ABSTRACT
Objective:
To evaluate the efficacy of training programs administered to the nursing team during the integration period.
Methods:
This evaluation and experimentation research project was developed with 52 nursing professionals. Data collection included the evaluation of reactions, which measured professionals' feelings about the instructor and the training content, as well as the evaluation of learning, which measured the training efficacy through technical multiple-choice questions concerning the content given in two moments: before the beginning and in the end of the integration period.
Results:
The means of the evaluation of reactions of the practical and laboratory training were considered to be excellent, and pre- and post-training grades were 5.9 and 7.2 points (p < 0.0001) respectively.
Conclusion:
Trainings ministered during the integration period were effective and developed the skills needed to improve patients' health care quality and safety.
