    Staff development for laboratory personnel in New York State was minimal in 1978, with over half of surveyed settings lacking key practices. Opportunities for professional growth were rare, impacting job satisfaction and professionalism.

    Area of Science:

    • Medical Laboratory Science
    • Healthcare Administration
    • Human Resources in Healthcare

    Background:

    • Assessing staff development practices is crucial for healthcare personnel.
    • Laboratory personnel professional growth is vital for quality patient care.
    • Understanding current practices informs future training initiatives.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To evaluate current staff development practices for laboratory personnel in New York State.
    • To determine the perceived importance of specific laboratory practices for staff professional growth.
    • To provide research-based recommendations for enhancing staff development programs.

    Main Methods:

    • A statewide mail survey was conducted in 1978.
    • The survey targeted laboratory staff across various healthcare settings in New York State.

  • Data analysis focused on current practices and perceived importance for professional growth.

    • Main Results:

    • Over 50% of surveyed laboratory settings lacked three of six general staff development practices.
    • Opportunities for staff development were infrequent across all laboratory sizes and types.
    • Significant gaps exist in structured professional development for laboratory staff.

    Conclusions:

    • Current staff development practices in New York State laboratories were inadequate in 1978.
    • Limited development opportunities may negatively affect job satisfaction, professionalism, and performance appraisal.
    • Recommendations are needed to improve professional growth and training for laboratory personnel.
