A problem-based learning program for tuberculosis and leprosy supervisors in Nigeria was effective. It boosted motivation and independent learning, leading to improved fieldwork quality.

Area of Science:

  • Public Health
  • Infectious Diseases
  • Medical Education

Background:

  • Tuberculosis and leprosy remain significant global health challenges.
  • Effective supervision is crucial for controlling infectious diseases like tuberculosis and leprosy.
  • Supervisory training programs require innovative approaches to enhance effectiveness.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate a problem-based learning (PBL) program for tuberculosis and leprosy supervisors in Nigeria.
  • To assess the impact of PBL on supervisor motivation and independent learning.
  • To determine the effect of the PBL program on the quality of subsequent fieldwork.

Main Methods:

  • A problem-based learning program was implemented for supervisors in Nigeria.
  • Participant feedback was collected on the program's stimulating, motivating, and enjoyable aspects.

    • Main Results:

    • The problem-based learning program was perceived as stimulating, motivating, and enjoyable.
    • The program successfully encouraged independent learning among supervisors.
    • Supervisors' subsequent fieldwork quality was rated as average to good.
    • Sustained motivation was observed in the supervisors post-program.

    Conclusions:

    • Problem-based learning is a viable and effective educational strategy for infectious disease supervisors.
    • PBL enhances both the learning experience and practical performance of public health workers.
    • Investing in innovative training like PBL can lead to sustained improvements in disease control efforts.
