First, because program staff will be involved in conducting the evaluation, the cost of conducting empowerment evaluation will be minimal as compared to contracting with an independent person to conduct the evaluation. Second, because program staff are involved in the decisions of what to evaluate and how the evaluation should be conducted, the results will be more meaningful to staff for use in program improvement. Program staff will also be more invested in participating in the evaluation. Having staff more invested in a program increases productivity and caring as to what may happen to the program and to the clients that are working with the program. Third, the process of developing the evaluation plans forces the program staff to take a close look at the program services they intend to provide. As program staff designs the plan, they must strategically lay out the community needs, activities to address the needs of the target…

Much of the research centers on the common factors that make psychotherapy effective. Rogers published a work in which he identified the common factors of effective therapy. Although much research has been conducted on the common factors, qualitative studies on client centered have also been conducted. Gibbard, and Hanley (2005) conducted a five year evaluation of the use of client centered therapy for the treatment of anxiety and depression. A group of individuals receiving client centered therapy were compared to a waitlist group a pre and post assessment were given before the sessions, after 3 years, and after 5 years. An effect size of .24 was found after three years and 1.2 after five…
PCOMS could be something I used to monitor my group, it’s one of the many assessment tools out there. The wonderful thing about PCOMS is that is have validity and reliability to support it, verses me just making something up so if insurance panels wanted something I would have a strong assessment to support myself. I also know that I could do more research and find another assessment tool that would work just as well for my group because I have the tools due to this class and assessments to know what is a reliable and valid…
Addressing the initial beliefs is the beginning. Mills speaks of Guba argument that the trustworthiness of qualitative inquiry could be established by addressing the following characteristics of a study: credibility, transferability, dependability, and confirmability (Mills, 2014). Mid-way Motivational interview will provide the trustworthiness vital to the overall success of this action research. It is my belief the process of elimination began when I reduced the research questions as mentioned in the previously. By reducing the seven questions to three questions was hard for me, but it in the long run it provided to be a clean approach to the research. Since I have been actively conducting the research, I see the benefit in the reduction. In my action research I am using Pre and Post Surveys as well as a midway Motivational interview. The three questions form the groundwork of the surveys that will provide a great amount of quantitative data in this action research. Also, the Motivational Interview will provide a great wealth of qualitative data that will be used in the research results. All collection tools used will provide a clearer picture of the effectiveness of Evidence Based Practices in relation to clients/caregivers and MST as a whole. The overall goal of my…

Locating program strengths and weaknesses are areas in which a system of collective information about a programs activities, characteristics, and outcomes provides opportunity for program improvements. An evaluation process raises questions such as is the program planned to meet the desired goals, for example, meeting the needs of the target population if any inclusive to the program. Monitoring the program and raising questions regarding the progress of program implementation and the consequences of the program not being implemented as intended. Assessing the impact of a program, for example, goal effectiveness, valuable lessons, and unanticipated effects adhere to providing opportunities for program improvements.…
