The Middle managers are the key personnel for the model of the Need-Based In-Service Training (NB-IST). The project provides necessary training sessions on management tasks for mid-level nursing managers and those candidates. This year, we provide a training course on Supervision and Coaching (S&C) which is the main pillar of the NB-IST model. The course is three-day program and it covers review of roles and functions of supervisors, and concrete methods of S&C using the practical tools such as supervisory checklist and reporting forms.

We especially made efforts to improve the training method from traditional lecture-centered method to participatory method introducing group works, case studies, role play, and simulations.

In August, we started it from Central and Eastern Divisions. The total of 36 middle managers received training through two series of training sessions. The average score of Post test rose about 30 % compare to that of the Pre-test. Participant's evaluation was pretty high in general. The project will seek the way for the sustainability.
