Summary
Public health nurses applied leadership competencies gained from a training course to implement capstone projects, contributing to health systems strengthening and Universal Healthcare goals despite challenges.
Area of Science:
- Health Systems Strengthening
- Public Health Nursing Leadership
- Healthcare Policy Implementation
Background:
- Public health nurses (PHNs) are crucial for implementing the Universal Healthcare (UHC) Act of 2019 in the Philippines.
- PHNs require enhanced health systems approach competencies to effectively execute UHC provisions.
- A Leadership Development Course for Public Health Nurses (LDC-PHN) was created to address this competency gap.
Purpose of the Study:
- To evaluate the extent to which LDC-PHN participants applied acquired competencies in their work settings.
- To assess the workplace application of capstone projects as a manifestation of learned skills.
- To identify facilitators and barriers to the implementation of these capstone projects.
Main Methods:
- A multi-method study design based on Kirkpatrick's Model of Evaluation was employed.
- Data sources included Workplace Application Plans, questionnaires, interviews, focus group discussions (FGDs), and observation visits.
- Data collection occurred from May to December 2022, with qualitative data analyzed via content analysis.
Main Results:
- A majority of participants (61.9%) reported partial implementation, and 16.77% reported full implementation of their capstone projects.
- Support from supervisors and local chief executives facilitated implementation, while COVID-19 pandemic demands and election-related challenges posed barriers.
- Participants demonstrated increased capacity for leadership, innovation, and advocacy, alongside improved health service delivery and population outcomes.
Conclusions:
- LDC-PHN participants successfully utilized and applied acquired competencies in their work settings, contributing to health systems strengthening.
- Graduates actively addressed UHC challenges through their capstone projects, demonstrating practical application of leadership skills.
- The LDC-PHN effectively equipped PHNs to navigate barriers and contribute to UHC implementation.

3.3K
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.

Evaluation of the teaching process enables the nurse to determine if the patient's learning needs were met and if training was effective. If the expected outcomes are not met, the care plan is revised, and additional education or reinforcement is provided. Nurses can ask questions after the session or obtain feedback to assess the patient's understanding of the topic.
Nurses can use several methods to evaluate patient outcomes. For example, oral questions can assess cognitive learning,...
