The Implementation Process Assessment Tool: translation, contextualization, and psychometric evaluation of a Swedish version in a municipal elderly care context
The 27-item Swe-IPAT, translated into Swedish and contextualized, demonstrated satisfactory psychometric properties when tested in an elderly care context. The instrument is suggested to be useful in providing feedback to managers in tailoring support and assessing implementation efforts among healthcare staff in elderly care. However, more research is needed to evaluate its properties throughout the entire implementation process and to test the usability of Swe-IPAT in other settings.
