Communication partner training with familiar partners of people with aphasia: A systematic review and synthesis of barriers and facilitators to implementation

CONCLUSIONS & IMPLICATIONS: This systematic review and theory-informed synthesis of previously reported CPT implementation factors enabled the identification of key barriers to SLTs delivering this best practice. This led to proposed implementation strategies that should be validated, refined and evaluated in future research involving stakeholders who have contextual understanding of implementing CPT.WHAT THIS PAPER ADDS: What is already known on the subject CPT of familiar partners of PWA is an effective intervention that is inconsistently used in clinical settings. Factors influencing CPT implementation have previously been identified, but using disparate approaches and frameworks. A synthesis of these factors articulated around a common framework is currently not available. What this paper adds to existing knowledge This paper provides a theory-informed synthesis of previously reported barriers and facilitators to SLTs implementing CPT with familiar partners of PWA. It highlights key factors influencing the uptake of this best practice and includes suggestion of implementation strategies to address them. What are the potential or actual clinical implications of this work? The key influencing factors and proposed implementation strategies reported in this paper may support stakeholders in the future design of tailored and theoretically informed implementation strategies aiming to improve the delivery of familiar CPT in their setting.PMID:36417196 | DOI:10.1111/1460-6984.128...
