Impact evaluation of one training in bibliographic research for postgraduate students and residents in healthcare

ABSTRACT The objective of this study is to evaluate the impact of training in online searching in Medical Literature Analysis and Retrieval System Online (MedLine) and Biblioteca Virtual em Saúde (BVS) Research Portal databases, on the information seeking behavior of graduate students and residents of the Health Science Campus of the Federal University of Minas Gerais. The research used the Kirkpatrick model for evaluating training specifically focusing on first and second levels of this model. The basic descriptive research used a quantitative approach. The research used a non-random sample consisting of the graduate students and residents who agreed to participate in the course. This training had a course load of 15 hours and was offered to postgraduate students of the Graduate Campus Health of the Federal University of Minas Gerais and residents of Obstetric Nursing Residency Program of the Federal University of Minas Gerais School of Nursing courses. Data collection was conducted using two questionnaires at the beginning and at the end of the training. We compared the answers given by the respondents in these questionnaires. The results showed that the training had a positive impact on the informational seeking behavior because students have acquired new knowledge and research skills.

摘要 本研究旨在评估针对医学文献分析与检索系统在线版（Medical Literature Analysis and Retrieval System Online，MedLine）及健康科学虚拟图书馆（Biblioteca Virtual em Saúde，BVS）研究门户数据库的在线检索培训，对米纳斯吉拉斯联邦大学健康科学校区研究生与住院医师的信息检索行为所产生的影响。本研究采用柯克帕特里克模型（Kirkpatrick model）开展培训效果评估，重点聚焦该模型的第一、二级评估维度。本研究属于基础描述性研究，采用定量研究方法，通过非随机抽样选取自愿参与本次培训的研究生与住院医师作为研究对象。本次培训课程学时为15小时，面向米纳斯吉拉斯联邦大学健康研究生院的研究生，以及该校护理学院产科护理住院医师培训项目的住院医师开设。数据收集于培训起始与结束阶段分别通过两份问卷完成，随后对两份问卷中受访者的作答结果进行对比分析。研究结果显示，本次培训对学员的信息检索行为产生了积极影响，学员通过培训掌握了新知识与科研技能。
