Summary

The aim of this integrated Knowledge Translation (iKT) study is to develop and test a multifaceted implementation intervention for feasibility, acceptability and effectiveness. The intervention will be tailored to fit the context of the operating room (OR), to promote OR team members' use of aseptic techniques during the care of frail persons undergoing acute fracture surgery of the hip.

Through the use of an iKT approach, the investigators hypothesise that building on leadership support, partnership between researchers, managers/clinical leaders and healthcare professionals, a solid foundation for the sustained implementation of patient safety innovations can be created.

Conditions

  • Surgical Wound Infection

Interventions

BEHAVIORAL

Dialogue and inter-professional learning

The middle and front-line leaders of the study OR will participate in an intervention based on an iKT model. Components of the intervention will include: * Two workshops, consisting of educational sessions covering the state of the art regarding person-centeredness, prevention of infections, leadership, and implementation. The educational component and results of pre-studies will work as frameworks for the dialogues between the front-line leaders and the research group. In dialogues the participants will be given the opportunity to reflect on barriers to and enablers of change; and * The participants will be supported in creating an action plan aimed at facilitating the anaesthesia providers' change of practice.
