Abstract
Background: In healthcare implementation research, there is little discussion of researchers' experiences of using frameworks, including the Consolidated Framework for Implementation Research (CFIR).
Aim: To identify and discuss the benefits and challenges encountered and the lessons learnt from researchers' experiences of using the CFIR in different contexts and phases of research.
Discussion: This article synthesises the reflections of nursing and public health researchers on their experiences of using the CFIR across four separate healthcare-associated infection prevention and control implementation studies. The CFIR's benefits and challenges, the resolutions to these challenges and the lessons learnt from the application of the framework were discussed.
Conclusions: Identified benefits included the framework's adaptability and flexibility, and its provision of structure and shared language for research. Translation to another language and differentiating between domains and constructs were challenges.
Implications for practice: Nurse researchers may find this article useful when considering use of the CFIR, or to anticipate and prepare to overcome the challenges highlighted when using the framework.
期刊介绍:
Accounts of Chemical Research presents short, concise and critical articles offering easy-to-read overviews of basic research and applications in all areas of chemistry and biochemistry. These short reviews focus on research from the author’s own laboratory and are designed to teach the reader about a research project. In addition, Accounts of Chemical Research publishes commentaries that give an informed opinion on a current research problem. Special Issues online are devoted to a single topic of unusual activity and significance.
Accounts of Chemical Research replaces the traditional article abstract with an article "Conspectus." These entries synopsize the research affording the reader a closer look at the content and significance of an article. Through this provision of a more detailed description of the article contents, the Conspectus enhances the article's discoverability by search engines and the exposure for the research.
