Cross-sectional study in Madagascar demonstrates efficacy of virtual mentoring and flipped classroom modifications of neonatal resuscitation programme Helping Babies Breathe.

AIM: The Covid-19 pandemic necessitated virtual adaptation of the neonatal resuscitation programme Helping Babies Breathe (HBB). This study assessed one such virtually mentored and flipped classroom modification in Madagascar. METHODS: A cross-sectional study was performed in September 2021 and May 2022. Healthcare providers were identified by local collaborating organisations. United States-based master trainers collaborated with local trainers on virtually mentored trainings followed by independent trainings. Master trainers were available for consultation via Zoom during the virtual training. A flipped classroom modification and traditional didactic method were compared. Primary outcomes were knowledge and skill acquisition, evaluated by written assessments and objective structured clinical examinations. RESULTS: Overall, 97 providers completed the curriculum. Written assessment scores improved in both training models (traditional-74.8% vs 91.5%, p < 0.001; flipped classroom-89.7% vs 93.6%, p < 0.05). There was no significant difference among written assessment scores (92.8% vs 91.5%, p = 0.62) and significantly higher objective structured clinical examination scores (97.3% vs 89.5%, p < 0.001) for the independent training compared to the virtually mentored training. CONCLUSION: The virtually mentored HBB training was followed by a successful independent training as measured by participant knowledge and skill acquisition, supporting the efficacy of virtual dissemination.

Police stress: the role of occupational culture and officer characteristics

PurposeThe purpose of the current study was to augment the police culture and stress literature by empirically examining the impact of features of the internal and external work environment, as well as officer characteristics, on police officer stress.Design/methodology/approachThe current empirical inquiry utilized survey data collected from street-level officers in a mid-sized urban police department in a southern region of the United States (n = 349).FindingsThis study revealed that perceived danger, suspicion of citizens and cynicism toward the public increased police occupational stress, while support from supervisors mitigated it. In addition, Black and Latinx officers reported significantly less stress than their White counterparts.Research limitations/implicationsWhile this study demonstrates that patrol officers' perceptions of the external and internal work environments (and race/ethnicity) matter in terms of occupational stress, it is not without limitations. One limitation related to the generalizability of the findings, as results are gleaned from a single large agency serving a metropolitan jurisdiction in the Southeast. Second, this study focused on cultural attitudes and stress, although exact connections to behaviors are more speculative. Finally, the survey took place prior to the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic and the killing of George Floyd (and others), which radically shook police–community relationships nationwide.Practical implicationsPolice administrators should be cognizant of the importance that views of them have for patrol officer stress levels. Moreover, police trainers and supervisors concerned with occupational stress of their subordinates should work toward altering assignments and socialization patterns so that officers are exposed to a variety of patrol areas, in avoiding prolonged assignments of high social distress.Originality/valueThe study augmented the police culture and stress literature by empirically uncovering the individual-level sources of patrol officers' job-related stress. This study builds off of Paoline and Gau's (2018) research using data collected some 15 years ago by examining a more contemporary, post–Ferguson, context.

Activity-Based Learning: An Analysis to Teach Learners Using Online Methodologies

Activity-based learning is one of the most trending methodology of learning. It is a teaching methodology which enables a learner to learn as per his or her natural pace using a series of activities which is more interactive, engaging and beneficial for young learners. It also has the facility of monitoring and evaluating the activities. However, the online activity-based learning became a new mode of teaching during the COVID-19 when the entire world went under lockdown. The situation was indeed very difficult for everyone to make their ends meet during that time. People were not allowed to come out of their homes except to purchase the daily needs. All the educational institutions including schools, colleges and universities were shut down for an indefinite period. The faculties were left with no other alternative but to take classes through online mode. This was a challenging task not only for students but also for the teachers. Therefore, the basic objective of the paper would be to discuss about the effectiveness of the implementation of activity-based learning through online mode and how far it has succeeded in creating an impact among the trainers as well as the learners. © 2023, The Author(s), under exclusive license to Springer Nature Singapore Pte Ltd.

Recovery in Mind: A Recovery College's journey through the Covid-19 pandemic.

