WMD/HAZMAT Protection Training for Health Professionals

描述(由申请人提供) 这项针对作为技术支持人员(SSP)的卫生专业人员的大规模杀伤性武器/危险物质防护培训(PROTECT)的电子学习课程将全天候提供，并在识别危险材料和了解其影响、正确识别防护装备物品、了解如何正确穿戴以及如何在危险环境中穿戴防护装备时履行基本角色和责任方面提供亟需的帮助。第一阶段的做法将侧重于实施教学系统开发(ISO)方法，以确定和记录具体的培训需求(要求)，制定适当的学习目标，设计培训这些需求的课程，并开发一个样本电子学习课程，以提供对这一概念的切实演示。保护电子学习的组成部分将包括一个门户网站、学习管理系统(LMS)、教学内容(课程材料)和智能辅导练习。在门户网站上，特别保护人员将能够进入保护电子学习课程，通过该课程，他们将获得必要的培训，以适当地保护自己，并在应对大规模毁灭性武器/危险物质事件时仍然有效地履行自己的职责。通过练习，学习者必须应用课程中学到的知识来解决他/她可能遇到的现实世界中的问题。公共卫生和应急组织现在已经准备好对SSP使用这种有效的培训，并加强其目前关于正确使用保护设备的内部培训。 这项研究与公共卫生的相关性很简单，因为SSP(在本申请中被确认为卫生专业人员)对危险材料、防护设备的正确使用以及如何在穿戴时有效工作的了解越多，他们就越能够更好地应用其技能、能力和资源，在大规模杀伤性武器/危险物质事件中为急救人员提供有益的支持。

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant) This e-learning course for WMD/HAZMAT Protection Training (PROTECT) for Health Professionals performing as skilled support personnel (SSP) will be available on a 24/7/365 basis and provide much needed assistance in recognizing hazardous materials and understanding their effects, properly identifying items of protective equipment, gaining knowledge of how to don (put on) them correctly and how to perform essential roles and responsibilities in a hazardous environment while wearing protective equipment. The Phase I approach will focus on implementing the Instructional Systems Development (ISO) methodology in identifying and documenting specific training needs (requirements), developing appropriate learning objectives, designing the course to train these and developing a sample e-learning lesson to provide a tangible demonstration of the concept. PROTECT e-learning components will include a web portal, learning management system (LMS), instructional content (lesson materials) and intelligent tutor exercises. At the web portal, SSP will be able to access the PROTECT e-learning course through which they will gain the training necessary to protect themselves properly and still perform their duties effectively when responding to a WMD/ HAZMAT incident. Through the exercises the learner must apply the knowledge learned in the lessons to solve real-world problems he/she is likely to encounter. Public health and emergency response organizations are ready now to use effective training of this type for SSP and to augment their current internal training in the proper use of protective equipment. The relevance of this research to public health is simply that the more knowledge and better understanding SSP (identified as health professionals in this application) have of hazardous materials, protective equipment, its proper use and how to work effectively while wearing it the better they will be able to apply their skills, capabilities and resources beneficially in support of first responders during a WMD/HAZMAT incident.
