Health Worker Training Materials ~ Smart Discharges
- Description:
- Objective(s): The Smart Discharges Health Worker Training Program uses a train-the-trainer model to improve the quality of discharge care. Core learning components include: 1) understanding why children die during the vulnerable period after discharge; 2) conducting risk assessment for post-discharge vulnerability (facility-based health workers only); and 3) Effective counselling practices.
Data Description: This dataset includes the following materials for use in the Smart Discharges Training Program: 1) Facilitators Guide; 2) Health Workers Guide; 3) Community Health Worker’s Trainer’s Manual; 4) Smart Discharges Training Pre-Post Test; 5) Smart Discharges Training Program Evaluation Form. Materials were originally developed by WALIMU, in partnership with the University of British Columbia, and were adapted by the Uganda Ministry of Health.
All materials are provided in the English language.
Limitations: These materials were designed for the Ugandan context and may not be generalizable to other settings.
