    • Medical Training
    • Continuing Education

    Background:

    • Effective Patient Teaching (EPT) is a continuing education course designed to enhance educators' teaching skills.
    • Dissemination of educational interventions requires assessment of treatment integrity to ensure fidelity to the original design.
    • A train-the-trainers approach is a common method for disseminating educational programs.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To evaluate the treatment integrity of the Effective Patient Teaching (EPT) course when delivered by trainers other than the original developers.
    • To assess the generalizability and transportability of the EPT course through a train-the-trainers dissemination model.

    Main Methods:

    • A train-the-trainers approach was implemented across three test sites.

  • Trainers were instructed on how to deliver the Effective Patient Teaching (EPT) course as intended by its developers.
  • Fidelity of training delivery was assessed at each site.

    • Main Results:

    • Trainers demonstrated good overall fidelity in delivering the Effective Patient Teaching (EPT) course.
    • Fidelity was maintained both within and between the three test sites.
    • The results support the successful transfer of the EPT training program.

    Conclusions:

    • The train-the-trainers approach is an effective method for disseminating the Effective Patient Teaching (EPT) course.
    • The EPT course demonstrates generalizability and transportability across different training sites.
    • This study supports the use of EPT for improving patient teaching skills in healthcare professions.
