The research team identified the main categories important for implementation (e.g., recruitment, participant adherence, participant attitudes, implementation successes, difficulties and facilitators) and extracted the relevant qualitative data.
The response categories for curriculum implementation use coarse categories (taught earlier, taught this year, not yet taught) and lack nuance in qualitative degree and time of content implementation.
Category II: suggested for implementation and supported by suggestive clinical or epidemiologic studies or a theoretical rationale.
BB designed the questionnaires, developed categories for long-term implementation, interpreted the data and drafted the paper.
Category IB: strongly recommended for implementation and supported by some experimental, clinical, or epidemiologic studies, and a strong theoretical rationale.
This led to a change from the rank 10th of the post-exposure prophylaxis for healthcare workers before deliberation to 'good candidate for implementation' category, upon deliberation.
Additional barriers listed in free responses fell into multiple, small categories (n = 22), including time for implementation, logistics, student attitudes, connection with lecture, creativity, and curricular resources (Table S5), which suggests a strong contextual influence on implementation of authentic research experiences.
In the others' category, 4 papers stated that, although relevant for implementation, a simulation model cannot include cultural or behavioral aspects.
Findings were divided into three main categories: barriers to implementation, facilitators to implementation, and knowledge needed (for respondents to more comfortably and easily implement the intervention).
To assess the perceived degree of implementation of the MS, we defined five categories for the MS questionnaire: 0-29 poorts: poor implementation.
We then asked them to re-classify all interventions into three categories - based on the traffic-light analogy: 'good candidates for implementation' (green), 'not good candidates for implementation' (red), and 'in-between' (yellow).
