Question

QUESTION 1 Read the article: A model to promote the uptake of cle. A model to promote the uptake of male circumcision as an HIV-preventive measure in high HIV and low male circumcision prevalence settings by Maidvise, Mavundla, TR. 2018. Then answer the following questions below. 1.1 Discuss the four (4) steps of theory-generation as espoused by Chinn and Kramer (2011), (12) 1.2 To what extent have the authors applied these four (4) steps towards accomplishment of the purpose of the study? Justify your answer. 1.3 Critique this article under the heading: Evaluation/Critique of the model.

Answer 1

Answer: Ques(1.1)- There are 4 steps theory generation by chinn and kramer (2011):

1. Concept analysis : here concept identification and concept definition are important measures for concept analysis.

2. Construction of relationship statements.

3. description of model

4. Evaluation of model

Ques(1.2)- The researchers followed the four steps theory generation proposed in chinn and kramer (2011) in the most of his work because all the aspect of resultant model is described according to chinn and kramer (2011). This will include looking at the purpose,underlying assumptions,the context , theoretical definitionof concept and the relationship statement.

Ques(1.3)- Evaluation of model:

The expert healthcare professionals who evaluated the model concurred  that the model complies with the criteria of clarity, simplicity, generality, accessibility and significance as proposed in Chinn and Kramer (2011). The concepts and the relationship statements were clearly defined, and the model structure clearly described. This was complemented by clear pictorial illustration of the models. The model was found simple because it was reduced to just three building blocks, consisting of only key cocept.The model was also considered sufficiently general, that is applicable to a wide range of situations, given that its purpose and scope were designed to apply to all settings of high HIV and low MC prevalence. Also, the model can be adapted for similar public health issues other than MC and HIV.The evaluation also pointed out numerous ways in which the model can potentially contribute significantly to clinical practice, education, administration and research regarding mass MC as an HIV-preventive measure. The next subsection captures some of the uniqueness contribution of the model.
