From initiation to long-term implementation: Evaluating the implementation status and factors influencing implementation of interventions promoting physical activity-related health competence in German nursing education 1: Friedrich-Alexander-Universität Erlangen-Nürnberg, Germany; 2: Technical University of Munich, Germany Background In 2020, physical activity-related health competence (PAHCO) was integrated into the Bavarian nursing education curriculum, requiring practical implementation of this specific content. Within the TakeCare! project, a cluster-randomized controlled effectiveness-implementation study with three intervention groups and one control group was conducted at 16 nursing schools in Bavaria, Germany. This contribution examines implementation status and factors influencing implementation. Methods The evaluation followed a mixed-methods design. Implementation status was assessed via questionnaires completed by school project coordinators and analysed descriptively (n=16). To explore influencing factors, semi-structed interviews were conducted with coordinators and were analysed using qualitative content analysis (n=16). Results All interventions were initiated at nursing schools of the three intervention groups. However, sustained implementation of specific components occurred mainly in two groups. Various influencing factors were identified at multiple levels: schools (e.g., resources, curricular integration), individuals (e.g., teachers’ competencies, headmaster’s attitude and actions), interventions (e.g., content and methods, organization), processes (e.g., communication, planning), and beyond schools (e.g., nursing education curriculum, networks and collaborations). Conclusions In particular, implementation by teachers proved promising, regardless of whether the intervention was developed in a participatory manner or by researchers. Furthermore, sustainable implementation requires addressing multiple influencing factors. Based on these findings and effectiveness results, recommendations for statewide implementation will be developed, supporting school practitioners and policymakers to establish the promotion of competencies for physically active lifestyles among nursing students. Support/Funding Source The study is funded by the Bavarian State Ministry of Health, Care and Prevention and the German health insurance company KKH Kaufmännische Krankenkasse. | |
