ABSTRACT
OBJECTIVES:
This Special issue of Psycho-Oncology highlights examples of the application of implementation science to research in psycho-oncology. The aim is to demonstrate the different ways that implementation science is being used to generate evidence that can more readily translate evidence into changes in clinical practice. We hope this issue fosters greater interest in using the tools of implementation science to improve the lives of people affected by cancer.METHODS:
The papers in the issue were selected from among those that responded to a call for submissions on the application of implementation science frameworks and methods to issues in psycho-oncology. The focus included but was not limited to research on understanding barriers and facilitators of intervention/practice adoption; assessing implementation outcomes, evaluating implementation strategies, and improving behavioural and/or clinical outcomes.RESULTS:
The 11 papers in this issue were grouped for presentation purposes into four common topics barriers and facilitators to implementation; feasibility as a key implementation outcome; the design, selection and adaptation of implementation strategies; and building the foundation for psycho-oncology research translation via systematic reviews that focus on implementation strategy design.CONCLUSION:
These papers demonstrate the breadth of current applications of implementation science to research in psycho-oncology. Alongside the studies featured in this issue, including cost-effectiveness analyses, tests of nationally-focused strategies and proactive planning for adaptation, we look forward to other innovations that will promote further growth of both disciplines to improve the integration of psycho-oncology interventions across healthcare systems.Palavras-chave
