The intervention group has the training by the methods of lectures, simulations, case studies and demonstrations using audiovisual media and modules, whereas the control group does so by reading modules. Results: After 14 days, there is an increase in the value of knowledge (p<0.05), the value of attitude (p>0.05) and a decrease in the value of skills (p >0.05).

Conclusions: Training on the management of children’s cough can improve the health workers’ value of knowledge, but not value of attitude and skills after the training.
