“…They provided essential data to prepare monthly and quarterly feedback to individual providers and clinics. They documented the consistency and inconsistency of delivery (fidelity) of the SCRIPT methods (Hardin et al, 2005). If prenatal care service providers want to document delivery of SCRIPT methods, Health-Plan Employer Data and Information Set (HEDIS) performance standards and measures, process evaluation methods used in Trials II and III must be included as part of any evaluation of a new tobacco treatment for pregnant women (Windsor, Whiteside, Solomon, et al 2000, Windsor et al, 1993a, 2000a, 2000b, NCQA, 2009).…”

This two PHASE evaluation documented the delivery and effectiveness of evidenced-based health education methods by regular staff to pregnant smokers. During PHASE 1, 436 Medicaid patients were screened and 416 (95%) gave consent: 334 non-smokers and 102 smokers. This historical Comparison (C) group was assessed to document the “normal” pre-Trial smoking prevalence, patient non-disclosure (deception), and cessation rates at the 1st prenatal visit and during care. After this study, a Formative Evaluation of SCRIPT methods was conducted among 139 Experimental group patients and 126 Control group patients. During the PHASE 2, 6514 patients were screened over a 36 month period: 1736 (27%) were smokers and 1340 (77%) gave consent. After randomization, 247 became ineligible. The remaining 1093 smokers received brief routine advice to quit. The Experimental group (N=544) also received: a “Commit To Quit” video, “A Pregnant Woman’s Guide to Quit Smoking”, and counseling. Self-reports and saliva were collected at baseline, ≥ 60 days, and ≤ 90 days postpartum for cotinine analyses to document cessation and significant reduction (SR) rates. The PHASE 1 Formative Evaluation documented a 24% non-disclosure rate at the onset of care. It also confirmed a significantly higher Experimental (17.3%) versus Control group (8.8%) cessation rate and Experimental versus Control group SR rates of 22% and 16%. During PHASE 2, unplanned policy changes, and delivery of E group counseling procedures to 15%–20% of C group patients, resulted in a final E group cessation rate of 12% and C group rate of 10%. The E group SR rate of 18%, however, was significantly higher than the C group SR rate of 13%. Effectiveness varied by the stability of clinic infrastructure, and degree of fidelity of staff performance of assessment and intervention procedures. The methods and results of this study will assist future health education programs for pregnant smokers to plan and conduct process and impact evaluations in prenatal care.

“…The last purpose defined by the NEW LEAP RLC workgroup in designing the AFF was to strengthen C/PH nurse preceptors' and students' familiarity with the PHIs at all levels of nursing practice (individual/family, community, and systems). This need was identified in the literature by Tembreull and Schaffer (2005), who found lack of awareness of the PHI Wheel in practicing C/PH nurses, and Grumbach, Miller, Mertz, and Finnocchio (2004), who noted lack of confidence on the part of public health nurses in their educational preparedness to use the PHIs at the community and systems levels. The use of the PHI Wheel as a model for the AFF provided opportunities for preceptors and students to increase their awareness of and confidence in describing C/PH experiences using the PHI language at all levels of practice.…”

Evaluation of students in community and public health (C/PH) nursing clinical practica is a challenge, especially when preceptors are expected to evaluate students from different academic nursing programs. The need for a standardized student evaluation tool was identified during federally funded collaborative meetings held between C/PH academic and practice partners in Northeastern Wisconsin. This article focuses on the development and appraisal of the standardized Agency Feedback Form (AFF) for Student Practicum Experience in Community/Public Health Nursing, which was designed to meet the identified need. Four baccalaureate nursing programs implemented the AFF for 3 purposes: (1) to provide a consistent and easy evaluation form for preceptors to complete; (2) to communicate useful information about students' individual professional behaviors observed during practicum; and (3) to increase students' and preceptors' understanding of the population-based nursing interventions, using the Public Health Intervention Wheel. Future uses and implications of the AFF are also discussed.

“…However, although extensive outreach research has been conducted in nursing, public health and other fields, reaching an agreement on the clear definition of outreach remains a challenge [8]. Since the inception of the outreach program services for underserved communities several decades ago, the attributes of outreach and the role of the nurse and community team [9,10] has been continuously discussed. A previous study reported that outreach is one of the functions of public health nurses and particularly it is useful for meeting the needs of vulnerable populations, including high-risk groups [11].…”

Outreach programs are considered a key strategy for providing services to underserved populations and play a central role in delivering health-care services. To address this challenge, knowledge relevant to global health outreach programs has recently been expanded. The aims of this study were to analyze the knowledge structure and understand the trends in aspects over time and across regions using text network analysis with NetMiner 4.0. Data analysis by frequency, time and region showed that the central keywords such as patient, care, service and community were found to be highly related to the area, target population, purpose and type of services within the knowledge structure of outreach. As a result of performing topic modeling, knowledge structure in this area consisted of five topics: patient-centered care, HIV care continuum, services related to a specific disease, community-based health-care services and research and education on health programs. Our results newly identified that patient-centered care, specific disease and population have been growing more crucial for all times and countries by the examination of major trends in health-care related outreach research. These findings help health professionals, researchers and policymakers in nursing and public health fields in understanding and developing health-care-related outreach practices and suggest future research direction.
