          Abstract

          Introduction

          Improving discharge information dissemination may improve patients’ health literacy of self-care and health outcomes, avoid unnecessary healthcare utilisation, and reduce the healthcare cost. This study aims to use an implementation science theory guided approach to examine the beliefs and behaviours of healthcare professionals regarding postdischarge information summary (PDIS) implementation in a public inpatient setting.

          Methods and analysis

          A multistage study design involving qualitative inquiry and Delphi expert discussion will be used to systematically explore the perceived barriers in the four implemented hospitals and enable the full implementation of the PDIS in geriatric and medical care. The theoretical domains framework (TDF), behavioural change wheel and realistic evaluation framework will be used to guide the investigation of implementation. This study consists of three steps: (1) identifying barriers and enablers from an implementation perspective using a TDF-informed interview guide; (2) devising theory-based implementation strategy packages to facilitate the adoption and enhancement of PDIS by performing a strategy mapping exercise and (3) developing an effective implementation strategy package for scaling up PDIS in other target hospitals as well as other specialities using the Delphi expert discussion. The goal of this multistage study design is to identify the perspectives from healthcare professionals towards the PDIS implementation and explore their barriers and facilitators of the process in the pilot phase. The invited healthcare professionals would share their daily experience on providing PDIS to patient in various study hospitals with similar ward setting. The implementation of discharge intervention in a study setting through different steps to aid in the exploration and development of the modified implementation strategies for the adoption and enhancement of PDIS in the discharge process.

          Ethics and dissemination

          Ethics approval for the study was obtained from the Joint Chinese University of Hong Kong—New Territories East Cluster Clinical Research Ethics Committees. Results of the study would be released as a report submitted to the Health and Medical Research Fund of Food and Health Bureau of the Hong Kong Government. The result would also be published in international peer-reviewed medical journals and presented in conferences.

            The behaviour change wheel: A new method for characterising and designing behaviour change interventions

            Background Improving the design and implementation of evidence-based practice depends on successful behaviour change interventions. This requires an appropriate method for characterising interventions and linking them to an analysis of the targeted behaviour. There exists a plethora of frameworks of behaviour change interventions, but it is not clear how well they serve this purpose. This paper evaluates these frameworks, and develops and evaluates a new framework aimed at overcoming their limitations. Methods A systematic search of electronic databases and consultation with behaviour change experts were used to identify frameworks of behaviour change interventions. These were evaluated according to three criteria: comprehensiveness, coherence, and a clear link to an overarching model of behaviour. A new framework was developed to meet these criteria. The reliability with which it could be applied was examined in two domains of behaviour change: tobacco control and obesity. Results Nineteen frameworks were identified covering nine intervention functions and seven policy categories that could enable those interventions. None of the frameworks reviewed covered the full range of intervention functions or policies, and only a minority met the criteria of coherence or linkage to a model of behaviour. At the centre of a proposed new framework is a 'behaviour system' involving three essential conditions: capability, opportunity, and motivation (what we term the 'COM-B system'). This forms the hub of a 'behaviour change wheel' (BCW) around which are positioned the nine intervention functions aimed at addressing deficits in one or more of these conditions; around this are placed seven categories of policy that could enable those interventions to occur. The BCW was used reliably to characterise interventions within the English Department of Health's 2010 tobacco control strategy and the National Institute of Health and Clinical Excellence's guidance on reducing obesity. Conclusions Interventions and policies to change behaviour can be usefully characterised by means of a BCW comprising: a 'behaviour system' at the hub, encircled by intervention functions and then by policy categories. Research is needed to establish how far the BCW can lead to more efficient design of effective interventions.

              The behavior change technique taxonomy (v1) of 93 hierarchically clustered techniques: building an international consensus for the reporting of behavior change interventions.

              CONSORT guidelines call for precise reporting of behavior change interventions: we need rigorous methods of characterizing active content of interventions with precision and specificity. The objective of this study is to develop an extensive, consensually agreed hierarchically structured taxonomy of techniques [behavior change techniques (BCTs)] used in behavior change interventions. In a Delphi-type exercise, 14 experts rated labels and definitions of 124 BCTs from six published classification systems. Another 18 experts grouped BCTs according to similarity of active ingredients in an open-sort task. Inter-rater agreement amongst six researchers coding 85 intervention descriptions by BCTs was assessed. This resulted in 93 BCTs clustered into 16 groups. Of the 26 BCTs occurring at least five times, 23 had adjusted kappas of 0.60 or above. "BCT taxonomy v1," an extensive taxonomy of 93 consensually agreed, distinct BCTs, offers a step change as a method for specifying interventions, but we anticipate further development and evaluation based on international, interdisciplinary consensus.
