SBC Workshop: Behavior Change in the Age of Complexity: Implications for Monitoring and Evaluation
Alternative approaches, follow the feedback, plan for adaptation rahaim updated
This document discusses alternative approaches to behavior change programs in complex environments. It emphasizes the importance of engagement, listening, and adapting to feedback. Key points discussed include:
- Programs should focus on applying various data sources, including information that is often overlooked but important for understanding community perspectives.
- Engaging community members in data collection can provide both qualitative and quantitative data on behaviors and experiences with the intervention. This requires strategies to relay this data back to the project team.
- While data collection has costs, integrating audience feedback directly into planning and implementation can deepen engagement at a lower cost. Flexibility is important to allow for quick adjustments.
- Possible adjustments based on feedback include modifying messages, messengers
2010 Department of Community Resource Development Symposium-4
The document summarizes a nonprofit organization and board development program presented at a symposium. It describes the program's objectives, curriculum, results, and reflections. The program consisted of 5 workshops covering essential nonprofit topics. Over 75% of participants reported an increase in knowledge, averaging 1.28 points higher on a post-workshop questionnaire. Follow-up interviews found some organizational changes occurred as a result of the program. The presenters thank the Dominion Foundation for providing financial support for the program.
Design for complexity, using evaluative methods
Programs can be designed to be more likely to be effective in producing positive change in settings that can be characterized as complex adaptive systems. This presentation describes what we already know about what makes programs more likely to be successful in changing behaviour. Next, it explores the organizational blind spots and human nature which prevent us from making better designs. Finally, it shows how evaluators can guide better program design using standard and emerging methods.

Outcome Mapping is a planning, monitoring, and evaluation methodology focused on changes in behavior of social actors that a project works with, rather than direct attribution of impact. It views development as a complex process influenced by many interrelated factors and actors. The methodology focuses on outcomes as changes in behaviors, relationships, actions, and policies of boundary partners. It helps contribute to long-term impact through progress markers that track boundary partners' progress along three levels of change from early responses to deep transformation.Recommended

The document discusses developing a shared measurement toolkit to measure the impact of rehabilitation services on offenders' family relationships. It describes:
1) Conducting a literature review to identify key outcomes and existing toolkits, then consulting providers and commissioners to select outcomes to focus on.
2) Developing and piloting a standardized toolkit of 25 scales measuring outcomes across five areas: partner, child, wider family, parenting, and peer relationships.
3) The toolkit will be piloted with an intervention and comparison group design to allow pre- and post-measurement and comparison of results. Initial pilot feedback identified areas for refinement.
Monitoring stakeholder engagement
The document discusses the development of a monitoring and evaluation (M&E) strategy for PRISE, a research consortium working in East Africa, West Africa, and Central/South Asia. It outlines five key monitoring areas for PRISE: 1) strategy and direction, 2) management, 3) outputs, 4) uptake and outcomes, and 5) context. For each area, it identifies key evaluation questions and discusses challenges in implementing the M&E strategy, such as defining outcomes and distributing monitoring responsibilities across partners and levels.
Searching for outcomes in rural Tanzania: Harvesting directly from those infl...
The benefits and challenges of using Outcome Harvesting to evaluate a short-term intervention are explored using the example of an 18 month social change project supported by the UK Department for International Development in Tanzania. The project was that was highly ambitious: it sought to influence changes in gender attitudes and behaviour of the general public in Tanzania. Challenges included the lack of outcome indications in project document and the lack of knowledge of outcomes among project personnel. Outcome Harvesting was adapted to allow the harvesting of outcomes using focus groups of those the project sought to influence directly. The concept of ‘proto-outcome’ was used for suggestions of attitude changes that may lead ultimately to behaviour changes. Substantiation of outcomes involved not only third parties but direct observation. The resulting descriptions of outcomes and the evaluation findings proved valuable for learning in the organisation, Search for Common Ground.
OM for policy influencing
Outcome Mapping (OM) is a participatory method for planning, monitoring, and evaluating projects focused on social and organizational learning. It is oriented towards changes in behavior of those the project works with rather than direct results. OM recognizes that policy change is complex, unstable, non-linear, and beyond a project's control but subject to influence. It focuses on a project's contribution rather than attribution, and identifies and focuses efforts on key agents of change. OM monitors behavioral changes in target actors and their environment over time.
Communication Workshop: Transforming data
This document discusses how to transform data into information and evidence to inform health policy and programming. It emphasizes that data analysis and interpretation, as well as effective communication and dissemination, are key steps to knowledge brokering. Different types of evidence are needed for various users and purposes. Comparisons of data over time, between groups, and with benchmarks can help turn data into useful information. Communicating evidence in a timely, relevant, and easy to understand way is important to inform decision-making and improve health outcomes. Knowledge management strategies can help strengthen the flow of data and information between producers and end users.
Stakeholder Engagement in the Context of Conflict Analysis and Intervention
This document discusses stakeholder engagement in the context of conflict analysis and intervention. It defines stakeholders as any person, group, or organization that can impact or be impacted by an action. The document outlines different types of stakeholders and explains engagement as understanding stakeholders' views and being accountable to them. It also presents models for analyzing stakeholders, including identifying their interests and levels of influence. Finally, it discusses best practices for stakeholder engagement strategies and international standards for reporting on such activities.
Inspiring impact - let your impact do the asking
The document discusses the importance of impact measurement for organizations. It introduces the Code of Good Impact Practice and an online self-assessment toolkit called Measuring Up! that is based on the code's 8 principles. The document also covers defining impact, choosing impact measurement tools, and communicating impact results to both internal and external stakeholders. Funders want evidence of impact, so impact practice is important for organizations to demonstrate the difference they make and ensure their work is effective.

