This study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of a Social Technology of Professional Training for an Intervention involving victims of sexual abuse (STPT-SA) by assessing the impact and learning transfer levels. Thirty-two psychologists (94% female) participated in this research, with a mean age of 35.5 years (SD = 10.7). The impact and learning transfer levels were evaluated at two moments, at the end of instructional modules and after the end of the STPT-SA. High levels of impact and learning transfer were observed in the first and second assessments. These findings suggest that STPT-SA is an effective intervention for professional training of psychologists who provide care to victims of sexual violence. Furthermore, it was observed that levels of impact can predict learning transfer rates, in the same way as the learning transfer predicts impact.Downloads
