ABSTRACT

OBJECTIVE:

To examine the relationship between site-level adaptation and early adoption of Caregivers Finding Important Resources, Support, and Training (FIRST) training during national implementation across diverse Veteran Health Administration (VA) medical centers. DATA SOURCES AND STUDY

SETTING:

We enrolled and evaluated 25 VA medical centers (VAMCs). Along with administrative data on site characteristics, we examined site-reported data on adaptations and intervention adoption, defined as ≥4 training classes delivered to ≥5 caregivers at 6 months from April through October 2022. STUDY

DESIGN:

A type III hybrid implementation-effectiveness cluster randomized controlled trial, randomized VAMCs 11 to receive foundational (low-touch) implementation support (n = 12) or the addition of enhanced (high-touch) implementation support (n = 13). DATA COLLECTION/EXTRACTION

METHODS:

At key implementation phases, VAMCs were asked to report adaptations including content, contextual modifications (format, setting, personnel, and population), and training of providers. We describe site-level adaptations by arm and by organizational characteristics that included VAMC complexity level, staffing, rurality, and organizational readiness to change. We used qualitative comparative analysis to identify unique adaptations that contributed to intervention adoption at 6 months. PRINCIPAL

FINDINGS:

VAMCs randomized to receive enhanced support reported slightly more adaptations than those randomized to foundational support. At 6 months, VAMCs with two or more adaptations adopted Caregivers FIRST at a higher rate than those with fewer adaptations (90% vs. 44%). Staffing adaptations (e.g., who delivered the intervention), format and content (e.g., modified delivery pace), and referring provider training were unique adaptations to adopting sites.

CONCLUSIONS:

Site-level adaptations were diverse and occurred more frequently in sites with early adoption of Caregivers FIRST. Future research should identify best practices of supporting and monitoring intervention adaptation. Understanding the role of adaptation in early adoption success could assist other healthcare systems in implementing interventions for caregivers.
