 Program/policy evaluation is a valuable tool that can help strengthen the quality of programs/policies and improve outcomes for the populations they serve. Program/policy evaluation answers basic questions about program/policy effectiveness. It involves collecting and analyzing information about program/policy activities, characteristics, and outcomes. This information can be used to ultimately improve program services or policy initiatives.

Nurses can play a very important role in assessing program/policy evaluation for the same reasons that they can be so important to program/policy design. Nurses bring expertise and patient advocacy that can add significant insight and impact. In this Assignment, you will practice applying this expertise and insight by selecting an existing healthcare program or policy evaluation and reflecting on the criteria used to measure the effectiveness of the program/policy.

To Prepare:

• Review the Healthcare Program/Policy      Evaluation Analysis Template provided in the Resources.
• Select an existing healthcare program or policy evaluation or choose one of interest to you.
• Review community, state, or federal policy evaluation and reflect on the criteria used to measure the effectiveness of the program or policy described.

The Assignment: (3-4 pages)

Based on the program or policy evaluation you selected, complete the Healthcare Program/Policy Evaluation Analysis Template. Be sure to address the following:

• Describe the healthcare program      or policy outcomes.
• How was the success of the      program or policy measured?
• How many people were reached by      the program or policy selected?
• How much of an impact was      realized with the program or policy selected?
• At what point in program      implementation was the program or policy evaluation conducted?
• What data was used to conduct      the program or policy evaluation?
• What specific information on      unintended consequences was identified?
• What stakeholders were      identified in the evaluation of the program or policy? Who would benefit      most from the results and reporting of the program or policy evaluation?      Be specific and provide examples.
• Did the program or policy meet      the original intent and objectives? Why or why not?
• Would you recommend      implementing this program or policy in your place of work? Why or why not?
• Identify at least two ways that      you, as a nurse advocate, could become involved in evaluating a program or      policy after 1 year of implementation.

Respond to all 2 discussion boards. post at least one substantive comment (or comment and question) in each of the student-led discussions. Your comments should demonstrate critical thinking, extend the conversation and add to the class.  Responses should be more than just one or two sentences. 

please cite all sources in APA format 

In Chapter 13, you learned there are different messaging concepts/approaches: Benefits, Fear Appeal, Perceived Threat, Hope, Barriers, Consequences, Action Steps, etc. Find 2 health messages, each using a different approach, and compare the messages. Which message concept/approach is more effective? Did one message/health campaign have a bigger impact than another? Is there evidence that some approaches work better than others? Are some message approaches more appropriate for specific populations or health issues? A possible format for your paper: Introduction to the 2 health concepts/approaches and the 2 health campaigns; Discussion of the health campaigns, their target audience, their messaging format, etc.; Comparison to which health message is more effective and why; Conclusion. 

Your paper should be 2-3 pages, 12-point font, double-spaced, and in APA 7th edition format. 

You will include the primary NCHEC Area of Responsibility and Competency you are addressing in a separate paragraph and explain how you are addressing each.

The purpose of this assignment is to identify an area or topic within health care that you would like to further understand.

In this assignment, you will begin to create a research rough draft based on the information you prepared in the “Identification of a Research Topic” from the topic 1 assignment. Utilize the GCU library and locate three additional articles that will complement and support your specific topic of interest. In a 1,500- to 2,000-word research rough draft, utilizing the research process (refer to your text, Understanding Research), include the following:

1. An introduction to the topic.
2. An explanation of how the articles are used in scholarly research within health care as it relates to the allied health care profession.
3. A discussion of the ethical considerations for data collection.
4. An explanation of what the data reveals in terms of statistical analysis, including quantitative and qualitative. Include a discussion of the conclusions that can be made from the data and how it would be applied to the health care setting.
5. An evaluation, based on the research, of whether there is enough information to make a decision on the effectiveness on the topic as it relates to the allied health care professional.
6. A summary of the conclusions from the articles.

Support your rough draft with at least 3 scholarly resources.

Prepare this assignment according to the APA guidelines found in the APA Style Guide, located in the Student Success Center. An abstract is not required.

This assignment uses a rubric. Please review the rubric prior to beginning the assignment to become familiar with the expectations for successf

1- Discussion Question: Read a qualitative nursing study. If a different investigator had gone into the field to study the same problem, how likely is it that the conclusions would have been the same? How transferable are the research findings? 

2- 3 paragraphs 3 sentences each

3- APA style

4- 2 references

1. Explain how you could incorporate parts of the framework for pathophysiology in patient charting (Chapter 1).
2. Give an example of how the body adapts to stress (Chapter 2).
3. Explain the mechanism of cell injury and give an example (Chapter 4).
4. Using the website cancer.net, pick a type of cancer and summarize the latest research about that cancer, using terms from Chapters 1, 2, 4, and 7 and the website.

In all responses, be sure to paraphrase in your own words and cite your supporting sources in APA format. Supporting resources can be your textbook or another scholarly source. Your textbook is provided below as a reference and citation sample.
