Introduction:
Emergency nurses are critical to emergency care delivery, particularly in rural areas with limited medical support. To support nurses, the validated emergency nursing framework, HIRAID®, was to be implemented. Implementing interventions in the emergency context is notoriously difficult and rural areas have added challenges with limited resources across large geographic areas. This study aims to develop an evidence-informed strategy to implement HIRAID® across a large rural/regional health district.
Methods:
The behaviour change wheel and Theoretical Domains Framework were used in developing the implementation strategy. The theoretical domains, linked to barriers and enablers to implementing HIRAID®, were mapped to intervention functions. Associated Behaviour Change Techniques were considered to determine suitability to address barriers or enhance enablers, as well as suitability according to and the APEASE criteria.
Results:
Seven intervention functions, such as modelling, education, and incentivisation, were deemed suitable for inclusion. The intervention functions were mapped to 20 BCTs and planned to be operationalised through 11 delivery modes, including a flexible education program, documentation templates, and support in the workplace.
Conclusions:
This study determined the relevant BCTs and mechanisms of delivery to mediate change in behaviour and support uptake of the HIRAID® emergency nursing framework in a rural health district.

Managed Care System:
The managed care system is designed to control the cost while maintaining the quality of care. The patient's care from admission to discharge is planned by the primary care provider or the case manager, also known as the gatekeeper. In a managed care system, the number of care providers is...

When using research findings to change practice, one must understand the process used to guide a study. The scientific method is a systematic, step-by-step process that supports the data's validity, reliability, and generalizability. As a result, findings can be...
01:30Specialized Care Centers and Settings-II
Rural health centers are specialized care facilities in remote locations with very few medical personnel. The primary care providers who run the centers are mostly Registered Nurse Practitioners. Here, emergency treatment is provided to critically ill or injured patients before they are transferred to the closest hospital. Fortunately, due to advancement in technology, many rural healthcare facilities and professionals have easy access to diagnostic and treatment...