Training module on stakeholder engagement
Engaging stakeholders is important for effective climate adaptation for several reasons:
1) Climate adaptation requires making changes that are judged based on both climate impacts and other social and economic factors, which benefits from input from a variety of stakeholders.
2) Implementing adaptation measures often requires collaboration between different groups, mandates, resources, and expertise that are not concentrated in any single entity.
3) Involving stakeholders in the process can increase acceptance of changes and support for adaptation.
Stakeholder engagement may be beneficial at different stages of the adaptation process, including problem identification and analysis, planning interventions, implementation, and evaluation. The stakeholders engaged will depend on the issue and may include social groups, organizations, professionals,
Stakeholder engagement
Stakeholder engagement involves identifying those who may be affected by or can influence project decisions, and actively involving them through a two-way process of providing information and seeking input. It is important for effective decision making, building trust, and reducing potential conflicts or issues. Key tools for stakeholder engagement include identifying stakeholders and assessing their interests and power over the project, creating matrices to define roles and responsibilities, and visualizing dependencies to help manage relationships between teams. Regularly reviewing engagement tools helps ensure all important stakeholders are involved and potential blockers are addressed.

It also outlines different levels and types of participation based on models like Arnstein's ladder of participation and Wilcox's wheel of participation. The document provides best practices for effective stakeholder participation, including ensuring empowerment and equity among participants, involving stakeholders early and throughout the process, representing all relevant stakeholders, and selecting methods tailored to the specific decision-making context. It emphasizes that facilitation skills and integrating local and scientific knowledge are essential for robust participatory processes.
Communications plan
This communication plan outlines steps for launching an organizational change initiative, including gaining support from management, educating staff on the need for change, and enabling individuals to understand how the change will impact them. It recommends establishing "Change Process Teams" for collaborative work and information sharing. The plan also describes methods for keeping people informed throughout the process, such as collecting and sharing feedback, and addressing negative responses to the change through democratic discussion and differentiation in presentations. The overall goals are to increase opportunities for input, teamwork, and a stronger organizational culture through an inclusive process focused on continuous improvement.
Introduction to Outcome Mapping
A slide set for a one hour presentation on OM. Includes principles of OM, overview of steps and a brief example.
Common Ground - Jeremy Nicholls
This document discusses sources of confusion in measuring social impact and proposes common principles. It notes that while there are many ways to measure different social impacts, there are not many ways to decide which outcomes to measure. The document suggests key questions to answer to understand the results, including what outcomes are important to manage and the extent to which outcomes were caused by activities. It discusses stakeholder involvement in determining these questions and principles. Finally, it considers standardizing principles for social impact analysis and how that could be achieved.
Use - Measuring Impact to Improve Performance
The document discusses using impact measurement to drive social change. It describes how impact measurement can be used to:
1) Raise social investment by defining metrics to measure improved social outcomes that investors require for payment;
2) Improve performance of social programs by collecting daily data, conducting regular reviews, and producing dashboards to monitor outcomes and service delivery; and
3) Build an evidence base by measuring the impact of interventions on target populations in order to identify services that are effective.

