Implementation outcomes from a multi-site stepped wedge cluster randomized family caregiver skills training trial.

ABSTRACT:

Objective

To assess whether a team collaboration strategy (CONNECT) improves implementation outcomes of a family caregiver skills training program (iHI-FIVES).

Data sources and study setting

iHI-FIVES was delivered to caregivers at eight Veterans Affairs (VA) medical centers. Data sources were electronic health records, staff surveys, and interviews.

Study design

In a stepped wedge cluster randomized trial, sites were randomized to a 6-month time interval start date for iHI-FIVES launch. Sites were then randomized 1:1 to either (i) CONNECT, a team collaboration training strategy plus Replicating Effective Programs (REP), brief technical support training for staff, or (ii) REP only (non-CONNECT arm). Implementation outcomes included reach (proportion of eligible caregi
