Table 1. Normalisation Process Theory (NPT)27 .
| Construct | Description |
|---|---|
| Coherence | ‘Sense-making’ How is the intervention understood by participants? How do they compare it with other practices? |
| Cognitive participation | How do participants come to take part in a practice? What keeps them motivated to continue taking part? |
| Collective action | How do participants make it work? How are their activities organised and structured? |
| Reflexive monitoring | How do participants evaluate a practice? How does this change over time and what are its effects? |
NPT challenges researchers to consider how their novel intervention might become ‘normalised’ (or not) in routine practice.