INTRODUCTION: The Covid-19 restrictions of 2020-2021 are known to have undermined the UK population's mental health. Working alongside staff, peer trainers and students at Recovery in Mind (RiM), a Recovery College (RC) in West Berkshire, England, this mixed-methods study is amongst the first to investigate how an RC has responded to the pandemic. METHODS: Working in co-production with RiM staff and peer-trainers, this study employed a mixed-methods design, gathering Warwick-Edinburgh Mental Wellbeing Scale (WEMWBS) well-being outcome measures by questionnaire and student experience, learning and co-production by interviews. FINDINGS: This research found that RiM continued to produce demonstrable improvements in student mental health. Students welcomed the way that RiM adapted to offering online and socially distanced provisions. Students valued the skills that RiM taught and the way that RiM courses reinforced prior learning; above this, however, they valued the mutual support and sense of community that participation provided. CONCLUSION: This study underlines the value of RCs maintaining 'hidden curriculums' of peer support and community involvement. This research emphasizes co-production as not only a tool for empowerment or service improvement but as a valuable skill for personal mental health recovery. Even when operating under the most unforeseen or challenging of conditions, RCs should always endeavour to prioritize and maintain co-production. PATIENT OR PUBLIC CONTRIBUTION: In accordance with the RC ethos, this was an entirely co-produced study, with academic researchers and RiM staff and peer trainers working democratically in partnership with one another to design and manage the study and to write up and disseminate findings. To ensure the independence and rigour of findings, data analysis was undertaken by external academic researchers.

Results: Four main themes emerged from consensual qualitative data analysis: mental health impact, social responsibility, work–life boundaries, and 24/7 work demands. Conclusion: The results suggest that collegiate athletic trainers are struggling to find work–life balance and must find ways to implement self-care practices. [ FROM AUTHOR]

Dialogic Health Education to Reduce COVID-19 Disparities and Increase Health Literacy in Community and Correctional Settings: Protocol for a Two-Pronged Health Education Program.

BACKGROUND: COVID-19 vaccines significantly reduce rates of hospitalization and death for those infected with the SARS-CoV-2 virus. Those facing social oppression, including people of color, experience heightened risk for COVID-19 and comorbidities, but are often mistrustful of governmental agencies and initiatives, contributing to low vaccine uptake and a reluctance to access vital health care services. Dialogue-based health literacy interventions may mitigate mistrust and increase access to health services and information, subsequently increasing rates of vaccination and other behaviors that reduce COVID-19 risk. OBJECTIVE: To improve health literacy and reduce COVID-19 disparities, the Westchester County Department of Health, in partnership with two universities, community- and faith-based organizations, and the Westchester County Department of Correction, co-developed a health education program for community members, correctional officers, and incarcerated jail residents in Westchester, New York. Specific objectives are to increase preventative health behaviors, positive attitudes toward use of public health protocols, full vaccination or intentions to vaccinate, health care information understanding, health provider care access, clear communication with health care providers, and personal health care decision-making. METHODS: Grounded in dialogic learning, the program entails training community-based "trusted messengers" and correctional officers to lead health information sessions in community and correctional settings. During the grant period, the program intends for 80 community-based trusted messengers to receive training from the Department of Health and will be expected to reach a goal of 100 members (N=8000) of their communities. Correctional staff with experience delivering educational programs will be trained to facilitate sessions among 400 correctional facility residents and 600 correctional staff. RESULTS: Pre-post surveys will assess changes in health behaviors, attitudes, and perceptions. The program has been administered in the correctional facility since February 2022, with information sessions expected to cease for correctional staff and residents in June 2022 and November 2022, respectively. An initial cohort of community-based trusted messengers began training in February 2022, and information sessions have been scheduled in various virtual and community settings since March 2022. As of April 2022, the two-pronged health education program has reached 439 correctional officers, 98 jail residents, and 201 community members countywide. Program evaluation findings will be released in future publications after study implementation is complete. CONCLUSIONS: Few studies have evaluated the combined effects of training-of-trainers (ToT) and dialogical learning models on behavior and health literacy. As the first known COVID-19-specific dialogue-based health education program that applies a ToT model in the community-based, correctional, and virtual settings simultaneously, this study fills a gap in current knowledge about health literacy and health behavior in marginalized populations. Thus, this evidence-based framework can remedy COVID-19 disparities while also addressing risks for a host of health-related issues at the community level, potentially serving as a best-practice model for future health programs.