The presentation emphasizes the importance of clarity on results and intentionality on partnership vision, accountability, and processes to support success.
Final Evaluation Report 2015
The report evaluates the Inspiring Women: Empowering Communities project from 2011-2015. It found that over 2,000 women accessed services like English language courses, exercise groups, and advice services. Participants reported high satisfaction, improved mental health and confidence, ability to make positive life choices, and stronger community links. Case studies showed how the project helped women with issues like benefits, debt, housing, and education. Recommendations focused on expanding mental health support and creating opportunities for participants to take leadership roles.
The scientific evidence: to measure in order to improve impact
In this presentation, Ilf Bencheikh will detail the importance of rigorous impact evaluation methods to assess the true effect of nutrition programs.
Once presented the methodological challenges, he will share the results of studies run by J-PAL researchers in the nutrition field, mostly in India and China. The learnings that will be drawn will be about the positive impact of well-conceived nutrition programs, but also about the right incentives to reach behavioral change. Scientific impact evaluation is a powerful tool to understand how people really behave and which are the best ways to help them improve their lives.

Interested in learning how to evaluate your policy influence?
Do you promote the uptake and dissemination of population health interventions? Are you interested in exploring public health–related case studies of policy influence? The Guide to Policy-Influence Evaluation can help!
This guide was developed by the Public Health Agency of Canada’s Innovation Strategy and produced by Cathexis Consulting.
How can the Guide to Policy-Influence Evaluation help you?
The Guide to Policy-Influence Evaluation was developed to help organizations use policy influence to improve the uptake and evaluation of evidence-based population health interventions. This process is divided into the four steps of evaluation planning. Each step includes two or more resources to support it. The resources are then summarized and important highlights are presented as they related to each step.
This webinar includes an overview of the Guide by its developers, followed by a presentation from a community based organization who evaluated the impact on policies within their work to promote healthier weights.
The Guide to Policy-Influence Evaluation includes three public health–related case studies:
•Healthy weights among Aboriginal children and youth
•Anti-bullying for primary schools
•Food security and healthy weights

Presentation_Wesseling - Private Public Partnerships and CKDu
This document discusses the epidemic of chronic kidney disease of unknown etiology (CKDu) affecting agricultural workers along the Pacific coast of Central America. It provides evidence that the disease has an occupational etiology related to heat stress and dehydration experienced by sugarcane and other field workers. Studies show physiological changes in workers consistent with heat stress and dehydration across work shifts. Longitudinal studies find declines in kidney function over harvest seasons among heat-exposed occupations. Intervention studies reducing heat stress through water, rest, and shade have shown reduced declines in kidney function. While some non-occupational factors may also contribute, the evidence strongly suggests that prolonged occupational heat stress is a primary driver of the CKDu epidemic.
Presentation_NCDs - Private Public Partnerships and CKDu
Non-communicable diseases like cardiovascular disease, cancer, chronic respiratory disease, and diabetes are leading causes of death and disability globally but receive little focus from global health initiatives. While communicable diseases have declined in recent decades, deaths from non-communicable diseases have increased and pose growing health and economic challenges as treatments remain limited. Experts call for greater prioritization and resources for non-communicable diseases on the global health agenda.

