EVALUATION OF PROFESSIONAL TRAINING PROGRAMS IN HEALTH: INDICATOR CONSTRUCTION AND VALIDATION

Abstract

This paper aimed to develop a qualifying instrument to contribute to the monitoring and evaluation of the Multidisciplinary Residency Program in Family Health. It was an exploratory evaluation study carried out in two phases: the first comprising the face construction and validation of the logic model and of the indicator matrix, through document analysis and a nominal group consensus technique. The first phase, in turn, took place in two stages, before and after the consensus meeting, in which the goal was to validate a logical model and an indicators matrix that would reflect the main evaluative elements of the program. The second phase included the construction of the evaluation instrument. A logical model and the indicator matrix were validated based on the work done by the consensus groups, the outcome of which was 32 indicators used to build the evaluation instrument that was formatted through a structured questionnaire. This questionnaire consisted of 35 evaluative questions divided into 19 questions in the program management dimension; five in the organizational structure dimension, and 11 in the educational process dimension. The instrument that was prepared, based on a universally accepted protocol for this purpose, will need to be applied in future surveys for its validation process to be completed.
