From theory to practice: using the Normalization Process Theory and Theoretical Domains Framework to understand implementation of decarbonization in general practice.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Decarbonization in general practice is a critical step toward achieving a net zero healthcare system. Understanding the factors that facilitate or hinder the implementation of environmentally sustainable practices is essential for effective and equitable action. Hence, the overarching aim of this study is to advance understanding of the factors influencing decarbonization in general practice. This study's objective is to map and compare the application of the Normalization Process Theory (NPT) and Theoretical Domains Framework (TDF) in understanding the key factors and sub-factors related to decarbonization in general practice.

Methods

Factors derived from a systematic review and narrative synthesis were mapped to NPT constructs and TDF domains by a multidisciplin
