Background Loneliness and social isolation are associated with adverse mental physical health outcomes in adults. However, there is a lack of existing research on effective interventions the contexts which these could be implemented. Primary objective To assess clinical cost-effectiveness network intervention compared to usual care among at-risk populations. Design A pragmatic, community-based, cluster randomised controlled trial embedded economic evaluation, process evaluation qualitative...
Magnet hospitals, a concept developed in the U.S., have been associated with improved nurse recruitment and retention, better patient outcomes. principles may be useful to address workforce challenges European but they not implemented or evaluated on large scale hospital context.

Abstract Background The implementation of complex interventions experiences challenges that affect the extent to which they become embedded and scaled-up. Implementation at scale in environments like community settings defies universal replication. Planning for such requires knowledge organisational capacity structure. Pre-implementation work is an important element early phase preparing setting introduction intervention, factors contributing towards creation optimal pre-implementation...

Implementing a intervention in community connect people who are at risk of or could help these concerns. However, implementing interventions is made difficult by interplay between context intervention. Thus, support implementation detailed understanding types contexts required. To examine optimal factors that promote designed...
Abstract Background Policy makers and researchers recognise the challenges of implementing evidence-based interventions into routine practice. The process implementation is particularly complex in local community environments. In such settings, dynamic nature wider contextual factors needs to be considered addition capturing interactions between type intervention site throughout process. This study sought examine how networks network formation influence a self-management support setting....
