The necessary approvals for the study were obtained. The data set was created by obtaining patient data (except for data such as Turkish Republic identification number) from 14 hospitals providing Home Health Care Services in the city of Diyarbakır. The data set was subjected to necessary pre-processing and </span>descriptive statistics<span> were applied. For the estimation model, Decision Tree, Random Forest and Multi-layer Perceptron Neural Network<span><span> algorithms were used. It was found that the number of days of home health care service, which the patients received, varied depending on their age and gender. It was observed that the patients were generally in the disease groups that required Physiotherapy and Rehabilitation treatments. It was determined that the length of service for patients can be predicted with a high reliability rate (Multi-Layer Model Acc: 90.4%, Decision Tree Model Acc: 86.4%, Random Forest Model Acc: 88.5%) using machine learning algorithms. In the light of the findings and data patterns obtained in the study, it is thought that effective and efficient planning will be made in terms of health management. In addition, it is believed that estimating the average length of service for patients will contribute to strategic planning of human resources for health, and to reducing medical consumables, </span>drugs and hospital expenses.</span></span></p></div>","PeriodicalId":48046,"journal":{"name":"Evaluation and Program Planning","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":1.6,"publicationDate":"2023-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"10075590","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Therefore, the application of logic models as a theory of change is recommended to support outcome and process evaluations. The present study explores challenges and opportunities of applying logic models in application-oriented intervention research on workplace health promotion. A focus group (n = 6), consisting of scientists and workplace health promotion practitioners, was conducted using a semi-structured interview guide. The recorded qualitative data were transcribed and analysed using the structuring content analysis method. According to the focus group, logic models provide several opportunities for planning and evaluating complex workplace health promotion interventions. Logic models support the communication between science and practice, and have benefits for the provider of workplace health promotion interventions. The main challenges in working with logic models were dealing with the complex and constantly developing intervention and with the derivation and implementation of reasonable evaluation methods. The focus group exposed repeated application and a shared understanding between stakeholders as facilitators for working with logic models. In conclusion, at the science-practice interface, logic models could enhance the integrative understanding and the further development of evidence-based workplace health promotion.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":48046,"journal":{"name":"Evaluation and Program Planning","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":1.6,"publicationDate":"2023-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"10069151","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
