Table 4.
Provider open-response feedback on barriers of CBT-N use (n = 27).
| CFIR Domain | n (%) | Response Example |
|---|---|---|
| Innovation |
||
| Complexity | 5 (19%) | “Some veterans struggle with the workload outside of sessions.” |
| Relative Advantage | 1 (4%) | “I would say 25% of patients have a really good response to the treatment with significant reduction in nightmares. The other 75% either a) don’t complete, b) are too activated by the therapy, or c) it doesn’t work.” |
| Inner Setting |
||
| Compatibility | 2 (7%) | “It’s been a bit difficult implementing CBT-N in a residential settings given that it’s in a hospital setting, bed is not comfortable.” |
| Relative Priority | 2 (7%) | “We don’t take as many cases for CBT-N and encouraged to do more trauma-focused treatments (i.e., CPT, PE, EMDR).” |
| Resources | 9 (33%) | “The only thing stopping me from offering it more frequently is the demands on scheduling”; “It is hard for me to offer the treatment as much of as quickly as I would like because of caseload issues”;“I can do 60-minute appts but do not have support for a 90 minute. It is hard to get all the content in 60 minutes.” |
| Executing Treatment | 5 (19%) | “Need a co-facilitator for the amount of work. It is hard to get a large group of referrals to do the group and then we have dropout or scheduling issues” |
| Individual |
||
| Patient Opportunity or Need | 10 (37%) | “Veteran work schedules”; “Some patients are not proficient with technology, making it difficult to get sleep data efficiently.” |
| Patient Motivation | 6 (22%) | “Patient avoidance of writing nightmares”; “While engaging in shared decision making, veterans pick CBT-N the least often.” |
