How practitioner, organisational and system-level factors act to influence health promotion evaluation capacity: validation of a conceptual framework

Mental illness is an epidemic in the United States, and there is a gap in care due to minimal integrated programs and transitional community resources. This paper reports the development of a conceptual framework to identify challenges facing families living with mental illness and the integral role nursing plays to positively impact health. An inductive, bottom-up approach was used to develop the Nursing Science, Mental Illness and Family model. Concepts clustered around family health, cycle of suffering, improving outcomes, healthcare policy, and nursing science. Successful, goal-directed interprofessional collaborations are essential for individual-, family-, and system-level interventions to be effective.

Abstract This article develops a conceptual framework for access to justice as a ground of judicial review in English law. We identify a hitherto undertheorised strand of cases which enable courts to review policy within proper constitutional bounds: the doctrine of systemic unfairness, which focuses on risks inherent in a system as a whole. In the context of access to justice, the relevant systemic risk is one of futility: a rational litigant’s inability to vindicate a meritorious claim. Proving the required facts in the context of judicial review proceedings is not an easy task. Litigants must look beyond the realisation of harm to the mechanisms which put access to justice at risk. It is only where the combined impact or cost of system-level risk is particularly severe that a policy-level challenge will succeed on access to justice grounds.

Public health managers' perceptions of enablers and barriers to social marketing use among public health nurses were examined. Employing qualitative, action research methods, this study incorporated focus groups using nominal group process and group discussion. Eleven public health managers from large urban, small urban, and rural Canadian public health departments participated. Content analysis was conducted on the focus group transcripts, and trustworthiness was strengthened through independent review by participants and subject experts. Several enablers to social marketing use were identified in the areas of educational preparation of nurses and the nature of public health nursing practice. The majority of barriers to social marketing use related to human and financial resources at the system level. In addition, we identified as imperative that managers at those levels responsible for budgetary planning understand the principles of social marketing more fully if they are to be expected to support its use. Social marketing has the potential to positively influence the health behavior of populations. However, if public health nurses and other health-promotion professions are to incorporate this health-promotion strategy more effectively into their practice, issues related to its use must be addressed.

British Columbia Mental Health and Substance Use Services (BCMHSUS) provides mental health services, education, and health promotion initiatives to people with mental health and substance use issues across the province of BC. As a Project Coordinator in the Patient and Community Engagement portfolio, I performed a variety of work to support patient and family engagement under the newly created Patient Engagement Framework. Engaging patients and families as active participants and co-designers of their own care is an important component of patient-centred care that improves healthcare quality, health outcomes, and overall experiences of care at a system level. To work towards this goal, I developed a trauma-informed policy and procedure for BCMHSUS on patient and family engagement to serve as a guideline for giving patients and families a voice in the design and delivery of their mental health care. I also drafted two patient engagement playbooks called Managing Conflict and Respecting Emotions and Engaging Mandated and Incarcerated Patients, which focus on barriers and solutions to engaging patients in vulnerable circumstances. Moreover, I worked with provincial stakeholders to write the annual report for the BC Partners, which is a collaborative mental health promotion partnership between BCMHSUS and 7 provincial organizations with different mental health and substance use specialties (e.g. BC Schizophrenia Society, The Mood Disorders Association of BC, Canadian Institute for Substance Use Research, etc.). I also performed a literature review of the evidence supporting family engagement in patient- and family-centred care, and I made infographics and other visual designs to translate research and knowledge in visually appealing ways. Overall, my practicum helped me contribute towards advancing public mental health by valuing patients' knowledge, skills, and lived experience in the health system and working on a variety of initiatives to promote mental health in the province.

Barriers And Opportunities

Few studies have conceptualized evaluation capacity for community organizations (COs), and even fewer in the specific context of COs in Québec. The objective of this article, therefore, is twofold: 1) to identify barriers to, and opportunities for, building evaluation capacity among OCs and 2) to verify the extent to which an existing conceptual framework of organizational evaluation capacity established by Isabelle Bourgeois and J. Bradley Cousins could be useful in its current form for understanding the evaluation capacity needs of COs in Québec. We first conducted a review of the scientific literature to identify the barriers and opportunities for evaluation capacity building in OCs, and analyzed the results of the literature review against the conceptual framework. Our results point to the fact that Bourgeois and Cousins’ framework is appropriate for understanding the key factors influencing the capacity to do and to use evaluations among OCs. Additional efforts would, however, be necessary to improve the framework’s compatibility with the practices and values of COs in Québec.Les capacités en évaluation sont peu étudiées et encore moins conceptualisées en fonction du contexte particulier des organismes communautaires (OC) du Québec. Ainsi, l’objectif de cet article est double : 1) identifier chez les OC les barrières et les éléments qui facilitent le renforcement des capacités en évaluation et 2) vérifier dans quelle mesure un cadre conceptuel établi par Isabelle Bourgeois et J. Bradley Cousins pourrait s’avérer propice dans sa forme actuelle pour l’analyse des capacités en évaluation du milieu communautaire québécois. Nous avons d’abord identifié les barrières et les éléments qui facilitent le renforcement des capacités en évaluation des OC à partir d’une recherche documentaire d’articles scientifiques pertinents pour ensuite effectuer une analyse à partir du cadre conceptuel choisi. Nos résultats démontrent que le cadre conceptuel de Bourgeois et Cousins est pertinent pour répertorier les facteurs clés influençant la capacité à effectuer et à utiliser l’évaluation chez les OC. Des efforts supplémentaires seraient toutefois nécessaires pour améliorer la compatibilité du cadre conceptuel avec les pratiques et valeurs du milieu communautaire québécois.

Service Modelling

In the context of a network of enterprises, the competitive advantage of each enterprise depends greatly on the ability to use network architectures to collaborate efficiently in business services. The paper introduces a conceptual framework, called the CBSM (Collaborative Business Service Modelling) framework, which provides an intellectual foundation for understanding thoroughly and modelling effectively collaborative business services. The paper begins by presenting the necessity for and principles of the conceptual framework. Then it presents the architecture of the CBSM framework that consists of three different levels: the service level for service operation, the service system level for service creation, and the service value creation network level for service proposal. The paper continues with a discussion and review of the relevant literature, followed by the conclusion and suggestions for further research.

AbstractBreakthrough technologies introduce a radically new capability or a drastic performance improvement. However, the existing engineering design literature does not specifically pay attention to them. In this paper, we present a conceptual framework for breakthrough technologies, aiming for a more detailed characterization of breakthrough technologies. First, based on a literature survey, we reflect on the relationship between breakthrough technology and innovation. In addition, we explore the relationship between breakthrough technologies at the component and system level. Next, we propose a conceptual framework with dimensions in which breakthroughs may occur and the corresponding expansion of concepts and knowledge, drawing from C-K theory. We subsequently apply the framework to the case of a laser sail-propelled interstellar probe. We conclude that the relationship between component and system-level breakthrough technologies requires further exploration. Furthermore, the coupling between the breakthrough technology and market breakthrough in the form of a new business model seems interesting for future work.
