High quality goal setting in stroke rehabilitation is vital, but challenging to deliver. The G-AP framework (including staff training and a stroke survivor held G-AP record) guides patient centred goal setting with stroke survivors in community rehabilitation teams. We found G-AP was acceptable, feasible to deliver and clinically useful in one team. The aim of this study was to conduct a mixed methods investigation of G-AP implementation in diverse community teams prior to a large-scale evaluation.
We approached Scottish community rehabilitation teams to take part. Following training, G-AP was delivered to stroke survivors within participating teams for 6 months. We investigated staff experiences of G-AP training and its implementation using focus groups and a training questionnaire. We investigated fidelity of G-AP delivery through case note review. Focus group data were analysed using a Framework approach; identified themes were mapped into Normalisation Process Theory constructs. Questionnaire and case note data were analysed descriptively.
We recruited three teams comprising 55 rehabilitation staff. Almost all staff (93%, 51/55) participated in G-AP training; of those, 80% (n = 41/51) completed the training questionnaire. Training was rated as 'good' or 'very good' by almost all staff (92%, n = 37/41). G-AP was broadly implemented as intended in two teams. Implementation facilitators included - G-AP 'made sense'; repetitive use of G-AP in practice; flexible G-AP delivery and positive staff appraisals of G-AP impact. G-AP failed to gain traction in the third team. Implementation barriers included - delays between G-AP training and implementation; limited leadership engagement; a poor 'fit' between G-AP and the team organisational structure and simultaneous delivery of other goal setting methods. Staff recommended (i) development of training to include implementation planning; (ii) ongoing local implementation review and tailoring, and (iii) development of electronic and aphasia friendly G-AP records.
The interaction between G-AP and the practice setting is critical to implementation success or failure. Whilst facilitators support implementation success, barriers can collectively act as implementation "deal breakers". Local G-AP implementation efforts should be planned, monitored and tailored. These insights can inform implementation of other complex interventions in community rehabilitation settings.
高质量的目标设定在中风康复中至关重要,但实现起来具有挑战性。G-AP 框架(包括员工培训和由中风幸存者持有的 G-AP 记录)指导社区康复团队中的以患者为中心的目标设定。我们发现 G-AP 在一个团队中是可以接受的、可行的和临床有用的。本研究的目的是在大规模评估之前,对不同社区团队中 G-AP 的实施情况进行混合方法调查。
我们联系了苏格兰社区康复团队参与。在培训之后,G-AP 在参与团队中的中风幸存者中实施了 6 个月。我们通过焦点小组和培训问卷调查了员工对 G-AP 培训和实施的经验。我们通过病历审查调查了 G-AP 交付的保真度。焦点小组数据使用框架方法进行分析;确定的主题被映射到正常化过程理论结构中。问卷和病历数据进行描述性分析。
我们招募了三支由 55 名康复工作人员组成的团队。几乎所有工作人员(93%,51/55)都参加了 G-AP 培训;其中,80%(n=41/51)完成了培训问卷。培训几乎被所有工作人员(92%,n=37/41)评为“好”或“非常好”。G-AP 在两支团队中得到了广泛的实施。实施促进因素包括-G-AP“有意义”;在实践中反复使用 G-AP;灵活的 G-AP 交付和工作人员对 G-AP 影响的积极评价。G-AP 在第三支团队中没有取得进展。实施障碍包括-G-AP 培训和实施之间的延迟;领导参与有限;G-AP 与团队组织结构之间的“不匹配”;同时实施其他目标设定方法。工作人员建议(i)发展培训以包括实施计划;(ii)持续进行本地实施审查和调整;(iii)开发电子和失语友好的 G-AP 记录。
G-AP 与实践环境的相互作用对实施的成败至关重要。虽然促进因素支持实施成功,但障碍可以共同成为实施的“绊脚石”。应计划、监测和调整本地 G-AP 实施工作。这些见解可以为在社区康复环境中实施其他复杂干预措施提供信息。
