Topic 3 DQ 2

Description:

You have been selected to serve on a community outreach committee within your state’s nursing organization. The committee includes registered nurses of different specialties. At your first meeting, it becomes evident that not everyone is in agreement with a recent position statement about the role of spiritual care, with some members arguing they will no longer support the committee if the position statement is not revised or reversed. As a nurse leader and change agent, how would you approach the committee? How could you draw from change theory to address these concerns and encourage collaboration on the committee?

Thoughts on Change theories

HI Class, both for this DQ and for your assignment this week, you are reviewing change theories and models. I can give you a little kickstart with some thoughts, but explore what other models fit how you will respond both here, and on your assignment. THis is only meant to allow you to think generally about these: Conceptual models of implementing knowledge are essentially models or theories of change. Change theories fall into two basic kinds: classical and planned Classical theories of change (sometimes referred to as descriptive or normative theories) are passive; they explain or describe how change occurs. An example of a classical theory of change is Rogers’ diffusion theory or conceptualization of scientific revolutions.

These theories describe change, but they weren’t created with the intention of bringing about or directing change in practice. The models that have been suggested as ways of thinking about or researching knowledge translation, such Lomas’ Coordinated Implementation Model, are other implementation theories that fall under this category. Researchers, decision-makers, and change agents tend to be more interested in planned change theories that are specifically designed to be used to guide or cause change engineering change, even though classical theories of change can be very informative and helpful for identifying the determinants of change. A planned change theory is a set of logically interrelated concepts that explain, in a systematic way, the means by which planned change occurs, that predict how various forces in an environment will react in specified change situations, and that help planners or change agents control variables that increase or decrease the likelihood of the occurrence of change.

Planned change, in this context, refers to deliberately engineering change that occurs in groups that vary in size and setting. Planned change theories are also referred to as prescriptive .Those who use planned change theories may work with individuals, but their objective is to alter ways of doing things in social systems.
