Abstract

Introduction: Several theoretical frameworks currently promote the evidence-based clinical practice. One of these is Promoting Action on Research Implementation in Health Services (PARIHS) framework. However, The PARIHS framework emphasizes the use and implementation of pre-existing knowledge. This study aims to integrate of PARIHS conceptual framework to categorize evidence, context, and facilitation elements for the successful implementation of evidence-based painful hemiplegic shoulder (PHS) rehabilitation.

Methods: Stroke therapists (n=21) were interviewed to elicit important PHS rehabilitation concepts. Following that, a consensus approach was undertaken to tailor PHS recommendations to the local context. All consensus recommendations have been included in the PARIHS framework. The consensus level was set at 75% or more.

Results: The interviews revealed four broad themes of PHS rehabilitation, each further subdivided. Based on the themes and subthemes, 74 recommendations were deemed pertinent to PSH rehabilitation from a reliable source. Out of 74 recommendations, 63 recommendations reach the consensus level for PHS practice. Secondary prevention of PHS (n=10), assessment (n=14), PHS care management (n=19), and service delivery (n=20). A consensus was not reached for the remaining 11 recommendations. Each recommended guideline was integrated into the appropriate element of the PARIHS framework as follows: evidence (28), context (18), and facilitation (17).

Discussion: The findings showed how the PARIHS framework has been configured to empirically support the implementation of robust stroke rehabilitation recommendations in the field of rehabilitation. Using an implementation intervention theory (for example, PARIHS) as a guide, provide a thorough picture of the many levels that may affect implementation requirements.

Conclusion: Many prior studies on evidence-based stroke rehabilitation in physical therapy practice lacked knowledge of translation theories. This result illustrates how to use an intervention implementation (such as PARIHS) to enhance evidence-based practice implementation in routine stroke rehabilitation. Further study is required for the clinical use of the PARIHS framework.
