Abstract

A longitudinal quasi experiment tested the effects of a relapse prevention and transfer enhancement posttraining
intervention on the self‐efficacy, transfer behavior, and performance of a sample of nurses who attended a
two‐day training program on the McGill Model of Nursing. ANCOVA results failed to support the effectiveness
of the intervention; in fact, participants in the transfer enhancement condition had the lowest transfer
behavior and performance except when it was combined with relapse prevention. However, all trainees showed
significant increase in self‐efficacy, behavior, and performance. Results are explained based on training
program effectiveness, organizational context, and transfer system. A positive transfer climate and factors in the
transfer system likely contributed. Implications discussed include the need to conduct a transfer of training needs
analysis (TTNA) and a contingency approach to posttraining transfer interventions.
