Background:
A new paediatric hospital-in-the-home nursing service required evaluation.
Aims:
To determine whether the education and training provided for nursing staff employed in the service was effective.
Methods:
This paper presents the way in which a training evaluation model supported the design and evaluation of a training programme for registered nurses working in an out-of-hospital, home-based nursing service for paediatric patients.
Results:
The Kirkpatrick model provides a framework for evaluating the effectiveness of workforce training for any industry including healthcare (Kirkpatrick, 2009).
Conclusions:
That the Kirkpatrick model is an appropriate framework to evaluate a nursing training programme, but it is imperative to evaluate all levels of the model to be able to ascertain the success of the training and the impact on clinical practice.
