Health education and information in pregnancy must be a priority, despite the lack of instruments to evaluate the effectiveness of the education and the fact that positive results cannot be guaranteed. During research done for a Masters degree on the utilization of antenatal services by high risk primigravidae at the Tygerberg hospital, patients were interviewed on various aspects that are important during pregnancy, like family planning, breastfeeding, smoking and danger signs that may occur during pregnancy.

This needs analysis study focused on acquiring feedback from trainee counselors for developing the Mobile Counseling Supervision System (MoCoss).This system was developed based on the Client Server framework. Based on this framework, MoCoSS would be developed in three phases; the Client phase, the Server phase and the integration phase. The questionnaire regarding the needs analysis was administered using Google form to acquire feebdack about the need for  mobile Counseling Supervision while undergoing the counselling internship. The needs analysis study was conducted on 57 respondents who comprised the unedrgraduates and the Masters degree students who were having their counselling internship in schools and other organisations. The findings showed that 67.3 percent of the respondents agreed that  the counselling internship should be conducted on-line to support the trainees‘ counselling tasks. The majority of the respondents also showed a positive attitude towards the usage of a mobile counselling supervision system in fulfilling the tasks of counselling internship. The needs analysis provided a basic framework for the development of a mobile counselling system for supervisors and the trainee counselors to support supervision in a conventional manner as well as to reinforce the management of filing and records system continuously during the counselling internship. As such, the development of a mobile Counselling Internship Supervision system could assist the academic supervisors, the supervising counsellors and trainee counsellors in becoming more systematic while fulfilling the  maximum 5 supervisions as stated by the Malaysian Counselling Board.

INTRODUCTION:Health Technology Assessment (HTA) is a multidisciplinary activity that systematically examines different dimensions related to the direct and indirect consequences of health technologies when implemented in healthcare systems. HTA is developed by multidisciplinary teams in order to cover all the mentioned dimensions. However, the quality of the processes produced by HTA teams will depend upon the competencies that those teams will acquire and incorporate including knowledge, skills and attitudes (1). The aim of this research was to determine how well these dimensions and competencies are covered in HTA academic Masters degree courses and manuals.METHODS:We analyzed what had been done in terms of competencies definition in HTA: how it has been reflected; theoretically and according to the authors, and how competencies can be structured; know-how and values. We explored HTA manuals and HTA academic Masters degree courses. We searched in Google with specific terms: building capacities, HTA, programs, Masters, diplomas. We used the HTAi vortal and the information related to courses (for example Masters degrees) and HTA agencies and network webpages for programs. The inclusion criteria were formal programs that describe HTA capacity building and not partial teaching of certain aspects of HTA and we excluded non-recognized institutions, or where there was no description of the programs or lack of detail regarding objectives and competencies to be achieved.RESULTS:We found 105 courses or programs and analyzed 8 reports and 3 manuals. The main challenges that we faced were: that information was difficult to retrieve, not similarly structured, difficulties to find key information in webpages, no program description at all in some cases and the need to contact institutions staff or register as a student to receive the information and finally, it was difficult to obtain contact details of key people. We structured the information on competencies in knowledge, skills and attitudes.CONCLUSIONS:The analyzed Masters degree courses and manuals did not cover all of the dimensions of HTA analysis in an equal and standardized way. The ethical, legal, social and organizational aspects were lacking in some of the programs, while, on the contrary, clinical and economic aspects were substantially included. On the basis of the information retrieved it would be good to define core competencies for HTA.
