RESUMO
BACKGROUND: Participatory design approaches can improve successful selection and tailoring of implementation strategies by centering the voices of key constituents. To reduce incidence of the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) in the USA, co-design of implementation strategies is needed for long-acting injectable cabotegravir (CAB-LA), a new form of HIV pre-exposure prophylaxis, among the disproportionately impacted population of sexual minority men (SMM). This manuscript describes the protocol for participatory design approaches (i.e., innovation tournament and implementation mapping) to inform implementation of CAB-LA among SMM (≥ 12 years), particularly Black and Latino populations, in Chicago. METHODS: This research incorporates innovative methods to accomplish two objectives: (1) to crowdsource ideas for the design of implementation strategies for CAB-LA through a virtual innovation tournament and (2) to leverage the ideas from the innovation tournament to operationalize implementation strategies for CAB-LA thorough the systematic process of implementation mapping. A committee of constituents with diverse expertise and perspectives (e.g., SMM, implementation scientists, HIV clinicians, public health leadership, and community partners) will provide input throughout the design process. DISCUSSION: This research will produce a menu of co-designed implementation strategies, which can guide plans for CAB-LA integration in Chicago and provide insights for other EHE regions. Further, as the first innovation tournament focused on HIV prevention, this research can provide a framework for participatory approaches across the care continuum. Given that the co-design of implementation strategies often does not involve the participation of individuals with lived experiences, this work will center the voices of those who will benefit most.
RESUMO
BACKGROUND: Healthcare workforce shortages are an international issue. This service development targets the contributory element of poor retention amongst newly qualified nurses. Resilience Based Clinical Supervision is underpinned by the principles of Compassion Focused Therapy. It aims to alleviate work related stress and support individuals to reframe their experiences through structured and reflective discussion. It incorporates skills which develop proficiency in mindfulness, distress tolerance and positive reframing. OBJECTIVES: To explore the acceptability, feasibility, and experience of Resilience Based Clinical Supervision to support transition to practice in newly qualified nurses. DESIGN: An extensive program of champion (N = 40) and cascade (N = 78) training for facilitators was implemented as a development of their standard transition to practice package. SETTINGS: Six pilot sites within the UK. PARTICIPANTS: Newly qualified nurses (266) received a minimum of six Resilience Based Clinical Supervision sessions over a one-year period. METHODS: Data were gathered via eleven focus groups (n = 48). A deductive and collaborative approach to content analysis was utilised to consider the perceived outcomes, challenges, experience and best practice amongst both facilitators and nurses' transitioning from student to registered practitioner. RESULTS: Analysis showed the new registrants were extending and accepting compassion to and from their peers, signifying the compassionate flow within the group setting. This was continued through the development of self-care strategies utilised in practice, which allowed compassion to flow into patient care and towards colleagues. CONCLUSIONS: The main perceived outcome of RBCS was recognised as restorative. However, the growth of skills for self-care, emotional intelligence, and confidence to challenge poor working conditions also indicated a developmental function. These perceived outcomes have the potential to result in positive implications for workforce retention. Importantly, findings draw attention to the importance of wider organisational commitment and structures which support and respond to RBCS facilitator and participant concerns.
