和团结;关系代理和授权;公平和包容;共同倡导。我们认为,明确地将这些价值观放在监督、培训和实践的首位,将使社区卫生工作者具备适当的战略,以发展和维持他们独特而有价值的专业知识。
