Abstract:
BACKGROUND: The Korea Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (KCDC) has been providing a nationwide, one-day training program for workers of hospital blood centers once a year since 2013. We evaluated the achievement levels of the program through surveys. METHODS: The survey was conducted immediately after the program in 2015, 2016, and 2017. Respondents' occupations, institutions, program contents, and operational aspects were asked. RESULTS: The response rate was 56.2%∼73.2%. The occupations of respondents were medical technologists 66.9%∼75.7%, nurses 16.1%∼22.1%, and others (administrators, et al.) 1.5%∼11.3%. About 86.1%∼88.2% of respondents answered that the program as a whole was satisfactory or very satisfactory; 88.9%∼94.7% thought that it is necessary or very necessary; 77.9%∼84.1% answered that the appropriate length of the program was one day; 53.8%∼69.1% answered that the appropriate number of program is once per year; and 23.4%∼53.8% or 40.3%∼61.4% answered that the appropriate season for the program by the KCDC should be the first or the second quarter, respectively. CONCLUSION: This study suggests that the training program plays a useful role in meeting the needs of workers for hospital blood centers.
