Abstract
BACKGROUND: Descriptions of training intervention in healthcare include a lot of vagueness, leaving the reader in doubt about the intervention and the true value of the reported effects. A set of reporting criteria to improve the transparency and comprehensiveness in reporting training interventions in healthcare is recommended. OBJECTIVE: This study aimed to develop and content validate a set of reporting criteria for the development and evaluation of training interventions for healthcare professionals. METHOD: The set of criteria was developed along three stages: (1) a literature review, (2) the design of the criteria, and (3) a Delphi and consensus meeting process with ten experts from different professional disciplines. RESULTS: The Criteria for Reporting on Development and Evaluation of Professional Training interventions in Healthcare (CRe-DEPTH) set was systematically developed and consisted of 12 items representing four categories: (1) development of the training, (2) characteristics of the training, (3) characteristics of the providers, and (4) assessment of the training outcomes. Each item has a detailed description to support its unambiguous interpretation. CONCLUSIONS: The developed CRe-DEPTH reporting criteria guide high quality development, evaluation and reporting for complex training interventions, while preserving the flexibility to incorporate various teaching content or teaching methods. The Cre-DEPTH criteria will allow for detailed reporting on the training, its developmental process, as well as on the rationale for underlying choices, and will avoid non-reporting of training details.
