Logic model for the product design map
The logic model will include the various components and like the program inputs and it
will serve as resources, the processes will serve as activities and the outputs will serve as
outcomes.
Stakeholder- the key stakeholder in the self-management program of chronic disease
prevention are the residents of the Pike County in Kentucky along with the different cultural
groups in the county. The members of the organization that will be involved in the self-
management program are the physicians, nurses, pharmacists that will actively called as the
healthcare professionals. These healthcare professionals will be providing with the effective
strategies. While at the same time the social workers will also be taken into the program and they
will be required to spread the awareness regarding the illness (Phillips et al., 2016). The
members of the of the Kentucky Department of Health will be responsible for the ethical aspects
of the study. Due to this the Kentucky Department of Health will be following ethical practice
guidelines and furthermore, consent forms will be collected from the social workers and the
health care professionals. The privacy of the respondents will also be considered and maintained
and due to this professionals of the health department will also be working to remove the
biasness with respect to the people that belong from different background (Grady & Gough,
2014).

Department of Health will play a key role in conducting the awareness program. Fund will be
organized from the state government so that the wide number of people of Pike county
population as well as the people belonging from the several cultural groups of the county can be
involved. The community resources that will be required for the program will include the people
from the community and the community heads to lead the people of the community.
Activities- With the available resources, the community people will be divided into small
groups and the they will be told to attend small workshops. Then the workshops will be divided
into the 2 and a half hours per session. Moreover, this workshop will be divided into 1 session
per week for about 6 weeks. It is important to highlight that 12 to 16 participants will be divided
into each of the workshops. While at the same time the community members and the residents of
the Pike county will be attending the workshops. The trained leaders that have chronic diseases
and are non-health professionals. These leaders will be trained by the health professionals like
nurses and physicians (Ory et al., 2013). The Social workers on the other hand will be working
with the community members and the residents of the Pike County. It is important to mention
that the strategies of managing the development of the chronic illness will be prescribed that will
be changing the life style of the people suffering from chronic illness. The changes in the
lifestyle will be brought about by the implementation of the healthy diet in the daily regime, and
exercise to maintain a healthy and active lifestyle. Furthermore, doctors will also suggest for the
medication that will be minimizing the risk arising from the chronic illness. Certain things that
will be taught to the participants of the workshop are techniques so that they can deal with the
isolation, pain, fatigue and frustration; appropriate usage of medications, nutrition, decision
making; Appropriate implementation of exercise so that endurance, flexibility, and strength can
be improved (Ahn et al., 2013).

3PROGRAM DESIGN PLAN AND EVALUATION
Outcome- The awareness program will have both the short term and long term outcomes.
The short term outcome: families and individuals will have increased knowledge and skills
necessary for the health behaviour. More number of the families and the individuals will have
increased amount of knowledge of the disease processes and their daily role in self- managing.
Increased amount of the skills and knowledge that are required for self- management of chronic
illness (Ory et al., 2013). The long term outcomes: more number of people will be able to exhibit
healthy behaviours. Increased amount of community participation and increased community and
individual health satisfaction. The mortality rates of the older adults will improve considerably.
The self-management program will be help the communities of Kentucky to gain more
knowledge and be more aware. Hence reducing the negative health impacts. It is important to
mention that the improvement in the skills and gain in knowledge can be assessed by conducting
tests and the higher the scores the higher the tendencies of skill increase. While the improvement
in the health of the people will be assessed by yearly medical assessments and the improved
health conditions can be treated as health improvement status.
