“…Practical-oriented and experience-based training was described as the preferred method of skills training. The results are in line with a previous review on the factors that influence the transfer of training in disaster preparedness training and also a study on barriers to implementation of CPR training, which indicated learners' preference for experience-based learning methods (22,23). The method therefore needs to focus on skill-based training for laypersons because it has been shown to be effective in imparting knowledge and skills and also in boosting participants' self-confidence as they learn to perform new skills (22).…”

Background: In low and middle-income countries (LMICs), laypersons play a significant role in providing initial care to injured victims of traffic accidents. Post-crash first aid (PFA) training programmes for laypersons have become an important response to addressing knowledge and skills gaps in pre-hospital care. However, little is known about factors influencing effective implementation of such programmes from stakeholders' point of view. Therefore, this study aimed to explore views of stakeholders on potential factors that may facilitate or hinder successful implementation of a PFA training programme for lay persons.Methods: Twelve semi-structured qualitative interviews with leaders at a traffic police department and leaders of an association of city bus drivers, taxi drivers and motorcycle taxis in Tanzania were conducted. Interviews were audio-recorded and transcribed verbatim. A thematic analysis approach was used to identify themes and sub-themes.Results: Three themes pertaining to implementation of a PFA training programme were identified:Motivation for engaging in training, Constrains for engaging in training and Training processes. They consisted of a total of six sub-themes: "perceived benefits of first aid training" and "availability of incentives" were considered as facilitators to PFA training. "Availability of time to attend training" and "accessibility of training" were reported as a potential barriers to successful training. Finally, they felt that "methods of training delivery" and "availability of first aid training materials and equipment" could either facilitate or impede delivery of PFA training.Conclusion: This study highlights potential facilitators and barriers to implementing a PFA training programme for lay persons from the perspectives of leaders from police department and associations of city bus drivers, taxi drivers, and motorcycle taxis. This may be useful information for other stakeholders, and may enable government-level leaders and persons higher up in the health service hierarchy to take action to meet WHO recommendations for emergency pre-hospital care. BackgroundAbout half of all deaths of injured victims of road crashes occur in a pre-hospital environment (1).Although this is a significant problem, many low and middle-income countries (LMICs) either lack or The present study was funded by Umeå University and the Swedish International Development Cooperation Agency (SIDA), for the purpose of supporting fieldwork logistics and data collection in Dar es Salaam.

“…A tabletop exercise is a training approach aimed at improving nurses' competencies in this regard [8]. A tabletop exercise is a simulation exercise used for training responses to disasters and emergency situations [9] and has been proposed as an effective method for preparing for large-scale bioterror attacks and pandemics [10]. Tabletop exercise participants were instructed to discuss and create realistic and practical response plans according to the characteristics of their own healthcare institution and based on scenarios similar to the settings they are likely to encounter during a real-life outbreak of an infectious disease [11].…”

This study developed and evaluated a tabletop program for training nurses working in small- to medium-sized hospitals in areas with poor healthcare access for emerging a tabletop program for training emerging infectious disease responses in nurses working at small- to medium-sized hospitals in areas with poor healthcare access and evaluated infectious disease responses. A tabletop program for training responses to emerging infectious diseases was provided to 29 nurses at a general hospital with <300 beds in a region without a tertiary general hospital or healthcare institution with nationally designated inpatient wards for patients with infectious diseases. The 180 min program consisted of an online theoretical lecture (Phase 1), one-on-one drills (Phase 2), and a scenario-based tabletop exercise (Phase 3). To evaluate the program’s effect, pre- and post-knowledge, awareness, and competencies related to responses to emerging infectious diseases were assessed. The mean knowledge score significantly improved from 11.41 ± 2.33 before the training to 16.69 ± 2.48 after the training (z = −4.529, p < 0.001). The mean awareness score significantly improved from 80.83 ± 11.94 before the training to 85.45 ± 7.08 after the training (z = −2.335, p = 0.020). The mean competence score significantly increased from 67.31 ± 14.75 before the training to 79.38 ± 10.39 after the training (t = −6.187, p < 0.001). The tabletop exercise program effectively enhanced the nurses’ competencies in responding to emerging infectious diseases. The training program developed in this study may be utilized in addition to a simplified theoretical lecture to train nurses to improve their competency in responding to emerging infectious diseases.
