This package offers essential resources including separate modules for ECP for family planning and reproductive health trainers, supervisors, and program managers (http://www.fptraining.org./)./
Data gathered through review of documents, 6 focus group discussions with community leaders, and 12 key informant interviews with CHA trainers, supervisors and members of the District Health Management Team were analysed using thematic analysis.
Chris is an accredited trainer and supervisor of compassion focused therapy, and is currently writing two books on the subject.
One of the project members (DvS) was trained as an IPT trainer and supervisor.
Organizational barriers: no IPT therapists were available; an IPT trainer and supervisor had to be trained and training materials had to be developed and translated.
Their perceived impact as clinical trainer and supervisor was also significantly lower than their perceived impact as care provider (p = 0.018).
Social workers and psychologists received a one-day training in two groups by a qualified PST trainer and supervisor (psychologist, PhD) with experience in stepped-care.
The overall scores (scale of 1 4) were: Care provider = 3.5, Consultant = 3.4, Leader and champion of clinical governance = 3.4, Capacity builder = 3.3, Clinical trainer and supervisor = 3.2 and Champion of community-orientated primary care (COPC) = 3.1.
The results were as follows: Care provider = 3.5, Consultant = 3.4, Leader and champion of clinical governance = 3.4, Capacity builder = 3.3, Clinical trainer and supervisor = 3.2 and Leader and champion of COPC = 3.1.
It was decided that the tool would focus primarily on the key roles of the Family Physician, namely: care provider, consultant, leader and champion of clinical governance, clinical trainer and supervisor, capacity builder, and leader and champion of COPC.
To secure fidelity with the intervention, a qualified PST trainer and supervisor (psychologist, PhD) guides social workers and psychologists in performing PST, by means of telephone calls and e-mail.
