Tracing the threads: a system dynamics and network diffusion model of kangaroo care implementation in neonatal care
This study demonstrates the utility of integrating system dynamics and network science to investigate complex mechanisms underlying implementation processes. Further applications are needed to validate and refine these methods and to strengthen their contribution to research surrounding implementation mechanisms.
