Implementation outcomes and factors | |||
Proctor et al. [21]. (hereafter ‘Proctor’) Implementation outcomes • the effects of deliberate and purposive actions to implement new treatments, practices, and services [21] |
Acceptability The perception among implementation stakeholders that a given treatment, service, practice, or innovation is agreeable, palatable, or satisfactory [21] |
• Patients or healthcare professionals’ satisfaction with the mainstreaming intervention [29–31, 33, 40, 48, 51, 54] |

Cost The cost impact of an implementation effort [21] |
• implementation cost of intervention or cost savings [29, 31, 40, 48] |
4/25 (16%) | |
CFIR Process |
Reflecting & Evaluating Quantitative and qualitative feedback about the progress and quality of implementation accompanied with regular personal and team debriefing about progress and experience [22] |
• Healthcare professionals’ feedback about the intervention [40, 42, 54] |
3/25 (12%) |
Self-efficacy |
Characteristics of individuals Individual belief in their own capabilities to execute courses of action to achieve implementation goals [22] |
• Healthcare professionals’ belief about their ability to undertake intervention [29, 30, 33, 40] |
4/25 (16%) |
Intervention Characteristics |
Cost Costs of the innovation and costs associated with implementing the innovation including investment, supply, and opportunity costs [22] |

6/25 (24%) |
Engaging Attracting and involving appropriate individuals in the implementation and use of the intervention through a combined strategy of social marketing, education, role modelling, training, and other similar activities [22] |
• Engaging health professionals through education or implementing the intervention [29, 30–48, 51, 52, 54, 55] |
