Demographic and situational factors, such as position, recruitment method, and tenure, significantly influence training transfer in healthcare settings, while age does not act as a barrier.
Cowman et al. (2016) conducted a cross-sectional in Health care staff in long-stay facilities (n=124). Employment position (activity co-ordinator or physiotherapy assistant) vs. Nurses, health care assistants, and others was evaluated on Delivery of physical activity sessions (training transfer direction) (OR 17.67, 95% CI 2.034-153.497, p=0.009). Employment position significantly predicted training transfer, with activity co-ordinators and physiotherapy assistants being 17.67 times more likely to deliver physical activity sessions than nurses and health care assistants.
