ACTION: application and extension of the GENESIS community analysis model.

GENESIS (General Ethnographic and Nursing Evaluation Studies In the State) is a tested and proven community analysis strategy that integrates ethnographic and epidemiologic data to arrive at a comprehensive, holistic description of the health of a community and its residents. Communities analyzed in most project GENESIS studies have been rural or semirural. ACTION (Assessing Communities Together in the Identification Of Needs) is an extension of the GENESIS community analysis model that was developed to meet the unique needs of community-level research and analysis in an urban, multicultural setting. Significant differences in the context in which the ACTION projects took place necessitated extensions in specific components of the GENESIS model. Application of the GENESIS model by the ACTION team is described. Based on the experiences with ACTION, recommendations are offered for future urban, multicultural community analysis projects.

Nursing, health, and policy within a community context.

This article describes a method of linking curriculum and the nursing role in health policy. Graduate students participated in a project to assess the impact of policy on the health of a community and the implications for nursing. The experience of this project indicates that learning about policy within a community context has merit for helping students understand the impact of policy on nursing.

The faculty work plan and appraisal: its potential for faculty role development.

This exploratory study was designed to begin analysis on the "Faculty Work Plan" and its potential for faculty role development in a university setting. The specific goals were: (1) to identify the degree of congruence between faculty work plans and the school goals; and (2) to determine the relationship between faculty work plan/school goal congruence, faculty productivity, potency, and job satisfaction. The sample was composed of 26 respondents, 26 to 50 years old, from a pool of 48 full-time faculty members affiliated with a school of nursing in a university setting. Likert-type rating scores were used to measure Faculty Work Plan-School Goal Congruence (FWP-SG), job satisfaction, productivity, and potency. Data analyses were focused on frequency distribution, group means, and Pearson Correlation Coefficients on selected pairs of variables. Interesting findings were revealed. A strong relationship was found between FWP-SG congruence and faculty productivity (r = .85; p = .000) and potency (r = .84; p = .000). Several recommendations were suggested.
