Evidence-Based Practice Proposal: Part F- Evaluation Process
The evaluation of developmental plans provides crucial information on the best approaches for progress. To estimate the success rate, the obtained data must be evaluated (Wettinger et al., 2014). The fundamental purpose of the approach is to fulfill the objectives and future study topics. A project’s success may be measured in a variety of ways. The capacity to analyze the obtained data is the key to these strategies’ effectiveness. The evaluation process is required in order to reach findings and provide suggestions for further study and development on a certain issue.
Rationale for the Methods
Data collection may be done in a variety of ways. These approaches are designed to demonstrate how realistic physical exercises might reduce agitation in dementia sufferers. Questionnaires are one of the most common methods of usage (Brace, 2018). Questionnaires were chosen based on the participants’ prior experience filling out similar paperwork. Another advantage is the lower cost as compared to other ways. The use of questionnaires merely necessitates duplicating the sheets on which the participants filled out their information. The methodology also takes into account the problem of privacy, allowing participants to feel at ease. The case ensures that information is delivered accurately since privacy and secrecy are guaranteed (Brace, 2018).
Outcome Measures
When the research yields favorable findings for the clients, it will be considered a success. As a result, the success will be defined by a decrease in the incidence of agitation among the individuals in a short period of time (Emre et al., 2014). One of the main goals is to provide a non-pharmaceutical alternative to drugs for lowering agitation. The project was measured by comparing the findings received after the participants completed an activity. The data collected after the activity is compared to the information gathered before engaging in physical activity.
How to Measure Outcomes
Validity, reliability, and applicability will be reviewed for all measured outcomes and instruments (Leung, 2015). The applicability of the tools and metrics is the first step in the evaluation process. The requirements and suitability of the cultural activities being produced are addressed for every questionnaire. They are tailored to the project, the participant, and the utility of the activities that are being designed (Leung, 2015). The applicability will be evaluated all through the programs, and adjustments to cultural elements will be made as needed. Throughout the process, the validity or “suitability” of the data gathering will be assessed. This will include keeping an eye on the cultural and contextual elements of the applications that are being utilized. This will guarantee that the techniques being used are acceptable for the context in which they are being utilized (Leung, 2015). The program’s real results will be used to verify the methodologies’ dependability. The dependability of the results may be validated if the results can be replicated or are consistent. It also goes without saying that if the results are inconsistent, the tools and processes will need to be reevaluated.
Strategies for poor results
Cultural practices are one domain where modification may be required during the study. There are several AN/AI tribes in the United States, and though many traditional activities overlap, each may place a greater emphasis on particular components (Emre et al., 2014). This will be assessed at the first interviews and throughout the initiation process with the Tribal Councils. As unfavorable replies come in, further interviews will be performed to see whether the reaction is related to culture or unmet individual requirements.
Implications for Practice and Future Research
Furthermore, the main conclusion of the findings is that physical activities are effective in lowering agitation. When satisfactory findings are obtained, the experiment suggests that physical activities may be used to reduce agitation in dementia patients (Emre et al., 2014). Furthermore, the project’s failure demonstrates the inverse, with physical activities proving to be useless in lowering agitation. As a result, it is necessary to explore further research that focuses on other techniques for reducing agitation in such individuals.
