Summary
Public health practice needs more evidence. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention developed the Enhanced Evaluability Assessment (EEA) to efficiently identify effective public health models for replication and expansion.
Area of Science:
- Public Health
- Program Evaluation
- Health Services Research
Background:
- Practice-based evidence is crucial for guiding public health initiatives.
- Existing evaluation methods can be resource-intensive.
- A need exists for efficient tools to assess program effectiveness.
Purpose of the Study:
- To introduce the Enhanced Evaluability Assessment (EEA) as a novel approach.
- To streamline evaluability and effectiveness evaluation processes.
- To provide a replicable and cost-effective method for public health program assessment.
Main Methods:
- Combined and streamlined components of evaluability assessment and effectiveness evaluation.
- Developed a step-by-step process for the EEA.
- Applied the EEA framework to identify and evaluate public health models.
Main Results:
- The EEA offers a viable and less costly alternative for evaluators and practitioners.
- This approach facilitates the rapid identification of effective public health models.
- The EEA is adaptable to various public health topics beyond cardiovascular health.
Conclusions:
- The Enhanced Evaluability Assessment (EEA) provides a practical method for generating practice-based evidence.
- EEA supports the replication and expansion of successful public health interventions.
- This streamlined evaluation approach can enhance the efficiency of public health practice.

01:29Self-Evaluation Maintenance Model
389
The Self-Evaluation Maintenance (SEM) model offers a psychological framework to understand how individuals’ self-esteem is influenced by the achievements of others, particularly those with whom they share close personal bonds. The SEM model operates when personal rather than social identity guides individuals. Central to this model is the notion that individuals have an inherent desire to preserve a favorable self-image, which is continuously shaped by interpersonal comparisons and...

Social psychologists have documented that feeling good about ourselves and maintaining positive self-esteem is a powerful motivator of human behavior (Tavris & Aronson, 2008). In the United States, members of the predominant culture typically think very highly of themselves and view themselves as good people who are above average on many desirable traits (Ehrlinger, Gilovich, & Ross, 2005). Often, our behavior, attitudes, and beliefs are affected when we experience a threat to our...

01:15Nursing Evaluation
4.7K
The evaluation stage signals the end of the nursing process. The nurse gathers evaluative data to assess whether or not the patient has attained the expected results. Whereas the nurse collects data in the nursing assessment to identify the patient's health concerns, the evaluation stage data determines if the indicated health issues are resolved. Evaluative data collection includes two sections: the data acquired to evaluate patient outcomes and the time criteria for data collection.

The halo effect is a cognitive bias in which an individual's overall impression influences judgments about their specific traits. This psychological phenomenon leads people to associate positive characteristics with those they perceive as generally good and negative characteristics with those they view as bad. This effect is particularly influential in social perception, professional evaluations, and decision-making processes.The Psychological Basis of the Halo EffectThe halo effect is rooted...

2.6K
Cognitive psychologist Richard Lazarus proposed the cognitive-mediational theory of emotions, which emphasizes how individuals' assessments of stressors significantly affect their experience of stress. According to Lazarus, the stress response is determined by a two-step appraisal process: primary appraisal and secondary appraisal. These cognitive appraisals help individuals evaluate the potential impact of a stressor and determine the adequacy of their coping resources.

1.5K
Charting by Exception, or CBE, is a method of documentation used in healthcare, particularly in nursing, that focuses on documenting only significant or abnormal findings rather than recording every detail. This approach aims to streamline the documentation process, improve efficiency, and ensure that healthcare providers can quickly identify deviations from normalcy in patient assessments.
In CBE, healthcare professionals establish predefined standards of practice that define what constitutes...
