Pre-service trainees perceived that increased responsibility would motivate nurses, a factor also noted in other studies [ 22].
More upgrading trainees had chosen nursing as their first career choice (77.7%) compared to pre-service trainees (61.5%).
The latter were older, more likely to be married, to have children, and to have been born in a rural area than pre-service trainees.
The nurses recollected that as in-service trainees, they examined women and reported the findings to senior nurses, who then filled the partograph.
The challenges include limited consultation of stakeholders in curricula development, inadequate framework for monitoring the curricula, inadequacy of funding for the projects, high turnover of in-service trainees [ 11], and the paradigm shift in medical education [ 12].
The introduction of NCD prevention and control modules into courses in local training institutions (32) is availing the training to a wider pre-service trainee population, which may help to build the HRH pool of different cadres for the future.
The nephrology consultation service, comprising trainees who were supervised by an attending nephrologist, prescribed all CRRT and SLED treatments.
This is the first report on the effect of a TOT training program on the provision of HIV counseling and testing services by trainees.
Our sample came from four UK Health Boards and a range of specialty trainee groups including: general practice (GP: 23); medicine (13); surgery (11); and service-orientated trainees such as anaesthetists, radiology and pathologists (10).
The study population was inclusive of all on-service postgraduate trainees in the field of radiation oncology; that is, radiation oncology residents of post graduate year (PGY) two through five, and medical physicists.
Consequently, supply of each specialty group has been driven by factors not directly related to the community's requirement for health services, including: trainee career preferences; the service requirements for trainees - that is, the reliance on trainees rather than specialists to provide services within parts of the health system; and the remuneration opportunities of different specialties.
