Methods to evaluate effectiveness of the proposed change
The proposed solution for this project basically entails providing teaching to HIV/AIDS patients for the purpose of improving the level of educational awareness, reducing complications, and enhancing the quality of life of the HIV/AIDS patient. Therefore, to evaluate the effectiveness of the proposed solution, the level of educational awareness of the patients and the quality of their lives would be assessed prior to the implementation of the proposed solution in the hospital setting and after the implementation. The educational awareness of the patients suffering from HIV/AIDS before the implementation would be compared to their educational awareness after the implementation of the proposed solution. This means that if the patients have a higher level of educational awareness after the implementation of the proposed solution compared to before the implementation, then it would be considered as a success and effective. Conversely, if their level of educational awareness remains as it was before the implementation, then the proposed solution would not be considered as effective (Holloway & Wheeler, 2009).
The other method that would be used to measure the effectiveness of the proposed change is by assessing the patients’ quality of life before and after the implementation of the proposed solution. This means that if the quality of life of the HIV/AIDS patients will have improved following the implementation of the proposed solution, it would be considered to have been effective. Conversely, the proposed solution will be considered as not effective if the patients’ quality of life would have worsened or remained just like it was before the implementation of the proposed solution (Harris, 2013). The third method to be used in evaluating the effectiveness of the proposed solution is by assessing the complications of the HIV/AIDS patients prior to and after implementation of the proposed solution. In essence, if the complications of the patients will have reduced after the implementation of the proposed solution, then it would be considered to have been effective. Conversely, if the complications of the patients would have increased or would have actually remained the same as they were prior to the implementation of the proposed solution, then it would not be seen to have been effective.
Furthermore, the strains of HIV/AIDS that the patients have before and after the implementation of the proposed solution would be compared. It is noteworthy that the provision of education is also aimed at helping the HIV/AIDS to live positively without transmitting the virus on to somebody else. The patients will also be educated on how they can prevent themselves from getting a different strain of the virus than the strain they already have. As such, the proposed solution will be considered to have been ineffective if the patients have a different strain of the HIV/AIDS virus following the implementation of the proposed solution. It will imply that they engaged in unprotected sexual intercourse with other people which resulted in them getting a different strain of the disease, and they ma...
