The challenge of adopting the health assessment when implementing antenatal and postnatal Group Care: identifying and understanding cross-country modifications and corresponding strategies to enable its adoption
The role of differing perspectives in the adaptation process when implementing Group Care and the challenge for facilitators to align their attitudes, beliefs and skills toward the Group Care model within an individually focused healthcare system, emerged as underlying factors to fully adopt the health assessment. Furthermore, our study demonstrates that, despite the locally context-driven nature of modifications in implementation, it remains valuable to examine them within a cross-country design to identify transferable insights that inform future implementation efforts and implementation science.
