Implementation of physical activity interventions in healthcare practice: share and learn!

Workshop

Abstract Overview

Duration: 180 minutes

Purpose: To improve comprehension of the implementation of physical activity (PA) interventions in healthcare practice and to exchange experiences.

Learning Objectives:

Learning Objective 1: To known implementation strategies and be able to apply them in healthcare practice.
Learning Objective 2: To learn about other initiatives regarding implementation of PA interventions.
Learning Objective 3: To enhance your understanding of potential (creative) methods for implementation research.
Learning Objective 4: To be capable of developing an action plan for the implementation of a PA intervention.

Target Audience: All professionals and researchers with interest in implementation research.

Organization and Method of Presentation: Two cases of PA implementation will be presented briefly, with focus on lessons learned.

Case 1: Implementation of the Keep Moving Support Tool in physiotherapy treatment. The tool supports healthcare professionals to develop client centered interventions that consider the clients contextual factors and aligns these with effective Behavior Change Techniques (BCT’s) to achieve sustained change in PA. A step-by-step approach for implementation was employed. The Consolidated Framework for Implementation Research (CFIR) and ERIC strategies were used along with several creative methods.

Case 2: An interactive PA tool ‘Walk in the ParQ’ was implemented in a nursing home for elderly by healthcare professionals with the aim to increase PA in daily routine. Participative action research was conducted to evaluate this interactive PA route with target group, professionals and stakeholders, resulting in a roadmap for implementation.

After the presentation of these cases, we will gather methods used for implementation research with all participants in a brainstorm exercise. Subsequently, small group discussions will provide the opportunity to share experiences regarding the implementation of PA interventions in your specific context or setting. Finally, under the guidance of the implementation experts you’ll work on your own case and make an action plan for implementation.
