Health Education Research
|October 28, 1999
Summary
This study introduces a story/dialogue method for health promotion knowledge development and program evaluation. This qualitative approach supports practitioners when conventional methods fall short.
Area of Science:
- Health Promotion
- Qualitative Research
- Program Evaluation
Background:
- Conventional methodologies in health promotion often fail to capture the nuances of practitioner experiences.
- There is a need for alternative approaches that align with constructivist and postpositivist paradigms.
Purpose of the Study:
- To describe a novel 'story/dialogue method' for health promotion knowledge development and program evaluation.
- To provide an example of its application and discuss its utility for practitioners.
Main Methods:
- The story/dialogue method is derived from constructivist, feminist, and critical pedagogical theories.
- It utilizes qualitative methods, structuring group dialogue around case stories.
- Focuses on generative practice themes relevant to health promotion.
Main Results:
- The method has been primarily used for practitioner training.
- It offers a framework for addressing concerns that conventional methodologies do not fit all health promotion practice.
- Demonstrates applicability in organizational development and evaluation.
Conclusions:
- The story/dialogue method provides a viable alternative for health promotion knowledge development and evaluation.
- It is particularly relevant for training and supporting practitioners.
- Its strengths, weaknesses, and relevance to health promotion are discussed.

At the different levels of the healthcare system, we see varying methods of healthcare used. These methods include managed care systems, case management, and primary healthcare.
Managed Care System:
The managed care system is designed to control the cost while maintaining the quality of care. The patient's care from admission to discharge is planned by the primary care provider or the case manager, also known as the gatekeeper. In a managed care system, the number of care providers is...

A model is a theoretical way to understand a concept or an idea. Models can overcome barriers to health regardless of diverse economic and cultural backgrounds. In addition, models make the task easier by providing different ways to approach complex issues. There are two major health promotion models: the health belief model and the health promotion model.

The person's health status fluctuates continually, varying from being in good health to becoming ill and returning to being healthy. To understand the concept of illness prevention, there are two models. First, the health-illness continuum model is a graphic representation of an individual's wellness. It states that a person is considered healthy in the absence of physical disease and the presence of good emotional health.

A successful patient outcome depends mainly on the evaluation stage of the nursing process. Evaluation determines effectiveness by reviewing what was done previously after the completion of nursing interventions. Every time a healthcare professional steps in or administers treatment, they must reassess or evaluate the action to ensure the intended result. During the evaluation phase, there are three probable patient outcomes:
