The output will be an assessment of patients' self-care ability prior to treatment, to inform the development of a teaching plan to improve self-care. Tables and charts are presented to explain the statistical treatment and presentation of results.
This document defines key terms related to theoretical and conceptual frameworks, including concepts, constructs, variables, conceptual framework, and theoretical framework. It explains that a conceptual framework consists of concepts and proposed relationships between concepts, while a theoretical framework is based on existing theories. The purposes of conceptual and theoretical frameworks are to clarify concepts, propose relationships between concepts, provide context for interpreting findings, and stimulate further research and theory development.
This document discusses theoretical and conceptual frameworks. It defines a theoretical framework as providing rationale for relationships between variables in a research study, analogous to the frame of a house. A conceptual framework outlines courses of action or preferred approaches. The document describes developing frameworks by selecting concepts and relationships, and defining concepts operationally. Frameworks guide entire research studies by informing hypotheses, observations, designs, and interpretations. Theories can be descriptive, explanatory, or predictive and are tested through different research types. Nursing frameworks contribute unique perspectives on persons, environments, health, and nursing. Frameworks should be clearly identified and defined, with logical relationships supported by literature.

The document summarizes a regional workshop held in Israel that focused on enhancing vocational education (VET) policies and practices to promote greater social inclusion. The workshop brought together delegations from 9 countries to reflect on findings from a cross-country research project examining how VET systems can either promote or hinder social inclusion. Key findings from the research were that VET systems often reproduce social inequities, with family background strongly influencing school selection and outcomes. The workshop emphasized the need for more equitable VET policies and practices that provide disadvantaged youth fair opportunities, including improving school resources, curricula, career guidance and connections to employers.
The document summarizes research from the Office of Research-Innocenti on using fiscal policy analysis to promote equity for children. It presents a framework that integrates child-focused budget analysis, child poverty measurement, and fiscal incidence analysis. As a proof of concept, the framework was applied in Uganda. Key findings included that targeting social transfers based on multidimensional child poverty measures or monetary poverty could help reduce child poverty but with small impacts due to low benefit levels. Policy simulations found that reducing education gaps had the largest potential impact on child poverty at relatively low cost. The research aims to develop the approach into a global public good tool to generate evidence and inform policy discussions on equity for children.
Strong Foundations recommended four areas to better achieve ECCE: 1) move ECCE up agendas, 2) increase public funding and target interventions, 3) upgrade the ECCE workforce, and 4) improve monitoring. However, progress has been insufficient. Six challenges remain: 1) ECCE is neglected in frameworks, 2) policy frameworks are weak, 3) financing is insufficient, 4) benefits do not reach those most in need, 5) quality is variable, and 6) monitoring is inadequate. To make progress, advocacy must be improved to increase political commitment and financing issues must be resolved by examining innovative techniques to increase domestic and international funding for ECCE.
