Abstract Background Designing implementation interventions to change the behaviour of healthcare providers and other professionals in health system requires detailed specification behaviour(s) targeted for ensure alignment between intervention components measured outcomes. Detailed can help clarify evidence-practice gaps, who needs do what differently, identify modifiable barriers enablers, design address these ultimately provides an indicator measure evaluate intervention’s effect on...
Delays in the detection or treatment of postpartum hemorrhage can result complications death. A blood-collection drape help provide objective, accurate, and early diagnosis hemorrhage, delayed inconsistent use effective interventions may be able to addressed by a bundle.
Abstract Background epidemiological data on COVID-19 infection in care homes are scarce. We analysed from a large provider of long-term for older people to investigate and mortality during the first wave pandemic. Methods cohort study 179 UK with 9,339 residents 11,604 staff. used manager-reported daily tallies estimate incidence suspected confirmed staff residents. Individual-level electronic health records 8,713 were model risk factors infection, attributable mortality. Results 2,075/9,339...
Biodegradable and compostable plastic packaging (BCPP) has the potential to reduce a global waste problem. We aimed identify influences on buying BCPP as basis for designing strategies that enable BCPP’s environmental benefits. Using UK-focused citizen science dataset, we thematically analysed 610 survey responses question exploring reasons purchase. Themes are categorised barriers enablers according components of Capability, Opportunity, Motivation, Behaviour (COM-B) model behaviour. Key...
Abstract Background Postpartum haemorrhage (PPH) is the leading cause of global maternal deaths, accounting for 30–50% deaths in sub-Saharan Africa. Most PPH-related are preventable with timely detection and initiation care, which may be facilitated by using a clinical care bundle. We explore influences on current PPH management future implementation new bundle (E-MOTIVE) low-resource, high-burden settings. Methods Semi-structured qualitative interviews based Theoretical Domains Framework...
Effectiveness of evidence-based behaviour change interventions is likely to be undermined by failure deliver as planned. Behavioural support for smoking cessation can a highly cost-effective, life-saving intervention. However, in practice, outcomes are variable. Part this may due variability fidelity intervention implementation. To date, there have been no published studies on this. The present study aimed to: evaluate method assessing behavioural support; assess delivery two English...
<h2>Abstract</h2><h3>Scope</h3> Antibiotic stewardship programmes (ASPs) are necessary in hospitals to improve the judicious use of antibiotics. While ASPs require complex change key behaviours on individual, team organization and policy levels, evidence from behavioural sciences is underutilized antibiotic studies across world, including high-income countries (HICs). A consensus procedure was performed propose research priority areas for optimizing effective implementation hospital settings...
Abstract Background Although SARS-CoV-2 infection in Healthcare Workers (HCWs) is a public health concern, there little description of their longitudinal antibody response the presence or absence and symptoms. We followed HCWs an acute London hospital to measure seroconversion RNA detection at peak pandemic. Methods enrolled 200 patient-facing between 26 March 8 April 2020 collected twice-weekly self-administered nose throat swabs, symptom data monthly blood samples. Swabs were tested for by...
Eliminating plastic waste relies, in part, on changing human behaviour. This review aimed to (a) use the AACTT (Action-Actor-Context-Target-Time) framework identify and categorise relevant behaviours, (b) COM-B (Capability-Opportunity-Motivation-Behaviour) model identify, evaluate variables that might be associated with these (c) Behaviour Change Wheel Techniques Taxonomy nature of interventions. A systematic literature search identified 60 studies behaviour relating waste. Meta-analysis was...

Behaviour change interventions influence behaviour through causal processes called "mechanisms of action" (MoAs). Reports such and their evaluations often use inconsistent or ambiguous terminology, creating problems for searching, evidence synthesis theory development. This inconsistency includes the reporting MoAs. An ontology can help address these challenges by serving as a classification system that labels defines MoAs relationships. The aim this study was to develop an interventions.
Behavioral support interventions for smoking cessation are typically complex, involving multiple interacting component behavior change techniques (BCTs). Precise reporting of intervention content is important progress in the field. This study assessed adequacy published descriptions behavioral interventions.About 152 trials were identified from Cochrane reviews. Authors contacted up to 3 times requesting a copy manual. Descriptions manuals and corresponding publications coded into BCTs using...
