Understanding the implementation process of the Adult Day Services Plus program.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Among the available evidence-based interventions targeting dementia family caregivers, there is limited evidence on implementation processes that produce desired outcomes (i.e., reductions in depression and burden) for caregivers, people living with dementia (PLWD), and community-based programs themselves. In a national multi-site hybrid effectiveness trial, we investigated the implementation success and challenges of embedding an evidence-based intervention (ADS Plus) targeting dementia family caregivers whose PLWD was enrolled in an adult day service (ADS).

Methods

Informed by the Consolidated Framework for Implementation Research, we conducted a directed qualitative content analysis to understand caregiver (n = 15) and staff (n = 14) perceptions of facilitators
