摘要

Background: Health care is shifting toward minimally invasive procedures requiring increasingly complex instruments and sophisticated processing technologies. Effective training methods are needed to ensure sterile processing professionals acquire and retain essential skills. This study aimed to develop and evaluate a new training model that supports mastery and retention of complex key skills. Methods: The model was pilot-tested with training focused on visual inspection of endoscopes. Pre- and post-training tests were administered to enhance learning during a face-to-face workshop that interspersed lectures and hands-on practice, followed by structured homework, and an online booster session. Surveys assessed satisfaction and confidence levels. Results: Mean test scores for nine certified sterile processing employees increased significantly following the workshop (41% vs 84%, P < .001). After the workshop, all trainees identified actionable visible defects on patient-ready endoscopes in their facilities. Test scores remained high after 2 months (90%), and trainees reported higher technical confidence and satisfaction levels after training. Conclusions: This study demonstrated effectiveness and clinical relevance of a new, evidence-based model for training sterile processing professionals that incorporated pretesting, lectures, hands-on practice, a training booster, and post-testing to enhance learning. This model may be applicable to other complex skills necessary for infection prevention and patient safety. (c) 2023 The Author(s).
