queraum. cultural and social research is responsible for the evaluation of the project.
Implementation of the evaluation
For the accompanying evaluation of this project the focus is on the quantitative and qualitative evaluation of the effectiveness of the training.
At three different points of time quantitative surveys are conducted to assess changes in nursing skills. To evaluate the transfer of the newly gained skills into every day practise, a focus group will be organised about six months after the training is finished and the participants will be questioned with a qualitative interview schedule. Regular consultation and feedback meetings with the project team are organised in order to discuss emerging themes promptly, reflect on the project implementation and decide on further steps.
