Abstract

The aim of this paper is to present results which illustrate the role of the PRECEDE-PROCEED model in the program planning process. Based on the results of an implementation evaluation of the EMPOWER software which supports health programming efforts, we have developed a metaphor to illustrate the use of the model. The following four functions of the model were identified: direction, coordination, articulation and transmission. Analysis of these functions demonstrated the structuring action of the model on planning. It would be interesting to further study how these four functions operate with or without the support of the software, to explore the influence of other health promotion models in their natural settings and to see in which way the same or other functions might be identified.

Community-based service delivery in rehabilitation: the promise and the paradox.

PURPOSE: According to many researchers, rehabilitation is being prevented from developing as a distinct profession due to two major problems. First, it has been claimed that rehabilitation is in need of a professional identity and a sense of cohesion if it is to emerge as a discipline. Second, it has been recognized that there is a need for a rehabilitation framework to challenge the restorative approach that continues to dominate rehabilitation, linking it back to the medical model from which it has attempted to escape. The model of community-based rehabilitation (CBR) is offered as a model that can provide the impetus for an attitudinal shift from the restorative tradition and unite rehabilitation workers through a cohesive framework. METHOD: Unfortunately, the implementation of community-based rehabilitation in urban societies has been disappointing. The current paper is a conceptual discussion of community-based rehabilitation that explores some potential causes of this poor implementation. RESULTS: To some extent, the implementation failure of community-based rehabilitation can be attributed to the paradoxes that are inherent in its fundamental constructs-empowerment and community inclusion. These paradoxes occur at a conceptual level, a practical level and a contextual level. CONCLUSIONS: Some solutions are offered to enable the paradigm to be implemented more fully. In particular, it is suggested that there is a need to develop useful working definitions of these constructs, favourable attitudes among rehabilitation workers and a focus on community development.
