Abstract：
There is a need for careful examination of large volumes of collected (structured and unstructured) information related to school-based evaluation. There is also no published, comprehensive framework/s for evaluating complex interventions in Irish primary schools. The aim of this paper is to outline a methodology for process evaluation of an Irish primary school-based physical activity (PA) and nutrition intervention. Evaluation followed the three themes outlined by the British Medical Research Council: implementation, context, and mechanism of impact that we further divided into six dimensions. Methodological tools included questionnaires, PA logs, reflective journals, write and draw, and semi-structured interviews. We triangulated findings across these multiple tools to assess each dimension. We designed a unique framework to enable comparisons and offer researchers a template for evaluating complex health promotion interventions in primary schools. We present a methodology for evaluating a complex school-based health promotion intervention. The framework we propose integrates process and outcome data. It aims to enhance future result interpretation and facilitate informed comparisons among intervention schools.
摘要：
有必要仔细审查与基于学校的评估有关的大量收集的（结构化和非结构化）信息。也没有发表,评估爱尔兰小学复杂干预措施的综合框架。本文的目的是概述对爱尔兰小学体育活动（PA）和营养干预进行过程评估的方法。评估遵循了英国医学研究理事会概述的三个主题：实施，context,和影响机制，我们进一步分为六个维度。方法工具包括问卷，PA日志,反光日记帐，写和画，半结构化面试。我们对这些多种工具的发现进行了三角测量，以评估每个维度。我们设计了一个独特的框架来进行比较，并为研究人员提供了评估小学复杂的健康促进干预措施的模板。我们提出了一种评估复杂的基于学校的健康促进干预措施的方法。我们提出的框架整合了过程和结果数据。它旨在加强未来的结果解释，并促进干预学校之间的知情比较。
