The Community Coalition Action Theory (CCAT) blends practice wisdom with empirical data to explain how community coalitions achieve community change and community capacity outcomes. The current study uses data from an evaluation of 20 California Healthy Cities and Communities coalitions to test relationships between coalition factors and outcomes as predicted by CCAT in two stages of coalition development. Data are from two rounds of coalition member surveys, interviews with local coalition coordinators, and semiannual progress reports. Consistent with CCAT predictions and prior research, shared decision making and leadership were correlated with participation; staff competence, task focus, and cohesion were correlated with member satisfaction. Coalition size was associated with participation and dollars leveraged. Also, consistent with CCAT, diversity of funding sources was associated with new leadership opportunities and program expansion; dollars leveraged was correlated with new leadership opportunities and new partners. Findings provide preliminary support for many, but not all, of the relationships predicted by CCAT.

Health Education And Promotion

It’s less possible to promote health behaviors without theory-based studies and it’s better to use health education and promotion theories for more effective health education and promotion interventions. Theories are able to change the behavior of individuals at the personal, interpersonal, organizational, social, and policymaking levels. Organizations play an important role in the daily life of people, and any changes in these organizations can affect people's health. The Community Coalition Action Theory (CCAT) is a form of theories for the change across organizations. A community coalition is a structured arrangement where all members can work together on a common goal and objective. The current article focuses on applications of the CCAT to provide a framework for the development of activities and interventions related to confronting Covid-19. Forming a coalition is very significant and can increase the effectiveness of interventional programs. CCAT is one of the best practices that can be achieved through joint activities of multiple organizations that lead to improved health behaviors

Service Agencies

Research has found that collaboration is important for family service agencies, and community coalition building is a common form of collaboration. Guided by Community Coalition Action Theory, this article analyzes a community coalition convening around health and housing in a resource-challenged, large Midwestern metropolitan area. Implications for practice are discussed, describing initial lessons learned from the coalition kick-off event for community coalition convening. Using theory to anticipate coalition challenges and barriers, looking beyond simple meeting agenda objectives to identify specific coalition tactics, and asking hard questions about coalition capacity at kick-off are ways to strengthen health and housing interventions within family-based services.

Summary Objectives: Many shared-care projects feel the need for electronic patient-record (EPR) systems. In absence of practical experiences from paper record keeping, a theoretical model is the only reference for the design of these systems. In this article, we review existing models of individual clinical practice and integrate their useful elements. We then present a generic model of clinical practice that is applicable to both individual and collaborative clinical practice. Methods: We followed the principles of the conversation-for-action theory and the DEMO method. According to these principles, information can only be generated by a conversation between two actors. An actor is a role that can be played by one or more human subjects, so the model does not distinguish between inter-individual and intra-individual conversations. Results: Clinical practice has been divided into four actors: service provider, problem solver, coordinator, and worker. Each actor represents a level of clinical responsibility. Any information in the patient record is the result of a conversation between two of these actors. Connecting different conversations to one another can create a process view with meta-information about the rationale of clinical practice. Such process view can be implemented as an extension to the EPR. Conclusions: The model has the potential to cover all professional activities, but needs to be further validated. The model can serve as a theoretical basis for the design of EPR-systems for shared care, but a successful EPR-system needs more than just a theoretical model.

Seperti yang kita ketahui saat ini , Indonesia sudah memasuki era revolusi 4.0 yang mana pada era tersebut memiliki pengaruh besar terhadap perubahan yang terjadi di semua bidang. Termasuk dalam bidang pendidikan khususnya, perubahan yang terjadi di dunia pendidikan saat ini begitu pesat dengan ditinggalkannya metode belajar yang masih menggunakan cara konvensional. Mengerjakan tugas dengan buku, komunikasi tatap muka, mengumpulkan assignment dalam bentuk hardcopy, yang tentunya akan menyebabkan banyak kerugian dalam jangka waktu tertentu, seperti banyak assignment yang lama tertimbun dan sulit untuk ditemukan ketika dibutuhkan. Metode tersebut tentunya dianggap sebagai cara yang membosankan dan membuang banyak waktu, di mana mahasiswa tidak dapat mengeksplorasi dalam proses pembelajaran yang akan memakan waktu lama untuk melakukan pencarian manual untuk jumlah file yang telah dikumpulkan. Pada saat ini penerapan metode pembelajaran dengan konsep menata banyak laporan pengerjaan assignment dalam sebuah website content management system. Metode pembelajaran ini dibuat untuk memaksimalkan cara menata laporan assignment mahasiswa guna efisiensi manajemen waktu, oleh karena itu metode pembelajaran ini dapat diterapkan sebagai manajemen pendidikan di pendidikan tinggi. Diharapkan dengan adanya metode ini dapat meningkatkan manajemen waktu dalam belajar sehingga memotivasi untuk mengeksplorasi kemampuan dalam proses pembelajaran yang ada.
