Abstract
There is a need for patient-provider dissemination and implementation frameworks, strategies, and protocols in palliative care settings for a holistic approach when it comes to addressing pain and other distressing symptoms affecting the quality of life, function, and independence of patients with chronic illnesses. The purpose of this scoping review is to explore patient-centered D&I frameworks and strategies that have been adopted in PC settings to improve behavioral and environmental determinants influencing health outcomes through evidence-based programs and protocols. The five step Arksey and O'Malley's (2005) York methodology was adopted as a guiding framework: (1) identifying research questions; (2) searching for relevant studies; (3) selecting studies relevant to the research questions; (4) charting the data; and (5) collating, summarizing, and reporting results. Only 6 out of the 38 (16%) included studies applied a D&I theory and/or framework. The RE-AIM framework was the most prominently cited (n = 3), followed by the Diffusion of Innovation Model (n = 2), the CONNECT framework (n = 1), and the Transtheoretical Stages of Change Model (n = 1). The most frequently reported ERIC strategy was strategy #6 "Develop and organize quality monitoring systems", as it identified in all 38 of the included studies. This scoping review identifies D&I efforts to translate research into practice in U.S. palliative care settings. Results may contribute to enhancing future D&I initiatives for dissemination/adaptation, implementation, and sustainability efforts aiming to improve patient health outcomes and personal satisfaction with care received.
