“…It provides a common approach to the integration, planning, implementation, and evaluation of a program or project [7]. Logic models are widely used, with some aiming at evaluating clinical programs [8] or the contributions of partners in community based participatory research [9]. However, few if any existing tools have been designed to guide the implementation of collaborative models linking community-based primary health care and biomedical research.…”

Translational research aims at reducing gaps between fundamental scientific discoveries and real-world applications. However, the trajectory of most scientific discoveries along the translation research continuum remains highly complex. Logic models are powerful tools that can help reduce this complexity. They are often used to lay out road maps and depict the relationship between activities and their intended effects. Few if any existing tools have been designed to guide the implementation and evaluation of collaborative models between community-based primary health care and biomedical research. To address this gap, we developed a logic model in two stages: 1) a literature review; and 2) the drafting and revision of the model by experts in the field. We describe its components, including objectives, inputs, activities, target groups, outputs, and results for a collaborative model involving fundamental biomedical research and primary health care practices. Our proposed logic model provides a road map that has the potential to reduce the complexity faced by translational research in chronic diseases by providing guidelines for decision-makers. Future work should attempt to validate the model before its broad-based implementation.

“…This evaluation was undertaken with the second GLMC cohort, in the cycle running in 2018–2019 with its associated evaluative data, and is focused on understanding the gains from each dyad, thus informing an improvement in the program. The Logic Framework Approach informed the program evaluation, utilizing a theory‐based approach to guide the development and evaluation of programs (Carrion et al., 2021). The inputs, activities, outputs, and short‐term outcomes and impact offered a framework for this program evaluation, with the anticipated longer‐term outcomes and impacts outlined below.…”

“…Outcomes , according to the Logic Framework, are the specific changes or results to be achieved (Carrion et al., 2021) and, along with the impacts of successful leadership mentoring programs, consist of the short‐, medium‐, and longer‐term results. Due to the timing of this evaluation, undertaken immediately following its completion, it focuses on the short term.…”

AimTo evaluate a year‐long mentorship program, pairing nurses from different regions across the world to support their global leadership capability, and identifying additional consequences of their participation.BackgroundInvestment in developing nurse leaders continues as a strategic global imperative. Building on the first cohort's recommendations, this second program illustrates continued progress.Program evaluationUsing the logic model of program evaluation, this non‐empirical paper uses data collected from anonymized questionnaires and participants’ stories to help improve the program, illustrating innovative practices to develop the confidence and competence of emerging and established nurse leaders globally.DiscussionThe value of mentorship was recognized, and there were gains for both mentors and mentees in the development of leadership confidence and competence. Through engagement and collaboration with the whole community, participants were encouraged to understand their own and others’ cultures avoiding assumptions and stereotypes.ConclusionThis evaluation illustrates that in addition to helping improve future programs, mentorship has enabled the growth of individuals’ skill sets and the confidence to reach out to peers across the world to understand the meaning of global health and to make a meaningful contribution to the challenges they face.Implications for nursing practiceNurse managers should be encouraged to develop and formalize a mentoring culture to benefit the leadership competence and well‐being of their workforce.Implications for nursing policyEvery nurse has a responsibility to invest in nursing leadership for themselves and others. Mentorship can assist nurse leaders to build workforce capability to lead and contribute to the policy agenda locally, nationally, and internationally. Starting early and at the individual level, global mentorship programs can develop leadership expertise to help nurses find their voice and strengthen their confidence and competence to lead and therefore build the strategic leaders of the future.

BackgroundThe precision child and youth mental health (PCYMH) paradigm has great potential to transform CYMH care and research, but there are numerous concerns about feasibility, sustainablity, and equity. Implementation science and evaluation methodology, particularly participatory logic models created with stakeholders, may help catalyze PCYMH-driven system transformation. This paper aims to: (1) report results of a PCYMH logic model scoping review; (2) present a case study illustrating creation of a participatory logic model for a PCYMH start-up; and (3) share the final model plus lessons learned.MethodsPhase 1: Preparation for the logic model comprised several steps to develop a preliminary draft: scoping review of PCYMH logic models; two literature reviews (PCYMH and implementation science research); an environmental scan of our organization's PCYMH research; a gap analysis of our technological capability to support PCYMH research; and 57 stakeholder interviews assessing PCYMH perspectives and readiness. Phase 2: Participatory creation of the logic model integrated Phase 1 information into a draft from which the final logic model was completed through iterative stakeholder co-creation.ResultsPhase 1: The scoping review identified 0 documents. The PCYMH literature review informed our Problem and Impact Statements. Reviewing implementation and evaluation literature resulted in selection of the Reach, Effectiveness, Adoption, Implementation, Maintenance (RE-AIM) and Behavior Change Wheel (BCW) frameworks to guide model development. Only 1.2% (5/414) of the organization's research projects involved PCYMH. Three technological infrastructure gaps were identified as barriers to developing PCYMH research. Stakeholder readiness interviews identified three themes that were incorporated into the draft. Phase 2: Eight co-creation cycles with 36 stakeholders representing 13 groups and a consensus decision-making process were used to produce the final participatory logic model.ConclusionsThis is the first study to report the development of a participatory logic model for a PCYMH program, detailing involvement of stakeholders from initial planning stages to the final consensus-based product. We learned that creating a participatory logic model is time- and labour-intensive and requires a multi-disciplinary team, but the process produced stakeholder-program relationships that enabled us to quickly build and implement the PCYMH start-up. Our processes and final model can inform similar efforts at other sites.
