Abstract

Specialized training courses for employees at Razi Vaccine and Serum Research Institute are held on Good Manufacturing Practice (GMP) guidelines to improve the production process of biological products. The purpose of this research is to measure the validity of specialized trainings in the service of Razi Vaccine and Serum Research Institute in order to improve the biological products production process held in this institute. This research is a quantitative study with a non-experimental pattern, and the data collection tool is a form of a questionnaire designed by the researchers. The components of the research included: assessment of needs and information, content and heading, instructor, time and place, media and educational assistance, welfare and evaluation.

To determine the validity of the data collection tool, face validity was used, and to determine its reliability, the pre-test method and Cronbach's alpha test were used. The collected data were analyzed with SPSS software and descriptive (mean, standard deviation, and coefficient of variation) and analytical (Mann Whitney U tests, Regression, and Pearson and Spearman correlation coefficients).The results of the research showed that there is a positive and significant relationship between all the elements of education and the level of effectiveness, and this coefficient was higher for the components of the instructor and the content heading than the rest of the components, so that the level of satisfaction of the participants in the course. The results of the research showed that there is a positive and significant relationship between all the elements and the effectiveness of training, and 72% of the variance of the dependent variable of training effectiveness was explained by the variables of needs assessment and information, content and title.
