Knowledge translation strategies used for sustainability of an evidence-based intervention in child health: a multimethod qualitative study.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Sustainability of evidence-based interventions (EBIs) is suboptimal in healthcare. Evidence on how knowledge translation (KT) strategies are used for the sustainability of EBIs in practice is lacking. This study examined what and how KT strategies were used to facilitate the sustainability of Alberta Family Integrated Care (FICare)™, a psychoeducational model of care scaled and spread across 14 neonatal intensive care units, in Alberta, Canada.