Understanding inclusion in early childhood care and education: A participatory action learning and action research study

Background: Early Childhood Care and Education (ECCE) refers to the care and education of children from birth to age four. There is a scarcity of research on inclusion in this marginalised sector in many developing countries, including South Africa. Aim: This article reports on a virtual learning participatory workshop on understanding inclusion with six ECCE teachers and two ECD practitioner trainers. Setting: Due to the social distancing necessitated by the Corona Virus pandemic, all interactions were facilitated through the WhatsApp platform. Methods: The study employed a participatory action learning and action research (PALAR) design that focuses on collaborative and contextually relevant learning and research. Data were generated in two iterative cycles using a baseline questionnaire, photovoice, reflective journals and purposeful conversations. Results: Cycle one found that some of the participants’ understanding of inclusion needed to be challenged. Their understandings of inclusion centred on discourses of disability with a narrow view of inclusion. This action learning set (ALS) mainly regarded inclusion to be a product rather than a process and claimed that segregation had some advantages. Some of the members of the ALS also misconstrued inclusion for micro-exclusive practices of assimilation and integration. Cycle two was planned to address these misunderstandings. Cycle two revealed that becoming inclusive means revisiting dominant ideologies about inclusion and a critical awareness of micro-exclusive practices. Conclusion: This research serves to challenge dominant beliefs of what inclusion is. The knowledge presented here could be cascaded to other ECCE centres in the South African context. With a scarcity of research on inclusion in ECCE, this study may provide a point of departure for future research.

Specialty-Training Program During COVID-19 Pandemic: A Single Center Survey on over 300 Trainees and Trainers

Objective: COVID-19 pandemic caused significant modifications in education of trainees who are in medical speciality training programs. Limiting the number of residents in the clinics, cancelling elective surgical procedures, stopping face to face practical education, and transforming theoretical education into distance learning platforms resulted in alterations in the curriculum. Limited number of studies in the literature surveyed the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on specialty training in various medical disciplines. Methods: We addressed to assess the situation of trainees' education using an online questionnaire from the trainees' and directors' perspective during the pandemic. The survey platform SurveyMonkey® was used to distribute the survey and to collect responses. We generated a list of multiple-choice questions about how social distancing affected the delivery of medical education, potential compromise in core training and difficulties in conducting clinical research for the thesis. Results: A total of 364 trainees among 552 (65.9%) under training at our university hospital and 90% of the directors (37 of 41) responded the survey. Almost 78 percent of the trainees claimed that they have been negatively affected during the pandemic. Although majority of the trainees (60.3%) reported that extension of their education program is not necessary, most of the program directors were in tendency of extending the duration of the speciality training period. The participants predominantly considered that online training would keep on being a part of the training program after the pandemic. Conclusion: Education programs are negatively affected during pandemics. However, authorities should manage this deficiency by a new perspective since present trainees are familiar to use technology-driven virtual sources for their education. After the pandemic, computer-assisted online learning and webbased programs should be integrated into educational curriculum. (English) [ FROM AUTHOR] Amaç: COVID-19 pandemisi tıpta uzmanlık eğitimi alan uzmanlık öğrencilerinin eğitim programında belirgin değişikliklere neden olmuştur. Kliniklerde asistan sayıları azaltılmış, elektif ameliyatlar ertelenmiş, yüz yüze pratik eğitim sonlandırılmış ve teorik eğitim uzaktan eğitime dönüştürülerek müfredat düzenlenmiştir. COVID-19 pandemisinin farklı tıp dsiplinlerinde uzmanlık eğitimini nasıl etkilediğine ait çalışma sayısı sınırlıdır. Yöntemler: Pandemi döneminde eğitimin sorgulanması için uzmanlık öğrencilerine ve anabilim dalı başkanlarına yönelik "online" bir anket hazırlanmıştır. Anket "SurveyMonkey®" programında hazırlanmış ve dağıtılmıştır. Sosyal mesafe kurallarının tıp eğitimini nasıl etkilediği, çekirdek eğitim müfredatının nasıl yürütüldüğü, tez çalışmalarının ve klinik araştırmaların durumunu sorgulayan çoktan seçmeli sorular hazırlanmıştır. Sonuçlar: Üniversite hastanemizde eğitim alan toplam 552 uzmanlık öğrencisinden 364'ü (%65.9) ve anabilim dalı başkanlarının %90'ı (41'den 37'si) anketi cevaplandırmıştır. Uzmanlık öğrencilerinin %78'si pandeminin eğitimlerini olumsuz yönde etkilediğini bildirmiş, ancak, çoğunluk (%60.3) uzmanlık eğitim süresinin uzamasını istememiştir. Tersine, anabilim dalı başkanlarının çoğunluğu sürenin uzatılması gerektiğini bildirmiştir. Katılımcıların çoğu uzaktan "online" eğitimin pandemiden sonra da eğitim programına dahil edilmesi gerektiğini bildirmiştir. Tartışma: Pandemi döneminde eğitim olumsuz etkilenmiştir. Ancak, eğitim sorumluları günümüz uzmanlık öğrencilerinin teknolojinin kullanıldığı uzaktan eğitim modellerine daha yatkın olmalarından yararlanarak, eğitim sistemlerini yeni bir bakış açısı ile güncellemelidir. Pandemi sonrasında, bilgisayar temelli eğitim kaynakları uzmanlık eğitim müfredatına yerleştirilmelidir.

