Using Normalisation Process Theory to explore the contribution of stakeholder workshops to the development and refinement of a complex behavioural intervention: the STAMINA lifestyle intervention.

ABSTRACT:

Background

The National Institute for Health and Care Excellence (NICE) recommend that men with prostate cancer on androgen deprivation therapy (ADT) are offered twice weekly supervised aerobic and resistance exercise to address side effects of treatment. However, supervised exercise is not routinely offered in standard clinical practice. The STAMINA programme grant for applied research (PGfAR) has been designed to evaluate whether this recommendation can be delivered within standard NHS care. This paper describes how future implementation of NICE recommendations within the NHS was explored during complex intervention development to enable evaluation of a lifestyle intervention.

Methods

Two stakeholder workshops were conducted to explore factors pertinent to future implement
