Saiti, Anna; Mylona, Vasiliki
eJEP: eJournal of Education Policy, Fall 2015
The quality of a health care system is heavily dependent on a capable and skillful health care workforce so as to guarantee the delivery of quality health care services to its user groups. Hence, only through continuous training and development can the health care workforce follow rapid scientific progress while equitably balancing investment efficiency in the health care sector. The purpose of this study was, through the factor analysis of principal components, to identify the factors of satisfaction regarding the professional development and training policies as experienced by the Greek health care workforce. This study supports the view that only an education policy based on professional development and training is a fundamental factor for any sector and should aim to respond to the need for quality services.