The objective of the book’s chapter was to compare the physical activity evaluated through metabolic equivalents in athletic trainers during the SARS-CoV-2 lockdown. Thirty-seven athletic trainers took part in the study, in order to determine the physical activity and calculate the energy expenditure, the International Physical Activity Questionnaire (IPAQ) was used, the evaluation was virtually before and during the SARS-CoV-2 lockdown. The Student's t-test for independent sampling was used to calculate the equality of variance resulting in non-significant values in the total physical activity in MET-minutes of sports coaches before than during the SARS-CoV-2 lockdown (p =.232), with a percentage difference of 15.1?%. The level of financial activity in athletic trainers remains with no changes than those others professionals within the public health, who help to increase the active lifestyle of a society. © 2022 by Nova Science Publishers, Inc.

Competence inference from muscle: how and when trainers' muscle mass impacts service purchase of personal fitness training

Purpose>This study aims to examine how and when trainers' muscle mass impacts service purchase of personal fitness training, drawing upon signaling theory. Specifically, the authors investigated (1) the mediating role of perceived competence in the relationship between trainers' muscle mass (highly vs moderately muscular) and customers' service registration intention and (2) the moderating role of customer expertise in this mediating mechanism.Design/methodology/approach>The authors conceptualized trainers' muscle mass, developed its experimental stimuli and validated them through the two pretests (total n = 387). Using the validated stimuli, the authors conducted the two experiments (total n = 802). In both experiments, the authors recruited participants via MTurk using the convenience sampling method and employed a single-factor between-subject design based on random assignment.Findings>Findings supported the authors’ proporsed model. Consumers perceived highly (vs moderately) muscular trainers as more competent, which in turn engendered greater service registration intention. This effect emerged for expert consumers but not for novice consumers.Originality/value>This study is one of the first attempts to empirically test the influence of trainers' muscle mass on consumer acquisition in the context of personal fitness training. It also expands the sport marketing literature to the consumer psychology and behavior fields addressing the characteristics of sport-service providers. The findings also provide fitness organizations with managerial insights into how to effectively leverage trainers' physical appearance as a marketing tool.

Pre-service students' experiences at Teacher Training Programmes during the Covid-19 pandemic: what teacher trainers should know

The world has been undergoing one of the most dramatic changes ever experienced by humanity due to COVID-19 pandemic. Consequently, teachers have adapted to this unforeseen situation, trying to tackle the new challenges. Being English as Foreign Language (EFL) Teachers, we carried out a survey to obtain data about students' experiences in the context of Emergency Remote Teaching (ERT). As a result, an online survey was administered to students from four different EFL teacher training programmes in three provinces of Argentina at the end of the first semester in 2020. The information included in this article might shed light upon trainees' perspectives and give higher education teachers the possibility of reflecting on their academic and pedagogical practices.

Professional Sports Trainers' Burnout in Fully Online and Blended Classes: Innovative Approaches in Physical Education and Sports Training

The COVID-19 pandemic has forced many educational institutions worldwide to establish emergency remote teaching systems. Although online teaching has long been applied in many other subjects, online sports training is still under-researched in developing countries like Vietnam. In Vietnam, sports trainers are innovatively making many efforts to teach sports online amidst such a once-in-many-generations event. Particularly, a gym center chain has been offering two special formats of online courses utilizing virtual reality (VR) and three-dimensional (3D) technologies, namely, fully online and blended courses. The first format comprises 50% asynchronous sessions using VR and 3D technologies to provide trainees with theoretical knowledge and 50% offline sessions for practical skills training. The second format also includes 50% asynchronous sessions using the same technologies;however, the training for practical skills is conducted via an e-conferencing platform (Zoom). Fortunately, the blended courses have attracted significant attention from many sports trainees. However, as sports trainers in Vietnam had minimal opportunities to teach online before this epidemic, it is likely that, while teaching these courses, they can encounter moments of burnout, which comprises three dimensions, such as exhaustion, cynicism, and low professional efficacy. Thus, we aim to investigate factors that affected each dimension of burnout among sports trainers, using the mixed-method approach with questionnaires and focus-group interviews within this study. This study suggests practical pedagogical implications for sports trainers and administrators to curb stress and burnout in online sports training courses in times of crisis.

