IHP 670 Module Four Program Critique Guidelines and Rubric
Overview
You will complete five program cri�que assignments in the course to support your work as you prepare for your final project. These assignments ask that you cri�que a program described
within an iden�fied ar�cle located in the module’s resources. These ar�cles were chosen because they relate to the module’s topics and demonstrate some common problems that programs
encounter. In each assignment, you will have the opportunity to cri�que certain program components, such as resources, ac�vi�es, outcome measures, use of feedback loops, assump�ons,
and external barriers. Once planners have iden�fied the details for each of the program components, they must step back and assess how those components can best operate within the
program’s environment. That involves considering concepts such as cultural competency, systems thinking, ethical prac�ce, and others. You will focus on these different concepts, in turn,
through the program cri�ques. As you develop your program cri�que skills, you will be asked to iden�fy areas that could be or need to be improved and offer recommenda�ons.
In this assignment, you will cri�que a health or healthcare program selected for you. It is the program cri�que reading in the Resources sec�on of the module. This is the only reading that can
be used for this assignment. Describe the resource requirements of the given program and provide jus�fica�on for the inclusion or exclusion of resources used in the program. Also, offer
sugges�ons for improving the program’s resource use.
This assignment will familiarize you with the flaws and shor�alls in resource planning and help you understand how to avoid or address them.
Prompt
Write a program cri�que that cri�cally examines a health or healthcare program intended to meet a specific health need.
Specifically, you must address the following rubric criteria:
1. Resource Requirement: Describe whether the resources required for the given program were jus�fied. Consider the following ques�ons to
guide your response:
How does a program’s resource requirement planning influence the overall success of the program?
How did you conclude whether the resource requirements for the given program were jus�fied?
2. Improvement Areas: Describe two areas of improvement the organiza�on in the given scenario could consider regarding resource requirements. Consider the following ques�on to
guide your response:
How will your sugges�ons help improve the program’s overall success?
Note that all the claims in your deliverable should be evidence based. Your cita�ons should be from your independent search for evidence (not from the scenario, textbook, or module
resources) of credible sources and be current within the last five years. You are required to cite a minimum of two sources overall. Refer to the Shapiro Library Guide: Nursing—Graduate
located in the Start Here sec�on of the course for addi�onal support. If you need wri�ng support, access the Online Wri�ng Center through the Academic Support module of your course.

Abstract: Aim: Low-income Cantonese women aged 60 years and older are more
likely to have multiple non-communicable diseases (NCDs). Neither the independent
primary health care system nor the social work system is equipped to address their
complex needs regarding health and daily care. The objective of this study was
to design and evaluate a social worker-led self-management program for older
community-dwelling women with NCDs. Subject and methods: A total of 144 and 138
participants were recruited in the intervention and control groups, respectively, from
10 communities in Guangzhou, China. The intervention group was designed so that
each community recruited two social workers to carry out an NCD self-management
program. A health care professional assisted social workers to complete six weekly
two-hour sessions. The control group had no extra intervention. The evaluation
was conducted at baseline and 12-month follow-up. Outcomes included changes in
weight, blood pressure, fasting plasma glucose (FPG), lipid profile, self-management
behaviors, and NCD-related knowledge. Results: After 12 months, participants had
gained 3.6 and 6.6 kg (p= 0.025 for between-group difference) in the intervention and
control groups, respectively. NCD-related knowledge increased by 15.4% and 11.3%
(p< 0.001 for between-group difference), respectively. The intervention group
had a greater increase in self-reported exercise (87% to 95%) than the control group
(81% to 85%) (pdifference = 0.031). General linear regression analysis showed that
the intervention effects were significant for FPG (p= 0.013) and total cholesterol
(TC) (p= 0.046). Conclusion: A social worker-led NCD self-management program
successfully promoted NCD-related knowledge and decreased metabolic risk factors
in low-income Cantonese women.
