Please read all the instructions carefully. This needs to be one-page diagram of theoretical foundation for my project/program, describing how and why my project should achieve the desired outcome.. I have attached at the end both the PICOt question and an example of how theory logic model needs to be completed. Thank you.
Week 1: Assignment – Theory Logic Model for Your Project
Category: Assignments
A logic model or program theory is a description or model frequently pictorial of how a program is supposed to achieve its expected outcomes and solve the identified problem for which it was created. It creates a logical links between expected outcomes and the activities designed to achieve them and incorporates the evidence-based theoretical assumptions that explain how the activities will lead to outcomes. A program theory or logic model is NOT the theoretical framework on which your project is based although it may be related to a theoretical framework. A theoretical or conceptual framework is a general theory that explains why some things happen. A program theory or logic model is unique to your project and explains how it is supposed to work.
Assignment Prompt
Develop a one-page diagram of theoretical foundation for your project/program, describing how and why your project should achieve the desired outcome. Add references on the second page. You may arrange items in the diagram in any way you choose, but the diagrams should include each of the following components and show the logical connections between them:
1. The need or problem to be addressed by the project/program with supporting data
2. The context for the project/program (attach a reference list with your diagram)
3. The strategy (ies) proposed to address the need/problem
4. The evidence base for the proposed strategies (attached a reference list with your diagram)
5. Factors that will influence the use of strategy
6. The expected outcomes of the project/program
7. The resulting impact of the project/program if the outcomes are achieved.
Expectations
-Length: Two pages (1st page for diagram, 2nd page for references)
-Format: APA Style (7th ed.), one-inch margins with double spacing, proper APA formatting
-Research: Scholarly (peer-reviewed) contemporary reference(s) within the last 5 years
-Writing: Use correct grammar and sentence construction: Clear expression of ideas
-File Title: Save the file with Student First Name_Last Name_Title of assignment
-See USU NUR Writing Assignment Rubric for additional details and point weighting.
Here is the PICOT question below (basically I’m trying to indicate how The Impact of Exercise and Diet Education Programs in Managing Type 2 Diabetes among Adults).
In adult patients aged 18-65 years old diagnosed with type 2 diabetes (P), how does an exercise program and diet education (I) when compared to diet education alone (C) in the management of diabetes (O) within 6 months (T) in primary care?
The target population (P) are adult patients aged between 18 and 65 years old diagnosed with T2D. The adult age group is chosen strategically to examine the applicability of the proposed interventions to the public. The goal is to generalize the results to a wider population irrespective of one’s age and geographical location. The intervention (I) is to deploy exercise programs and diet education simultaneously to manage T2D to optimize the benefits of these evidence-based practices. Conversely, the comparison (C) is the use of diet education alone. Although diet education intervention is effective in the management of diabetes, it has limitations that can be complemented by implementing other evidence-based solutions such as educating patients on physical activity. The expected outcomes (O) are reduced Hgb A1C levels, improved glucose readings, sufficient control and, potentially, healing of T2D by combining exercise programs and diet education. Long term expected outcomes will be diet and exercise compliance and adherence to lifestyle modifications. The expected change or outcome is anticipated to manifest within a period of 6 months (T) of implementing the educational interventions to the patient population.
