Abstract
Background: The relationships between education, training, and work performance in healthcare professionals within hospital settings is a topic of significant interest and importance. Understanding how the level of education and the adequacy of training impact the performance of health workers is crucial for ensuring optimal patient care and organizational effectiveness. The purpose of this study was to estimate the relationships between education, training, and work performance in health workers in hospital.
Subjects and Method: Meta-analysis was conducted using PICO model. Population= health workers. Intervention= high education and training. Comparison= low education and without training. Outcome= work performance. Articles were obtained from Google Scholar and PubMed using following keywords: Education AND Training AND “Job Performance” AND “Health Workers” AND Multivariate. The inclusion criteria were articles from cross-sectional studies, written in English, and published between 2016 and 2024. Analysis was conducted using RevMan 5.4.
Results: 8 cross-sectional studies from China, Ethiopia, Tanzania, Cameroon, and Uganda were included for meta-analysis. The total sample was 2,497 health workers. High education (aOR= 1.91; 95% CI= 1.43 to 2.56; p<0.001) and training (aOR= 3.49; 95% CI= 2.10 to 5.80; p<0.001) improved work performance in health workers.