Athletic Training Student Coping Strategies during the COVID-19 Pandemic

Context: Athletic training students (ATSs) have reported increased levels of stress due to balancing a myriad of responsibilities, both as students and with personal life roles. Coping mechanisms to manage their stress are multifactorial. The COVID-19 pandemic has added additional stressors not yet fully understood. Objective: Although some understanding of stress and coping of ATSs exists, little is known about how they coped during the COVID-19 pandemic. Therefore, our purpose was to better understand the coping response to stress for ATSs during the COVID-19 pandemic. Design: Phenomenological qualitative study. Setting: Web-based (Zoom) interviews. Patients or Other Participants: Fourteen Professional Master of Athletic Training students (9 female, 5 male) from 14 colleges and universities completed semistructured Web-based interviews. On average, the participants were 26 ± 4 years old. Data Collection and Analysis: All interviews were recorded via the Zoom platform and then transcribed by Otter. Basic member checks to ensure accuracy of the transcription process were completed with all participants before analyzing the data. Peer review was also completed. Results: Three major themes emerged from the data: (1) the importance of flexibility and adaptability, (2) the need for empathy toward others and self, and (3) various stress management strategies. All themes transcended stress reduction, and each had potential implications for their future roles as athletic trainers. Conclusions: Students enrolled in professional master's programs experienced increased stress, not only due to COVID-19 but in general due to the demands of the role of students in health care professional programs. Learning to be effective time and stress managers will be important for professional longevity as other stressful events are likely.

Creating SPACE: A Conceptual Framework for Rights-Based International Social Work and Social Development

Escalating conflicts, climate change, rising inequality, a global pandemic: Complex emergencies are leading to a reconfiguration of the world as we know it. Rapid flow of information allows increased visibility and understanding of the impact of these crises on the most vulnerable. Yet at the same time, marginalized communities are rendered invisible, and their fundamental human rights are being erased. In such contexts, providing a framework that engages communities and ensures that they are at the core of any capacity building endeavor is an important professional mandate for international social work and social development. This paper introduces the Strengths and Participation to Accomplish Capacity and Empowerment (SPACE) conceptual framework for capacity building and community engagement in international social work practice. This conceptual framework builds on both the strengths perspective and empowerment theories, and promotes a rights-based approach for international social work and social development. SPACE was first used to design and implement a training-of-trainers program in two communities in Guatemala. The training’s effectiveness in building capacity was evidenced by the impactful networks strengthened or developed as a result of the training in developing COVID-related responses. Further applications of this framework can improve international social work practice and advance rights-based approaches to sustainable development. © 2021 Authors,.

Online teaching as the new normal: Understanding translator trainers' self-efficacy beliefs

The coronavirus disease (COVID-19) has turned most translator trainers around the world into online trainers, whether they were ready or not. With translator trainers gaining considerable first-hand experience from their remote teaching activities during COVID-19, this study set out to understand translator trainers' self-efficacy beliefs (e.g. trainers' judgement about their own abilities) regarding online teaching in the Australasian context. A total of 49 Australian and New Zealand translator trainers contributed to this study by completing an online survey, from which data about their demographic information, online teaching related experiences, and self-efficacy beliefs about online teaching were collected. Analyses of the data showed that the trainers did not have many opportunities to teach online before COVID-19. Similarly, they lacked experiences in professional training and self-study regarding online teaching. The trainers were generally not very confident in their abilities to teach translation online. The analyses also found that the trainers' self-efficacy beliefs about online teaching were more strongly correlated with some of their experiences (e.g. professional training, self-study, student feedback and student gain) than with other experiences (e.g. pre-pandemic online teaching, university support, and collegial help). © 2021 University of Roehampton.

