Objectives:
Cognitive Stimulation Therapy (CST) is a group intervention for people living with dementia (PLWD), with evidence supporting its benefits for quality of life, cognitive performance, social interaction, and cost-effectiveness.
Method:
This study aimed to develop a CST Implementation Plan for Chile, using the Consolidated Framework for Implementation Research (CFIR) to identify necessary adaptations to the local context. Contextual variables were analyzed through a participatory approach involving stakeholders in Santiago and Valparaíso.
Results:
Six focus groups discussions were conducted across both cities, involving (1) people living with dementia and their caregivers, (2) healthcare professionals, and (3) decision makers. Based on input from a total of twenty-eight participants, fifteen implementation activities were generated, of which twelve were selected based on relevance and feasibility, resulting in a final set of essential actions.
Conclusion:
The CST Implementation Plan includes concrete activities tailored to the Chilean context, based on an analysis of barriers and facilitators identified by stakeholders. Its implementation seeks to establish CST as a viable therapeutic option for healthcare teams and professionals, contributing to improved quality of life for people living with dementia and their caregivers.
