This study aims to assess the effectiveness of training programs for preventive healthcare professionals using a comprehensive Kaufman evaluation framework. The framework's multi-level approach allows for a detailed analysis of training outcomes, from individual learning to societal impact. The research employs a mixed-methods design, incorporating quantitative surveys and qualitative interviews with healthcare professionals who have undergone training. Key evaluation criteria include knowledge acquisition, skill enhancement, performance improvement, and the subsequent effect on patient health outcomes. Initial findings indicate that while most training programs succeed in improving immediate knowledge and skills, their long-term impact on professional performance and patient health remains variable. Furthermore, the study explores organizational support and its role in the sustained application of training. This research underscores the necessity for ongoing evaluation and adaptation of training programs to ensure they meet evolving healthcare demands. The findings provide actionable insights for healthcare administrators and policymakers aiming to optimize training initiatives for preventive healthcare professionals.
