title: Evaluating efficiency of training: an application in primary health centers using multiple comparison techniques.
abstract: The purpose of this research is to measure the efficiency of training in the general principles of vaccine applications, the cold chain, and the adverse effects after vaccination for 51 employees (31 midwives and 20 nurses) working at primary health centers in Tuzla Health Group Region via test and retest method. The data collected through measurement of test scores before and after training is analyzed via multiple comparison techniques such as general test scores, the scores of each training, the scores of previously trained subjects, and difference scores. Achievement scores after training were significantly high. Previous training did not reveal significant effects on the results. Having been trained before did not cause permanent influence.
