In this evaluation, a theory-based framework conceptualising equity in terms of equal access, equal treatment and equal treatment outcomes for people in equal need is used to guide the work.
Evaluation objectives: Methodology: This evaluation considered a theory of change approach.
The structured and stepwise process of development, implementation and evaluation of a theory and practise-based participatory RTW program for temporary agency workers and unemployed workers, sick-listed due to musculoskeletal disorders (MSD) was recently published[ 16].
Realist evaluation is a theory-driven approach to evaluation, focused on identifying, testing and refining the logic of how an intervention leads to a particular outcome.
Design and undertake usability and field-testing evaluation of a theory-guided decision aid (BresDex) in supporting women choosing surgery for early breast cancer.
This paper describes the background, design and evaluation of a theory-informed education and decision support program for cancer patients considering complementary medicine (CM).
Therefore, there is a need for the development, implementation and evaluation of a theory-based exercise therapy with a behavioural approach (BET) in the context of a BMR.
The aim was to describe the development, implementation and evaluation of a theory- and practise-based participatory RTW program for a vulnerable group among the working population, i.e. temporary agency workers and unemployed workers, sick-listed due to MSD.
Therefore, this paper aims to describe the structured and stepwise process of development, implementation and evaluation of a theory- and practise-based participatory RTW program for temporary agency workers and unemployed workers, sick-listed due to musculoskeletal disorders (MSD).
The study described in this paper was part of an overall evaluation which used a Theory of Change [ 17] framework, entailing a process of continual feedback between the researchers and the organisations being evaluated to provide a clear model of the logic of the programme, to shape the direction of programme change and provide evidence for suggested modifications.
Where the programme theory has not been documented, conducting a theory evaluation offers a foundational evaluation step as it gives an indication of whether the theory behind a programme is sound.
