Background

The study aimed to analyze the differences in learning satisfaction between in-person and synchronous virtually online among Cambodian trainees in the Dr. LEE Jong-wook Fellowship Program. Given the necessity to strengthen health workforce capacity in developing countries, this study provides insights into the effectiveness of training delivery modes to improve rehabilitation healthcare personnel training.

Methods

A quantitative study was conducted to evaluate learning satisfaction, incorporating both structured survey responses and anecdotal comments from open-ended questions. The study employed a validated learning satisfaction tool, adjusted for reliability and validity. In the in-person training sessions, data were collected through paper-based surveys, while in the synchronous virtual online training sessions, an online version of the same survey using a 5-point Likert scale was administered. Study participants were selected using convenience sampling.

Results

Twenty-one participants (male, n = 12; female, n = 9) met the inclusion criteria. Among the 21 participants, 17 (81%) were affiliated with the Khmer-Soviet Friendship Hospital. Additionally, 61% were physical therapists, 14% were medical doctors (n = 3), and 24% were registered nurses (n = 5). Furthermore, 55% had at least 10 years of experience. The findings indicated higher satisfaction in in-person, attributed to increased interaction and real-time feedback(Q4: t = 2.413, p = .021; Q10: t = 3.285, p = .002). However, synchronous virtually online was preferred by trainees for its flexibility. Additionally, conducting the program in the Cambodian native language considerably enhanced trainee satisfaction.

Conclusions

This study highlights the strengths and limitations of different educational delivery methods in healthcare workforce training. It suggests that a hybrid approach, incorporating both in-person and synchronous virtually online in trainees’ native language, may optimize learning satisfaction and engagement in future programs.
