目的：本研究检验了危机干预小组 (CIT) 官员的知识分数在 CIT 培训后的几个月内是否会下降，以及培训后较短的时间是否会成为心理健康知识保留的重要预测因素。这项研究还研究了社会人口和工作相关特征是否可以预测知识保留。方法：过去三年内接受培训的 88 名 CIT 官员完成了一项在线调查，其中包含社会人口统计和工作相关问题以及培训结束时进行的知识测试中使用的 40 个项目中的 17 个项目。官员的培训后和后续考试成绩是匹配的。结果：正如预期的那样，CIT 培训后的几个月内，知识分数显着下降。经验不足的警官的后续得分较低。然而，培训后的时间流逝并不能预测知识的保留。结论：研究结果表明，CIT 官员将从有关精神疾病的继续教育中受益，并且经验丰富的官员可能是 CIT 培训的更好人选，至少在知识保留方面如此。
Objectives: This study examined whether knowledge scores of Crisis Intervention Team (CIT) officers would decline in the months following CIT training and whether shorter time since training would be a significant predictor of mental health knowledge retention. This study also examined whether sociodemographic and work-related characteristics would predict knowledge retention. Methods: Eighty-eight CIT officers trained within the past three years completed an online survey containing sociodemographic and work-related questions and 17 of the 40 items used on the knowledge test that is administered at the end of training. Officers' post-training and follow-up exam scores were matched. Results: As expected, knowledge scores decreased significantly in the months after CIT training. Less experienced officers had lower follow-up scores. However, time elapsed since training did not predict knowledge retention. Conclusions: The findings indicate that CIT officers would benefit from continuing education about mental illnesses and that more seasoned officers may be better candidates for CIT training, at least in terms of knowledge retention.
