Intervention fidelity for profound intellectual and multiple disabilities requires ongoing attention. Organisational barriers increase over time, necessitating sustained implementation strategies to ensure quality support.
Area of Science:
- Disability Studies
- Healthcare Management
- Intervention Science
Background:
- The
- Programma Perspectief
- intervention is designed for individuals with profound intellectual and multiple disabilities (PIMD).
- Existing knowledge on intervention fidelity for PIMD support is limited and outdated.
- Effective support for individuals with special needs often faces challenges in consistent implementation.
Purpose of the Study:
- To assess the fidelity of the
- Programma Perspectief
- intervention in practice.
- To identify implementation barriers and facilitators for this intervention.
- To understand how fidelity changes over time.
Main Methods:
- A survey was conducted among 62 care professionals.
- Data collected focused on the application of core intervention elements: vision, methodical approach, and collaboration.
- The survey also gathered information on perceived implementation barriers and facilitators.
Main Results:
- The vision and methodical approach components of the intervention are evident in practice.
- A positive correlation exists between the number of perceived barriers and the time elapsed since intervention implementation.
- Organisational-level barriers tend to increase over time.
Conclusions:
- Sustained attention to implementation is crucial, even years after the initial rollout.
- Further research should develop targeted strategies to improve intervention sustainability.
- Enhancing implementation strategies will ensure the continued quality of support for individuals with PIMD.
