Proposal of the Implementation Theory Selection Model and exemplar application in fall injury prevention.

ABSTRACT:

Introduction

The use of theories, models and/or frameworks (TMFs) in implementation research and practice is essential for developing useful and testable implementation strategies. Recommendations and tools exist to aid implementation groups in selecting TMFs, but they do not explicitly outline a systematic method for identifying and selecting TMFs. This paper aimed to (1) propose a systematic consensus-based method to select TMFs to support implementation processes, and to (2) demonstrate the use of this novel method in the context of researching the implementation of hip protectors for fracture prevention in long-term care (LTC).

Materials & methods

We developed a systematic, consensus-based method for selecting TMFs, referred to as the Implementation Theory Selection Mode
