Normalization Process Theory (NPT) is crucial for understanding healthcare intervention implementation. This synthesis explores how NPT constructs explain intervention success and sustainability in complex healthcare settings.
Area of Science:
- Healthcare Implementation Science
- Health Services Research
- Qualitative Research Synthesis
Background:
- Normalization Process Theory (NPT) is a widely adopted framework for studying implementation processes in healthcare and other fields.
- NPT identifies key mechanisms influencing the adoption, integration, and sustainability of complex interventions.
- Understanding NPT's explanatory power is vital for optimizing healthcare intervention implementation.
Purpose of the Study:
- To synthesize qualitative studies employing Normalization Process Theory (NPT).
- To elucidate how NPT constructs explain the implementation, enactment, and sustainability of complex healthcare interventions.
- To enhance the understanding of NPT's role in observed and reported implementation processes.
Main Methods:
- Systematic literature search of Scopus, PubMed, Web of Science, and Google Scholar.
- Inclusion of English language, peer-reviewed qualitative or mixed-methods studies and evidence syntheses (June 2006 - December 2021).
- Qualitative synthesis using directed content analysis and unsupervised textual analysis (Leximancer®).
Main Results:
- Results are pending synthesis and will be disseminated through publications and presentations.
- The study will provide insights into the practical application and explanatory power of NPT constructs.
- Anticipated findings will detail how NPT facilitates understanding of intervention implementation dynamics.
Conclusions:
- This qualitative synthesis will offer a comprehensive understanding of Normalization Process Theory's application in healthcare implementation.
- Findings are expected to refine the use of NPT in designing, evaluating, and sustaining complex healthcare interventions.
- The study aims to contribute to the evidence base for effective implementation strategies guided by NPT.
