Summary
A positive transfer climate, crucial for learning in health sciences education, is defined by strong relationships and support systems. Enhancing this climate improves student performance and healthcare workforce quality.
Area of Science:
- Health Sciences Education
- Workplace Learning
- Organizational Psychology
Background:
- Transfer of learning is complex and influenced by the learning environment.
- Existing research on transfer climate is primarily from human resource development, with limited application to health sciences.
- There is a lack of standardized definitions and measurement tools for transfer climate.
Purpose of the Study:
- To define and describe the concept of transfer climate within health sciences education.
- To identify the antecedents, attributes, and consequences of a positive transfer climate.
- To propose a conceptual definition for transfer climate in this context.
Main Methods:
- Rodgers' evolutionary concept analysis approach was employed.
- A comprehensive literature search was conducted across 15 databases using a Boolean search string.
- Data from 156 selected articles were charted and thematically analyzed.
Main Results:
- Key antecedents include interpersonal relationships and theory-practice correlation.
- Attributes of a positive transfer climate include student support, training, student/facilitator characteristics, and resources.
- Transfer climate positively influences student, educational, and organizational performance.
Conclusions:
- A conceptual definition of transfer climate was established.
- Synergy between health services and educational institutions is vital for developing competent healthcare professionals.
- Modifiable elements of transfer climate can enhance clinical training and support students in placements.

Health is a condition of the body, mind, and spirit where an individual remains free from illness. Similarly, wellness is an active state, including living a lifestyle that promotes physical, mental, and emotional health. Physical health is critical for the overall well-being and can be affected by lifestyle, activity level, diet, and behavior. The highest attainable standard of health is a fundamental and universal human right. Consider Lisa, a fifteen-year-old born with congenital...

The person's health status fluctuates continually, varying from being in good health to becoming ill and returning to being healthy. To understand the concept of illness prevention, there are two models. First, the health-illness continuum model is a graphic representation of an individual's wellness. It states that a person is considered healthy in the absence of physical disease and the presence of good emotional health.

Health literacy is an individual's or a community's capacity to comprehend, receive, read, and use relevant healthcare information and services. The World Health Organization (WHO, 2018) defines health literacy as the cognitive and social skills that determine the ability of individuals to gain access to, understand, and use information in ways that promote and maintain good health. As a result, the WHO helps individuals manage long-term health concerns, participate in preventative...
