Implementation of distance learning IMCI training in rural districts of Tanzania.

ABSTRACT:

Background

The standard face-to-face training for the integrated management of childhood illness (IMCI) continues to be plagued by concerns of low coverage of trainees, the prolonged absence of trainees from the health facility to attend training and the high cost of training. Consequently, the distance learning IMCI training model is increasingly being promoted to address some of these challenges in resource-limited settings. This paper examines participants' accounts of the paper-based IMCI distance learning training programme in three district councils in Mbeya region, Tanzania.

Methods

A cross-sectional qualitative descriptive design was employed as part of an endline evaluation study of the management of possible serious bacterial infection in Busokelo, Kyela and Mbaral