Presentation_Discussion - Norms Shifting Interventions
Participants in a small group discussed how to integrate norms-shifting interventions into current projects and programs. They considered what new partnerships would be needed when working to shift social norms and what evidence of the effectiveness of norms-shifting interventions should be collected, for whom, and how.
Presentation_Krieger - Norms Shifting Interventions
The document discusses the origins and theories of social norms. It notes that early theorists like Durkheim, Weber, and Ogburn contributed to understanding where norms come from and how they guide behavior. Parsons further explored how members of society are socialized to norms. Later, feminist anthropologists studied norms and social control, especially regarding gender. The document contrasts philosophical, psychological, and anthropological approaches to studying norms and culture. It argues that knowledge of cultural norms can help reduce unexpected outcomes in social science and shift narratives to achieve behavior change. The example of the Albania Family Planning Project shows how understanding local norms was key to successfully promoting contraceptive use.
Presentation_NSI - Norms Shifting Interventions
This document discusses the key attributes of norms-shifting interventions. It identifies several attributes that make an intervention effective at shifting social norms, including seeking community-level change, engaging people at multiple levels, correcting misperceptions around harmful behaviors, confronting power imbalances related to gender, creating safe spaces for critical reflection, rooting the issue within community values, accurately assessing norms, using organized diffusion, and creating positive new norms. The document provides examples and explanations for each of these attributes.
Presentation_Igras - Norms Shifting Interventions
This document discusses using theory to inform the work of a learning collaborative (LC) on norms-shifting interventions for adolescent reproductive health. It outlines several relevant theories, including social norm and behavior change theory and communication and behavior change theories. It also discusses the value of "bottom-up" program change theory developed from implementation experience. The LC aims to facilitate collaboration between organizations, build knowledge, and develop shared tools to guide effective social norm measurement and practice at scale. By working collaboratively, the LC can take a more experimental approach in this nascent field while still being informed by relevant theories.
Presentation_Petraglia - Norms Shifting Interventions
This document discusses a constructivist perspective on norms and normative change. Some key points of constructivism are that knowledge is constructed through social interaction and prior experiences, and meaning is negotiated through language. Constructivism acknowledges that individuals belong to multiple reference groups and can choose which norms to follow in a given situation. Normative change interventions cannot directly manage or control norms, but may be able to influence them by facilitating dialogue, clarifying language, and encouraging ethical persuasion rather than direct attribution. Norms and beliefs are also difficult to accurately measure.
Presentation_Sprinkel - Norms Shifting Interventions
This presentation provides an overview of CARE's Tipping Point initiative which aims to address child, early and forced marriage in Nepal and Bangladesh through community programming and evidence generation. In Phase 1 from 2013-2017, the project worked with adolescents, parents and leaders in 16 districts across the two countries. Norms influencing child marriage include excluding girls' voices, controlling girls' sexuality, and perceptions of risks/benefits of marriage timing. Phase 2 implements a randomized control trial to generate evidence on effective gender transformative programming and the value of social norms approaches. Challenges included discussing sexuality while successes included girls gaining greater freedom and mobility.
Presentation_Tura - Norms Shifting Interventions
This document discusses the Care Group approach used in an intervention in Nepal from 2005-2010. It aimed to shift social norms around maternal and child health issues through community groups. Formative research identified key norms and barriers. Community groups engaged women to reflect critically and root issues in community values. Evaluations found sustained impact on behaviors like breastfeeding years later. Challenges included focusing directly on norm drivers and unrealistic community health worker workloads. Further research on accurate norm assessment and evidence-based norm-shifting is still needed.
Presentation_Sacher - Norms Shifting Interventions
This document summarizes Cristina Bicchieri's theory of social norms, which is grounded in philosophy, game theory, and psychology. The key aspects of the theory include conditional preferences that depend on social expectations, personal normative beliefs about what should be done, and expectations about what others in one's reference network do and think should be done. The implications for practice highlighted in the document include providing a theory of change, identifying the nature of norms to design appropriate interventions, and using data and illustrative vignettes to measure norms and guide social change programs.

The document describes an evidence-based advocacy model called the Family Planning – Sustainable Development Goals (FP-SDGs) model. The model allows users to quantify the impacts of different family planning scenarios on 13 Sustainable Development Goal indicators out to 2030 or 2050. Users input baseline data and create three future scenarios capturing various levels of ambition for family planning and other socioeconomic factors. The model then projects population figures and calculates outcomes for the SDG indicators. Results can support advocacy efforts to increase funding and prioritization of family planning programs and policies. Examples of the model's use in Malawi, Tanzania, and West Africa demonstrate its ability to quantify potential development impacts of expanding access to voluntary family planning.

THE SPECIAL SENCES- Unlocking the Wonders of the Special Senses: Sight, Sound...
Title: Unlocking the Wonders of the Special Senses: Sight, Sound, Smell, Taste, and Balance
Introduction:
Welcome to our captivating SlideShare presentation on the Special Senses, where we delve into the extraordinary capabilities that allow us to perceive and interact with the world around us. Join us on a sensory journey as we explore the intricate structures and functions of sight, sound, smell, taste, and balance.
The special senses are our primary means of experiencing and interpreting the environment, each sense providing unique and vital information that shapes our perceptions and responses. These senses are facilitated by highly specialized organs and complex neural pathways, enabling us to see a vibrant sunset, hear a symphony, savor a delicious meal, detect a fragrant flower, and maintain our equilibrium.
In this presentation, we will:
Visual System (Sight): Dive into the anatomy and physiology of the eye, exploring how light is converted into electrical signals and processed by the brain to create the images we see. Understand common vision disorders and the mechanisms behind corrective measures like glasses and contact lenses.
Auditory System (Hearing): Examine the structures of the ear and the process of sound wave transduction, from the outer ear to the cochlea and auditory nerve. Learn about hearing loss, auditory processing, and the advances in hearing aid technology.
Olfactory System (Smell): Discover the olfactory receptors and pathways that enable the detection of thousands of different odors. Explore the connection between smell and memory and the impact of olfactory disorders on quality of life.
Gustatory System (Taste): Uncover the taste buds and the five basic tastes – sweet, salty, sour, bitter, and umami. Delve into the interplay between taste and smell and the factors influencing our food preferences and eating habits.
Vestibular System (Balance): Investigate the inner ear structures responsible for balance and spatial orientation. Understand how the vestibular system helps maintain posture and coordination, and explore common vestibular disorders and their effects.
Through engaging visuals, interactive diagrams, and insightful explanations, we aim to illuminate the complexities of the special senses and their profound impact on our daily lives. Whether you're a student, educator, or simply curious about how we perceive the world, this presentation will provide valuable insights into the remarkable capabilities of the human sensory system.
Join us as we unlock the wonders of the special senses and gain a deeper appreciation for the intricate mechanisms that allow us to experience the richness of our environment.