Investigation of The Relationship Between The Life Quality and Life Satisfactions of Karate Do Coaches in The Covid-19 Outbreak Process

Aim: The aim of the study is to report the quality of life and life satisfaction of karate-do trainers during the covid-19 epidemic and public health restrictions, and to examine the relationships between trainers' quality of life and life satisfaction while the restrictions persist. Methods: During public health restrictions, Karate Do trainers were recruited through an online survey and social media posting of demographics, quality of life, and life satisfaction sections. The World Health Organization Quality of Life Scale (WHOQOL-BREF) and the 7-point Likert-type Life Satisfaction Scale developed by Diener et al. (1985) and validated in Turkish by Bekmezci and Mert (2018) were used. IBM SPSS 22 package was used for data analysis. Independent Sample T test, One way Anova Test and Pearson Correlation Test were used with the program. The significance level of all evaluations was taken into account as p<0.05. Results: In the findings obtained in the study, no significant difference was found between the participants' gender, age, educational status, residence and coaching time, and life satisfaction in the sub-dimensions of quality of life. A significant difference was found between the monthly income levels of the participants and the sub-dimensions of the quality of life, namely the psychological field and the environmental field and life satisfaction. During the pandemic period, significant differences were observed in the levels of paying attention to mask-distance-hygiene rules and in all sub-dimensions of quality of life. As a result of the correlation analysis, it was observed that as the quality of life of karate do trainers increased, life satisfaction at the mid-low level increased positively. Conclusion: No significant difference was found between the variables of gender, age, education level, residence and duration of coaching of karate do trainers and quality of life and life satisfaction. It was observed that there was a significant difference between the monthly income of the trainers and the sub-dimensions of the quality of life, namely psychological domain, environmental domain and life satisfaction. As karate do trainers pay attention to hygiene rules in every period, significant differences were observed between the level of attention to mask-distance-hygiene rules and all sub-dimensions of quality of life during the pandemic period. From this point of view, it can be said that Karate Do trainers pay attention to hygiene rules, especially during the pandemic period. In our study, it was observed that as the quality of life of Karate Do trainers increased, their life satisfaction also increased moderately positively. It is predicted that this ratio will increase even more with the new regulations to be made on the living standards and personal rights of Karate Do trainers.

Wie erleben und bewältigen Lehrende der berufsbezogenen Weiterbildung Folgen der Corona-Pandemie?

ZusammenfassungDie qualitative Studie geht der Frage nach, wie Lehrende in der berufsbezogenen Weiterbildung die Folgen der Corona-Pandemie im Hinblick auf die damit einhergehenden Unsicherheiten und professionellen Anforderungen erlebten und bewältigten. Ausgehend von Kompetenzmodellen für Lehrende in der Weiterbildung wurden die Veränderungen ihrer beruflichen Situation betrachtet, die veränderten Anforderungen mit Blick auf die Digitalisierung sowie ihre Selbstregulations- und Bewältigungsstrategien. Zu diesem Zweck werteten wir 22 textbasierte Beiträge einer Webparade vom Spätsommer 2020 mittels der qualitativen Inhaltsanalyse aus. Es zeigte sich, dass die Lehrenden nach anfänglicher Verunsicherung proaktiv und pragmatisch reagierten und die Digitalisierung als Lerngelegenheit annahmen. Für den Erwerb der erforderlichen Kompetenzen scheinen sie sich mittels Online-Trainerausbildungen und auf informellen Wegen fortzubilden. Aus didaktischer Sicht scheint die Digitalisierung Vorteile für bedarfsorientierte und wirksame Weiterbildung zu bieten, bei gleichzeitigen Schwierigkeiten, die aus der physischen Distanz vor allem für die Interaktion und Beziehungsgestaltung resultieren. Implikationen für die individuelle Professionalisierung der Lehrenden unter Pandemiebedingungen werden diskutiert.Alternate :This qualitative study explores the question of how trainers in workrelated continuing education experienced and coped with the consequences of the COVID-19-pandemic in terms of the uncertainties and professional demands that accompanied it. Based on competency models for teachers in continuing education, we looked at the changes in their professional situation, the changed requirements with regard to digitalization, and their self-regulation and coping strategies. For this purpose, we evaluated 22 text-based contributions of a web parade from late summer 2020 using qualitative content analysis. We found that after initial uncertainty, trainers responded proactively and pragmatically, embracing digitization as a learning opportunity. To acquire the necessary competencies, they appear to use online trainer training and informal channels. From a didactic point of view, digitization seems to offer advantages for demand-oriented and effective continuing education, with simultaneous difficulties resulting from physical distance, especially for interaction and relationship building. Implications for the individual professionalization of trainers are discussed.
