Making sense of the outcome of a rehabilitation implementation trial in the intensive care unit: Mixed methods
The study provides insights for rehabilitation implementation in resource-constrained intensive care settings. It highlights the importance of taking the next step towards implementation in complex environments and a new approach to facilitating the uptake of evidence and ensuring sustainable change through addressing the structural and organisational aspects of physiotherapy service delivery and care, and the inclusion of a multidisciplinary team approach to the implementation of any discipline-specific evidence-based protocols in the intensive care setting.