Sectional dentures for microstomia patients.pptx
Microstomia, characterized by an abnormally small oral aperture, presents significant challenges in prosthodontic treatment, including limited access for examination, difficulties in impression making, and challenges with prosthesis insertion and removal. To manage these issues, customized impression techniques using sectional trays and elastomeric materials are employed. Prostheses may be designed in segments or with flexible materials to facilitate handling. Minimally invasive procedures and the use of digital technologies can enhance patient comfort. Education and training for patients on prosthesis care and maintenance are crucial for compliance. Regular follow-up and a multidisciplinary approach, involving collaboration with other specialists, ensure comprehensive care and improved quality of life for microstomia patients.

CONDUCTION SYSTEM OF THE HEART
ECG:
●ECG is a graphic record of the electrical activity of the heart.
●Electrical activity precedes the mechanical activity of the heart.
●Electrical activity has two phases:
Depolarization- contraction of muscle
Repolarization- relaxation of muscle
ECG Leads:
●6 Chest leads
●6 Limb leads
1. Bipolar Limb Leads:
Lead 1- Between right arm(-ve) and left arm(+ve)
Lead 2- Between right arm(-ve) and left leg(+ve)
Lead 3- Between left arm(-ve)
and left leg(+ve)
2. Augmented unipolar Limb Leads:
AvR- Right arm
AvL- Left arm
AvF- Left leg
3.Chest Leads:
V1 : Over 4th intercostal
space near right sternal margin
V2: Over 4th intercostal space near left sternal margin
V3:In between V2 and V4
V4:Over left 5th intercostal space on the mid
clavicular line
V5:Over left 5th intercostal space on the anterior
axillary line
V6:Over left 5th intercostal space on the mid
axillary line.
Normal ECG:
Waves of ECG:
P Wave
•P Wave is a positive wave and the first wave in ECG.
•It is also called as atrial complex.
Cause: Atrial depolarisation
Duration: 0.1 sec
QRS Complex:
•QRS’ complex is also called the initial ventricular complex.
•‘Q’ wave is a small negative wave. It is continued as the tall ‘R’ wave, which is a positive wave.
‘R’ wave is followed by a small negative wave, the ‘S’ wave.
Cause:Ventricular depolarization and atrial repolarization
Duration: 0.08- 0.10 sec
T Wave:
•‘T’ wave is the final ventricular complex and is a positive wave.
Cause:Ventricular repolarization Duration: 0.2 sec
Intervals and Segments of ECG:
P-R Interval:
•‘P-R’ interval is the interval
between the onset of ‘P’wave and onset of ‘Q’ wave.
•‘P-R’ interval cause atrial depolarization and conduction of impulses through AV node.
Duration:0.18 (0.12 to 0.2) sec
Q-T Interval:
•‘Q-T’ interval is the interval between the onset of ‘Q’
wave and the end of ‘T’ wave.
•‘Q-T’ interval indicates the ventricular depolarization
and ventricular repolarization,
i.e. it signifies the
electrical activity in ventricles.
Duration:0.4-0.42sec
S-T Segment:
•‘S-T’ segment is the time interval between the end of ‘S’ wave and the onset of ‘T’ wave.
Duration: 0.08 sec
R-R Interval:
•‘R-R’ interval is the time interval between two consecutive ‘R’ waves.
•It signifies the duration of one cardiac cycle.
Duration: 0.8 sec

nursing management of patient with Empyema ppt
prepared by Prof. BLESSY THOMAS, SPN
Empyema is a disease of respiratory system It is defines as the accumulation of thick, purulent fluid within the pleural space, often with fibrin development.
Empyema is also called pyothorax or purulent pleuritis.
It’s a condition in which pus gathers in the area between the lungs and the inner surface of the chest wall. This area is known as the pleural space.
Pus is a fluid that’s filled with immune cells, dead cells, and bacteria.
Pus in the pleural space can’t be coughed out. Instead, it needs to be drained by a needle or surgery.
Empyema usually develops after pneumonia, which is an infection of the lung tissue. it is mainly caused due in infectious micro-organisms. It can be treated with medications and other measures.
