Identifying and selecting implementation theories, models and frameworks: a qualitative study to inform the development of a decision support tool.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Implementation theories, models and frameworks offer guidance when implementing and sustaining healthcare evidence-based interventions. However, selection can be challenging given the myriad of potential options. We propose to inform a decision support tool to facilitate the appropriate selection of an implementation theory, model or framework in practice. To inform tool development, this study aimed to explore barriers and facilitators to identifying and selecting implementation theories, models and frameworks in research and practice, as well as end-user preferences for features and functions of the proposed tool.

Methods

We used an interpretive descriptive approach to conduct semi-structured interviews with implementation researchers and practitioners in Canada
