The purpose of these interviews is to test the applicability, comprehension, relevance and comprehensiveness of the new scales with relevant patients.
The evaluation of the CFIR's comprehensiveness, applicability and usefulness was based on data recorded during the implementation process.
No study was found that applied and evaluated the CFIR for its comprehensiveness, applicability and usefulness in an ongoing implementation project.
For this reason, the aim of the current study was to evaluate the comprehensiveness, applicability and usefulness of the CFIR itself.
This study was the first to apply and, subsequently, evaluate the CFIR for its comprehensiveness, applicability and usefulness within a large-scale CPG-implementation project in acute nursing care.
The CFIR's comprehensiveness, applicability and usefulness were assessed through a post-hoc evaluation of how useful the framework actually was for guiding the implementation of the Falls CPG during the course of implementation.
The aim of this study was to evaluate the comprehensiveness, applicability and usefulness of the CFIR in the implementation of a fall-prevention CPG in nursing practice to improve patient care in an Austrian university teaching hospital setting.
The principle limitation of this evaluation was that the assessment of how useful the CFIR actually was for guiding the implementation of a CPG during the course of implementation (i.e., the CFIR's comprehensiveness, applicability and usefulness) was performed retrospectively.
Selection of core questions was based on three criteria: applicability (proportion "not applicable"), importance (mean scores on follow-up questions), and comprehensiveness (content coverage, maximum two items per dimension).
